Dear Colleagues,
It is our pleasure to announce a data science competition based on "Quantifying heterogeneity and variability in human daily rhythms". This team-based competition aims to uncover new and creative approaches for studying variability in a dataset comprising time series recordings of stress hormone rhythms in humans. Cash prizes will be awarded to the top teams across three categories.
The event will launch in April and will run until June, culminating with a workshop on 25th June 2024, to be held in Exeter. This will be followed by a training event on 26th June for early career researchers. The competition is sponsored by the EPSRC Hub for Quantitative Modelling in Healthcare, by the Centre for Systems Modelling and Quantitative Biomedicine, and the Health Technologies @ Exeter research network.
