Dr. Jean-Eudes Dazard's research is centered on Computational/Statistical Biology and Bioinformatics with emphasis on developing data mining methods for high dimensional data, as generated by metabolomics, proteomics and sequencing high-throughput technologies. His recent focuses include: Bump Hunting in Classification, Regression and Survival settings for High-Dimensional Data, Regularization and Variance Stabilization of High-Dimensional Data, Model Selection as applied to Differential Expression, Bump Hunting and interaction problems, and Causal Regulatory Network Analysis. His interest is also in Statistical Computing and Software Development: He has authored several R packages available in CRAN and GitHub.
