David Heckerman's Talk

Today, I attended a talk by David Heckerman where he talked about his work on using machine learning methods for helping the biology community with the AIDS vaccine. Though I might not have understood quite some portion of the talk. Couple of things I learnt from the talk:

1. Fisher's test (P-measure)
2. False Discovery rate
3. There are some people who are immune to aids and this depends upon the kind of immune system (HLA-B57 vs HLA-B27).
