The contest attracted nearly 9,000 teams from universities in China.<\/p>\n\n<p>The UM team was formed by PhD\nstudent Guo Li and master\u2019s students Wu Yinwen and Kong Lingning. Led by\nAssistant Professor Chen Long from the Department of Computer and Information\nScience, the team chose the \u2018genome-wide association study\u2019 in the contest. By\napplying the sparse linear model, the team designed a mathematical method to\nfind disease-related genes in the human DNA and achieved good results in the\nanalysis of test data provided by the contest organiser.<\/p>\n\n<p>In the big data era, it has\nbecome more and more important to know how to build mathematical models that\ncan explain data for future uses. UM places an emphasis on cultivating\nstudents\u2019 skills in mathematical modelling. Previously, UM students won prizes\nin several other modelling contests, including the Contemporary Undergraduate\nMathematical Contest in Modeling of China 2015, and the Interdisciplinary\nContest in Modeling 2016 held in the United States.<\/p><div>Source:&nbsp;Communications Office&nbsp;<\/div><p><\/p><p><\/p><p><\/p><div><p>Media Contact Information:<br style=\"box-sizing: border-box;font-stretch: normal;line-height: 22px;\"\/>Communications Office, University of Macau<\/p><p><\/p><p><\/p><p><\/p><p><\/p><p><\/p><p><\/p><p><\/p><p>Albee Lei &nbsp;Tel\uff1a(853) 88228004<br style=\"box-sizing: border-box;font-stretch: normal;line-height: 22px;\"\/>Kelvin U &nbsp;Tel\uff1a(853) 88224322<br style=\"box-sizing: border-box;font-stretch: normal;line-height: 22px;\"\/>Email\uff1aprs.media@um.edu.mo<br style=\"box-sizing: border-box;font-stretch: normal;line-height: 22px;\"\/>UM Website\uff1awww.umac.mo<\/p><\/div><p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A team of postgraduate students from the University of Macau (UM) Faculty of Science and Technology won a second prize at the 13th National Postgraduate Mathematic Contest in Modelling.
