SUMMARY:Applied Statistics Seminar on Tuesday (February 7\, 2023) at 12 PM
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nThe exchangeability of units between treatment groups is a key and typically untestable assumption for evaluating causal intervention effects in observational studies. Standard methods assuming exchangeability can yield biased treatment effect estimates if the assumption does not hold. Existing methods evaluate the sensitivity of treatment effect estimates to non-exchangeability due to unmeasured confounders only. In practice\, non-exchangeability can occur for either unmeasured confounders or reverse causality. We propose an index of sensitivity to non-exchangeability (ISENSE) to measure the impact of non-exchangeability on treatment effect estimates. Unlike existing methods\, ISENSE does not require imposing assumptions on the types\, numbers\, and distributions of unmeasured confounders\, and it can handle both unmeasured confounders and reverse causality. ISENSE is a computationally inexpensive local sensitivity method based on a Taylor-series approximation to the non-exchangeability likelihood\, evaluated at the parameter estimates under the exchangeability assumption. One can interpret ISENSE intuitively through the unit-free “MinNE” statistic values that capture the minimum non-exchangeability needed to cause important sensitivity. We evaluate ISENSE using simulation studies and illustrate its use with an example using administrative data from British Columbia\, Canada.\n\n\nPresenter:\n\n\nMd Rashedul Hoque\nPh.D. Candidate\, SFU\nMethodologist\, Statistics Canada\nTrainee Biostatistician\, Arthritis Research Canada\nMob: +1 778 882 0689

SUMMARY:Seminar on "Anomaly Detection in Temporal Networks through Topological Features and Motifs with Application to Mobility Data" at 2 pm on December 20\, 2022
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Dr. Asim Kumer Dey\, Brac Deltin 7 Aviator গেম টাকা ইনকাম \nVenue: ISRT seminar room \nDate and time: 2 pm on Tuesday\, 20 December 2022 \nTitle: Anomaly Detection in Temporal Networks through Topological Features and Motifs with Application to Mobility Data \nAbstract: This paper aims to shed light on the potential relations among various higher-order network topological features and meso-level functionality of temporal networks. In particular\, we evaluate higher-order topological features\, e.g.\, motif\, betti number\, and persistence images\, to characterize the dynamics of a temporal network. We then use the functional data depth techniques on the resultant betti functions and vectorized persistent images to identify abnormal behavior in the temporal network. We apply the proposed methods to the temporal human mobility networks. Experiments on both synthetic temporal networks and human mobility networks demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed methods. \n

SUMMARY:Seminar on Subgroup Analysis with Differential Treatment Effects and Biomarker Identification at 2 pm on December 6\, 2022
DESCRIPTION:Title: Subgroup Analysis with Differential Treatment Effects and Biomarker Identification \nAbstract: \nIn the process of drug development and regulatory decision making\, it is important to characterize heterogeneity of subject response to treatment. The heterogenous effect is typically assessed based on variety of information on clinical\, gene and protein expression markers\, commonly known as biomarkers. Previous studies have shown that mRNA expression patterns of tumor samples can predict clinical outcome of cancer patients. Altered mRNA expression profiles from tumor samples can serve as the\nmolecular basis of the cancer patients and hence can be used as the molecular signatures for subgrouping of patients with different survival. The primary objective of this research is two-fold: i) to integrate multi-omic data such as mRNA expression profiles and the copy number variations in order to identify mutated driver genes\, and ii) to use a significant set of driver mutated latent gene structures to identify breast cancer patient subgroups with distinguishable clinical outcomes. As an example\, differential treatment effects of cardio-respiratory fitness (CRF) are assessed on survival experience of a group of individuals from an observational study. Similar approach will be considered to identify subgroups of breast cancer patients with different clinical outcomes. \n  \nSpeaker: \nDr. Munni Begum\nPROFESSOR OF MATHEMATICAL SCIENCES AND DIRECTOR OF THE DATA SCIENCE AND ANALYTICS PROGRAMS\nBall State Deltin 7 Aviator গেম টাকা ইনকাম\nhttps://www.bsu.edu/academics/collegesanddepartments/math/about/facultyandstaff/faculty/begummunni

SUMMARY:Seminar on "The Impact of Food Insecurity on Health Status\, Suicidal Ideation and Quality of Life Among Adults Living in Poverty: A Study in Urban Slums of Bangladesh"
DESCRIPTION:Title:  The Impact of Food Insecurity on Health Status\, Suicidal Ideation and Quality of Life Among Adults Living in Poverty: A Study in Urban Slums of Bangladesh \n  \nAbstract: \nFood insecurity is an ongoing public health issue in developing countries\, including Bangladesh\, exacerbated by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. It has considerable health impacts on the physical\, social\, and psychological status of individuals in communities suffering from food insecurity. This study aimed to determine factors associated with household food insecurity\, physical illness\, suicidal ideation\, and quality of life. A cross-sectional study was conducted among 698 adults in the Mirpur and Tongi slum region in Bangladesh using a semi-structured questionnaire. The analysis found that the prevalence of food insecurity was high among adults who are 40 years old and in households with larger family sizes; individuals without education were at higher risk of food insecurity; day laborers and transport drivers were at the highest risk of food; property owner was at lower risk of food insecurity compared to who does not have any types of property. The prevalence of food insecurity was also high among people who were suffering from different kinds of physical illness compared to healthy people. Divorced or widowed individuals were more likely to be food insecure than single individuals. Food insecurity was also associated with quality of life negatively. Lower socio-economic status\, poor quality of life\, and pandemic-induced work loss affected household food insecurity. It is suggested that any interventions with financial aid and complemented food distributions\, particularly among the wage looser\, may improve food insecurity. \n  \nSpeaker:  \nMd.

SUMMARY:Seminar on “Identification of delayed transfer of care (DTOC) patients at the time of admission and prediction of their length of stay in NHS hospitals”
DESCRIPTION:Title: “Identification of delayed transfer of care (DTOC) patients at the time of admission and prediction of their length of stay in NHS hospitals” \nSummary: Delayed transfer of care (DTOC)\, also known as bed-blocking has been a persistent challenge for NHS hospitals. It occurs when a patient is clinically ready to be discharged\, however\, the patient cannot be discharged due to unavailability of other necessary care\, support\, or accommodation. The consequences of DTOC are high cost\, mortality\, infections\, depression and reductions in patients’ mobility and their ability to undertake daily activities. In this talk\, a case study based on an NHS hospital will be discussed to identify DTOC patients at the time of admission. Issues related to the date of discharge prediction and other related challenges will be highlighted. \nPresenter: \nMd Asaduzzaman \nAssociate Professor \nDepartment of Engineering\, School of Digital\, Technologies and Arts \nRoom B009A\, Cadman Building\, Staffordshire Deltin 7 Aviator গেম টাকা ইনকাম \nStoke-on-Trent ST4 2DE\, United Kingdom \n

SUMMARY:Seminar on "Constrained inference in mixed models for clustered data"
DESCRIPTION:Title: Constrained inference in mixed models for clustered data\n\n\nAbstract:\nMixed models are commonly used for analyzing clustered data\, including\nlongitudinal data and repeated measurements. Unrestricted full maximum\nlikelihood (ML) methods have been extensively studied in the literature\nfor analyzing generalized\, linear\, and mixed models. However\, constraints\nor parameter orderings may occur in practice\, and in such cases\, we can\nimprove the efficiency of a statistical method by incorporating parameter\nconstraints into the ML estimation and hypothesis testing. In this talk\, I\nwill discuss constrained inference with generalized linear mixed models\n(GLMMs) under linear inequality constraints. Methods will be assessed\nusing both Monte Carlo simulations and actual survey data from a health\nstudy. \n\n\nPresenter:\n\nSanjoy Sinha\n\n\n\nProfessor\nSchool of Mathematics and Statistics\nCarleton Deltin 7 Aviator গেম টাকা ইনকাম\, Ottawa\, ON\, Canada

SUMMARY:Seminar on "What it means to be an Applied Statistician -- an industry perspective"
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nThis question was asked many times in the past. I am sure all of you have pondered about it at some point in your academic life. In this talk\, I will explain what it truly means to be an applied statistician. Spoiler alert: statistics is inherently applied from an industry perspective. We do not differentiate between a statistician and an applied statistician. \nSo are you ready to apply your skills? What do we expect a statistician to do in the industry? Are academic institutions making you industry-ready? There is no one correct answer here. It depends on the context. In this talk\, I will share my experience in the industry that would help you understand the opportunities ahead and how you can align your focus and take steps to make the most out of it. \n  \nSpeaker: \nEnayetur Raheem\, Ph.D.\nPrincipal Data Scientist at ConcertAI\n(A DaaS AI startup in Oncology)\nUnited States of America

SUMMARY:Seminar on Improved Statistical Approach for Climate Projection over Bangladesh using Downscaling of Global Climate Model Outputs
DESCRIPTION:Title: Improved Statistical Approach for Climate Projection over Bangladesh using Downscaling of Global Climate Model Outputs \nSpeaker: Md. Bazlur Rashid \nAbstract:\nBangladesh is facing from severe impacts of climate change because of its low-lying coastal\nareas\, deforestation\, and rapid human population growth\, technological and industrial\nintervention. The climate change parameters namely\, temperature\, heavy rainfall\, sea surface\ntemperature\, frequency of floods\, cyclones and storm surges are showing significant changed at\nevery year and it has a massive impact on food production which may turn into food uncertainty\nby amplifying the environmental and socio-economic pressure. The impact of climate change on\nenvironment is immeasurable and it has large threat in our country. Appropriate strategies based\non the climate information research will reduce the vulnerability of livelihoods and\ninfrastructures to future climate change and contributes to achieve sustainability in resources.\nClimate change projection poses an unprecedented challenge for meteorology\, climatology etc.\nGlobal Climate Model (GCM) has evolved from the Atmospheric General Circulation Models\n(AGCMs) broadly used for daily\, seasonal and long term climate projection. The most widely\ndocumented application is the projection of future climate conditions under several scenarios of\nincreasing atmospheric components. Over the last few eras\, GCMs have been developed to\nmatch the present climate system and to project future climate scenarios. Despite outstanding\nprogress\, GCMs do not deliver seamless simulations of reality and cannot afford the specifics\non very small spatial scales due to imperfect scientific understanding and limitations of\navailable observations in our country. For connecting the gap between the scale of GCMs and\ncrucial resolution for practical applications\, downscaling provides climate change information\nat a suitable spatial and temporal scale from the GCM data. No downscaling for Bangladesh of\ndetail temperature and precipitation has been undertaken. Current research in Bangladesh has not\naddressed seasonal based climate projections. Extreme events especially temperature and rainfall\nalong with seasonality\, under future climate in Bangladesh represent a further research gap and\nopportunity for this research. The main object of study is to develop efficient statistical\nmethods for climate projection. The specific objectives are (i) to identify suitable model with\nbias corrections for assessing and understanding climate impacts on rainfall and temperature\nusing climate model outputs; (ii) to explore the efficiency of the bias correction statistical\ndownscaling method in addressing the model-related uncertainties involved in future climate\npredictions; (iii) to classify a suitable downscaling approach for climate model data to allow\nseasonal meteorological climate impact studies and (iv) to cross check between available\nstatistical downscaling techniques for future climate projections and scenarios generation over\nBangladesh.\nTo achieve the objectives\, this research connects the gap between large and local scale climate\nvariables\, a number of statistical downscaling methods are used. A stepwise multiple linear\nregression method is used in study. One significant motivation behind the empirical statistical\ndownscaling method applied in this research is to make use of the large scales that the models \nare able to reproduce realistically to say something about local changes. Altogether GCMs have\na minimum skillful scale which means that their separate grid-box values are not a good diagram\nof the area they represent in the actual world (because computers work with discrete numbers).\nThe procedure of common EOF analysis makes it possible to identify common spatial patterns in\nreanalysis and GCM data on a scale that is good represented by climate models.\nThis study reveals that future CO 2 emissions are expected to have severe consequences for the\nwinter season in Bangladesh in terms of significant warming in the whole country. All emission\nscenarios show an increasing mean temperature in Bangladesh\, but while RCP2.6 shows the\ntemperature plateauing mid-century\, the average increase is 2 times higher in the far future\ncompared to the near future assuming RCP4.5\, and 4 times higher assuming RCP8.5. Finally\,\nthis research demonstrates that while warming may be unavoidable\, there are still opportunities\nto limit the severity of climate change in the future.

SUMMARY:An Introduction to R Shiny Application
DESCRIPTION:R Shiny is a platform which allows to utilize all the features of R programming for creating an interactive web application (App). Web application development is recently becoming popular due to several respects. For instance\, the interactive nature of a web application allows us to visualize and/or analyze real-time (or dynamic) data. Popular examples include real-time monitoring of utility usage\, online updating of dynamic models\, weather forecasting\, etc. Simple sharing of an R Shiny App via a local or shiny server helps disseminate our work to a larger audience\, which can eventually improve the impact of the work. We can also use R Shiny App as an attractive tool for educational and teaching purposes. \nThe goal of this workshop is to teach the basic skeleton of developing an R Shiny App. Knowledge about R is preferred\, however\, basic programming knowledge would be okay to participate in this workshop. This workshop will show the basic syntax structure and will demonstrate reproducible examples of R Shiny Apps. At the end of the workshop\, an example of our recent development will be displayed with the audience. \n  \nResource Person’s Biography: \nMd. Tuhin Sheikh is a Lecturer of Applied Statistics at the Deltin 7 Aviator গেম টাকা ইনকাম of Deltin 7. Currently\, he is pursuing his Ph.D. in Statistics at the Deltin 7 Aviator গেম টাকা ইনকাম of Connecticut (UConn).
