Hi there.
I am a 3rd year graduate student from the department of Biomathematics at University of California, Los Angeles. I love speedcubing, coding, swimming, anime, piano, and brewing milk tea. I also used to love jigsaw puzzles, yoyo, go, calligraphy…. but my interest comes and goes. Last year I participate in google summer of code with Julia!

MendelIHT.jl: How to fit Generalized Linear Models for High Dimensional Genetics (GWAS) Data
benjamin chu
GWAS data are extremely high dimensional, large (>100GB), dense, and typically contains rare and correlated predictors. In this talk we discuss its unique data structures, how to efficiently represent it with Julia, how MendelIHT.jl in conjunction with Distributions.jl and GLM.jl fits generalized linear models for GWAS data, and the role of parallel computing.
