Last month, North America’s largest gathering of statisticians and data scientists came together at the Joint Statistical Meeting in Denver, where several students and faculty from the University of Colorado Denver presented their innovative research alongside some of the industry’s most brilliant minds. “In terms of application, the industry is...

The CU Denver Data Science Symposium will bring together data science communities from CU Denver, whether they be the communities that pursue research in core data science, applications of data science in various fields of research, or education programs in data science. Participants will learn about data science research, education...

New journal articles by Mathematical and Statistical Sciences Professor Stephanie Santorico and colleagues indicate that both genetic and environmental factors play significant roles in the onset of vitiligo, an autoimmune disease that results in the loss of color in blotches of skin . The findings also show that while the...
