This month's MHRI-GHUCCTS Monthly Statistical Seminar Series will be held on Friday, February 20, 2026, from 12 PM - 1 PM. This series features Dr. Paul Kolm, Associate Director in the Center for Biostatistics, Informatics, & Data Science (CBIDS) at MedStar Health Research Institute.

The topic of this month's seminar will look at the relationship between two time series and assess whether one “leads” the other and can be said to “cause” the other. Only one aspect of causality is assessed – that “cause” must come before (lead) the effect. We will also discuss the related notion of “Granger causality”.
