DESCRIPTION:Title: Long-run relationship between the unemployment rate and the trade balance in the United States: an empirical analysis \nSpeaker: Haydory Akbar Ahmed \nMissouri State Deltin 7 Aviator গেম টাকা ইনকাম \nDepartment of Economics\, 901 S National Avenue \nSpringfield\, MO 65897\, USA \n  \nAbstract: \nDynamics between the unemployment rate and the trade balance has both economic and political relevance.\nFrom a macroeconomic perspective\, the presence of a long run co-movement or equilibrium relationship\nalong with the nature of the short-run fluctuations in the long run co-movement will help us analyze the\ndynamics between the two in an objective manner. We use quarterly data from 1947: Q1 to 2017: Q4 on\nunemployment and trade balance to GDP ratio in the United States. Although traditional cointegration\ntests fail to detect a statistically significant long run co-movement\, a couple of threshold cointegration tests\nconfirm statistical evidence in favor of threshold cointegration or threshold long run co-movement between\nthe two. Estimated threshold vector error-correction model shows statistically significant evidence of falling\nunemployment rate with deteriorating trade balance. This finding indicates that as unemployment rates go\ndown\, the trade balance deteriorates to maintain the long run co-movement. Arguably\, as unemployment\ndecline imports rise faster than exports causing the trade balance to deteriorate.

SUMMARY:Seminar on Sunday\, 21 October 2018 at 2 pm
DESCRIPTION:Title: Joint Modeling of Longitudinal Response and Time-To-Event Data Using Conditional Distributions: A Bayesian Perspective\n\n \nSpeaker: Arindom Chakraborty\, PhD\n\n               Assistant Professor\n               Department of Statistics\n               Visva-Bharati Deltin 7 Aviator গেম টাকা ইনকাম\, India\n \nAbstract: Over last twenty or more years a lot of methodological development and clinical application of joint models of longitudinal and time-to-event outcomes have come up. In these studies patients are followed until an event\, such as death occurs. In most of the articles\, using subject specific random effects as frailty\, the dependency of these two processes has been established. In this article\, we propose a new joint model that consists of a linear mixed effects submodel for longitudinal data and an accelerated failure model for the time-to-event data. These two submodels are linked together by not only latent random process\, but also by the conditional distributional assumption. This model will capture the dependency of the time-to-event on the longitudinal measurements more directly. Using standard priors\, a Bayesian method is developed for estimation. All computations based on the Bayesian inference via MCMC is implemented using OpenBugs. Our proposed method is evaluated by a simulation study which shows the efficiency of the conditional model over two other models: joint models with local independence and independent models. One clinically motivating data on Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) syndrome and a popular data on AIDS are also analyzed.

SUMMARY:Seminar on Tuesday\, July 17 at 2 pm
DESCRIPTION:Title: Non-inferiority testing under generalized Poisson distribution\n\nVenue: ISRT seminar room \n\nSpeaker:  Md Abu Manju\, PhD\n                Department of Mathematics and Computer Science\n                Eindhoven Deltin 7 Aviator গেম টাকা ইনকাম of Technology\, Eindhoven\, The Netherlands\n\n \nAbstract: In recent years\, non-inferiority studies for count data have been increasingly used in the evaluation of new test methods or new treatments (e.g.\, microbiological test methods\, particle counters or drugs\, vaccines) and the Poisson distribution is commonly assumed as it provides a standard framework for the analysis of count data. A generalization of the Poisson distribution\, referred to as the generalized Poisson distribution (GPD)\, which models not only overdispersion\, but also underdispersion\, may be more appropriate in certain applications\, including comparison of microbiological test methods. We therefore propose tests for the assessment of non-inferiority and sample size calculation procedures under GPD. Asymptotic likelihood ratio test (LRT)\, Wald and Exact conditional tests are derived\, and the type I error rate and statistical power are computed for these three tests based on simulations. In terms of type I error rate and statistical power\, LRT and Wald test perform similarly\, but the Exact test is conservative and has less type I error rate and power than the LRT and Wald test. Finally\, expressions are derived for calculating the sample sizes that yield sufficient power to test the non-inferiority of the new methods or treatments based on Wald test and LRT.

DESCRIPTION:Title of the Talk: Can We Train Machine Learning Methods to Outperform the High-dimensional Propensity Score Algorithm?\n\nSpeaker: Dr. M. Ehsan Karim\n\n               Assistant Professor\, SPPH\, UBC\n               Scientist & Biostatistician\, CHEOS\, Canada\n\nVenue: ISRT Seminar room\n\n—————————————Abstract-——————————————————————-\nThe use of retrospective health care claims datasets is frequently criticized for the lack of complete information on potential confounders. Utilizing patient’s health status–related information from claims datasets as surrogates or proxies for mismeasured and unobserved confounders\, the high-dimensional propensity score algorithm enables us to reduce bias. Using a previously published cohort study of postmyocardial infarction statin use (1998–2012)\, we compare the performance of the algorithm with a number of popular machine learning approaches for confounder selection in high-dimensional covariate spaces: random forest\, least absolute shrinkage and selection operator\, and elastic net. Our results suggest that\, when the data analysis is done with epidemiologic principles in mind\, machine learning methods perform as well as the high-dimensional propensity score algorithm. Using a plasmode framework that mimicked the empirical data\, we also showed that a hybrid of machine learning and high-dimensional propensity score algorithms generally perform slightly better than both in terms of mean squared error\, when a bias-based analysis is used. This talk is based on a joint work with Menglan Pang and Robert W Platt from McGill Deltin 7 Aviator গেম টাকা ইনকাম [Epidemiology: 2018\,29(2):191–198].\n———————————————————————————————————————–

DESCRIPTION:Title: Modified Inferential Methods on Restricted Parameters in Multivariate Regression Analysis: Applications in Socio-demographic Research \nSpeaker: Sheikh Mohammad Sayem\n\n               PhD Researcher\, ISRT\n \nAbstract: Multivariate regression analysis is getting increasing attention among the socio-demographers due to the complex nature of the interdependence of the response variables. This PhD research is to carry out detailed study on restricted parameters of multivariate regression analysis with continuous\, discrete or mixed responses to seek out or develop efficient point estimation strategy and hence develop appropriate hypothesis testing procedure for hypothesis involving restricted parameters.This seminar will give a clear idea about the specific objectives of the PhD research and about the way how the objectives will be met in line of the existing literature. In this study\, a modified maximum likelihood estimation technique is primarily used for estimating restricted parameters of multivariate regression analysis with continuous responses. A Monte Carlo simulation is carried out to evaluate the performance of the estimators. The relative efficiency of the modified maximum likelihood estimator is found to be higher than the ordinary least square or maximum likelihood estimators.

DESCRIPTION:Title: Approximation of the Formal Bayesian Model Comparison using the Extended Conditional Predictive Ordinatecriterion\n\nSpeaker: Md. Rashedul Hoque\, Assistant Professor\, ISRT\n \nVenue and Time: ISRT seminar room\, 2 pm\n\nAbstract: The optimal method for Bayesian model comparison is the formal Bayes factor (BF)\, according to decision theory. The formal BF is computationally troublesome for more complex models. If predictive distributions under the competing models do not have a closed form\, a cross-validation idea\, called the conditional predictive ordinate (CPO) criterion can be used. In the cross-validation sense\, this is a ‘leave-out one’ approach. CPO can be calculated directly from the Monte Carlo (MC) outputs\, and the resulting Bayesian model comparison is called the pseudo-Bayes factor (PBF). We can get closer to the formal Bayesian model comparison by increasing the ‘leave-out size’\, and at ‘leave-out all’ we recover the formal BF. But\, the MC error increases with increasing ‘leave-out size’. In this study\, we examine this for linear and logistic regression models.\nOur study reveals that the Bayesian model comparison can favor a different model for PBFcompared to BF when comparing two close linear models. So\, larger ‘leave-out sizes’ are preferred which provide result close to the optimal BF. On the other hand\, MC samples based formal Bayesian model comparisons are computed with more MC error for increasing ‘leave-out sizes’; this is observed by comparing with the available closed-form results. Still\, considering a reasonable error\, we can use ‘leave-out size’ more than one instead of fixing it at one. These findings can be extended to logistic models where closed form solution is\nunavailable.

DESCRIPTION:Title: Evolution of Reproductive Health in Bangladesh\n \nSpeaker: Dr. Halida Hanum Akhter \n               Faculty Member \n               Bloomberg School of Public Health \n               John Hopkins Deltin 7 Aviator গেম টাকা ইনকাম\, Baltimore\, USA\n\nVenue: ISRT seminar room\n               \n\nAbstract: \nIn Bangladesh\, the government family planning program started in 1965 and at NGO level in around 1952. The government program was a vertical program with only IUD (intra uterine device) and high dose oral pills as a pilot program. With a demonstration project on post-partum tubal ligation in four urban clinics\, under the Family Planning Board\, the program was implemented in the whole country. In 1974\, MFSTC (Mohammadpur Fertility Services and Training Center) started as a special project of Ministry of Health and Family Planning\, Then around 1978 family planning and MCH was integrated and named MCH based family planning program. Subsequently in 1994\, ICPD (International  Conference on Population and Development) also named as Cairo conference where Reproductive health concept and definition was introduced\, vetted and cosigned by 198 countries of the world. All these countries were the cosignatory of this ‘program of action’ document and agreed to introduce reproductive health in the country program. Reproductive health is a rights based approach committing to address Life Cycle approach to women’s health issues.  Since 1994\, many international instruments\, such as ICPD POA\, ICPD +5\, ICPD +15 monitored programs nationally and globally. \nThe speaker talks about the accomplishment thus far and the unfinished agenda in reproductive health in Bangladesh.

SUMMARY:Seminar on Tuesday\, January 9 at 2 pm
DESCRIPTION:Title: Panjer Recursion to evaluate total claim distribution recursively\n\n \nSpeaker: Dr. Abdul H. Sharif\n              Adjunct Professor\n              Mathematical Sciences Department\n              Central Connecticut State Deltin 7 Aviator গেম টাকা ইনকাম\, USA. \n   \nAbstract: The usual method of evaluating the distribution function of the total claims incurred in a fixed period of time\, requires the computation of many convolutions of the conditional distribution of the amount of a claim given that a claim has occurred. When the expected number of claims is large\, the computation can become unwieldy even with modern large-scale electronic computers. In this presentation\, a recursive definition of the distribution of total claims is developed for a family of claim number distributions and arbitrary claim amount distributions. When the claim amount is discrete\, the recursive definition can be used to compute the distribution of total claims without the use of convolutions. This can reduce the number of required computations by several orders of magnitude for sufficiently large portfolios.\n\nFinally\, I will discuss some current research on total claim modeling. Assuming the diversified level of the audience\, the level of mathematics will be kept to probability generating function(PGF) and moment generating function (MGF).

DESCRIPTION:Title: Developing Public Speaking Skills in Statistical Communication\n \nSpeaker: Mohammed Shahidullah\, PhD\, MPH\n              State Demographer\n              Illinois Department of Public Health and\n              Adjunct Faculty\n              The Deltin 7 Aviator গেম টাকা ইনকাম of Illinois\, Springfield\, USA\n    \n Abstract: Public speaking is the process or act of performing a speech to a live audience. The objective of public speaking is to inform\, persuade or to entertain the audience. It helps in skill building\, professional credibility\, networking and finding suitable jobs. As an applied statistician it is a challenge how we communicate with our audience including our students\, colleagues and consulting clients. My talk will concentrate on: Benefits of Public Speaking\, Steps in Successful Public Speaking and Resources Available to Improve Public Speaking. Toastmasters International club (www.toastmasters.org) is a great way to learn how to formulate\, express\, and sell your ideas and yourself with confidence. I will share with you my experience with this club and how it works. My recommendation will be to join such a club to improve your skills in public speaking and leadership.
