      An overview/discussion of various graphical model selection
      approaches, with genomic applications in mind.  
       
      David George Edwards, Biostatistics, Novo Nordisk A/S, Denmark.  

Many approaches to graphical model selection have been proposed, but most
seem unsuitable for the huge sparse problems arising in genomics. The
talk will sketch some  methods with focus on approaches based on tests in
low-dimensional margins (Kreiner, 1989; Wille et al, 2004), which seem
very promising.
