Online Course: Machine Learning Methods for Longitudinal Data with Python

Dates: 6–9 May 2025

This course introduces methods for analyzing longitudinal (sequence) data—datasets collected repeatedly in time or space—where time and causation are key factors. Participants will learn about challenges in time-series and sequence data analysis, covering both classical statistical approaches and modern machine learning techniques.

The course will explore:

• Time-series forecasting and survival analysis
• Bayesian networks and graph models
• Confounding, colliding, and mediator bias in causal inference
• Deep learning models, including Transformers
• Applications in epidemiology, gene expression, and other life sciences

The course is designed for researchers and professionals working with time-dependent data, particularly in biological sciences. While familiarity with Python is helpful, it is not a requirement. The program includes a mix of lectures, hands-on exercises using Python and Jupyter Notebooks, and discussions of participants’ research challenges.
