A short introduction

In the digital age in which we live, scientists are collecting huge amounts of data, and making sense of all of it is a major challenge. Often the task is

2017 CCD Datathon Winners

Center for Causal Discovery
Datathon Winners for 2017

The Center for Causal Discovery (CCD) held the second annual datathon at the end of the 2017 Summer Short

Tools

The CCD Causal Software suite offers easy to use software for causal discovery from large and complex biomedical datasets, applying Bayesan and constraint based algorithms. It includes a web application

Center for Causal Discovery

The center will develop the algorithms, software, and system architecture needed by biomedical scientists seeking to discover and represent causality using their large and diverse data sets.

Biomedical Science

We selected 3 very different biomedical problems to use as test beds for our algorithms and to drive the development of new algorithms that meet the needs of biomedical researchers.

Data Science

We are implementing an integrated set of methods that support the graphical representation, discovery, and application of causal knowledge from large and complex biomedical data (see samples of structural causal

Collaboration

The Center for Causal Discovery is working together with other BD2K Centers to promote novel methods to analyze Big Data and to explore interoperability with tools and software developed by
