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 URL:https://isrt.ac.bd/event/seminar-on-what-it-means-to-be-an-applied-statistician-an-industry-perspective/ LOCATION:Online\, Institute of Statistical Research and Training\, Deltin 7 Aviator গেম টাকা ইনকাম of Deltin 7\, Deltin 7\, Please Select\, 1000\, Bangladesh CATEGORIES:seminar END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20211019T113000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20211019T123000 DTSTAMP:20251025T181140 CREATED:20210930T173830Z LAST-MODIFIED:20211018T050015Z UID:4853-1634643000-1634646600@isrt.ac.bd 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.

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.

One reason is the automation that many companies are focusing on nowadays. Almost all grants in academia have a ‘technology component’ these days that often requires creating an interactive dashboard. There are competitors like Power BI\, Tableau dashboard\, etc. but those can also be integrated with R. Moreover\, using R allows a range of statistical methods that are not readily available in other software. While there are so many free materials available online to learn the R Shiny app\, some of us might have never gotten the time and opportunity to learn it. This session will take a hands-on DIY approach and help the participants create and host their first simple R Shiny app on the spot. We will emphasize explaining the ‘structure’ of the app so that the participants are able to understand the more complex apps available online. This session will also direct the participants to resources where they can learn more.

The DNN can be considered as a generalization of traditional regression analysis. Considering a particular objective of predicting output\, traditional regression analysis extracts low level features based on the observed input covariates. However\, when we deal with high dimensional data and a numerous input features\, low level feature extraction often leads to low prediction accuracy. The DNN on the other hand\, has been found to effective in extracting high level feature with promising prediction accuracy. In DNN\, we assume that similar to the neural system\, the input covariates go through different neurons at different layers until it reaches the final output layer. The higher the number of middle layers\, the deeper the network is. If there is no (hidden) layers in the middle\, it generalizes to only input and output layer as in traditional regression. Like regression\, DNN requires a loss function and criterion for minimization. The key difference would be\, extraction of hidden features and connecting those to the final output prediction. \nDue to the advancement of computer algorithms and emergence of interesting data\, this research field has been found to interesting in present times. Many big companies (e.g. Google\, Facebook\, Boehringer Ingelheim\, etc.) have been practicing deep neural network modelling due to the satisfactory performance. In the past\, mostly computer scientists and engineers contributed in this field. However\, the attractive mathematical foundation behind this interesting methodology got the attention of the Statisticians recently. As Statisticians\, there are huge scopes to contribute to this emerging field through statistical innovation. In this session\, the audience can expect the discussion on background and basic mathematical foundation of DNN. Also\, I will introduce an R package “Keras”\, which can be used to work with deep neural network. At the end of the discussion on this interesting topic\, I will spend some time discussing higher study experience in USA.

We encounter data in every walks of life\, and for analytically and objectively-minded people\, data is everything. However\, making sense of the data and extracting meaningful information from it may not be an easy task. We come across buzzwords such as big data\, high dimensional data\, data science\, and open data without a proper definition of such words. The rapid growth in the size and scope of data sets in a host of disciplines has created a need for innovative statistical strategies analyzing such data. For example\, many private and public agencies are using sophisticated data mining strategies and/or big data analytics to reveal patterns based on collected information. Some examples of big data that have prompted demand are digital marketing\, customer service standards\, gene expression arrays\, social network modeling\, clinical\, genetics and phenotypic data. \nThe need for novel statistical strategies to analyze such data sets is pressing. This talk focuses on the development of statistical and computational strategies for a sparse regression model in the presence of mixed signals. The existing estimation methods have often ignored contributions from weak signals. However\, in real scenario many predictors altogether provide useful information for prediction\, although the amount of such useful information in a single predictor might be modest. The search for such signals\, sometimes called networks or pathways\, is for instance an important topic for those working on personalized medicine. We discuss a new “post selection shrinkage estimation strategy” that takes into account the joint impact of both strong and weak signals to improve the prediction accuracy and opens pathways for further research in such scenarios.

DESCRIPTION:Data Science was hot a few years ago. It is no longer a hot topic. The tremendous growth in terms of using/adopting data science\, machine learning that the scientific community and the industry have observed over the past two years is noteworthy. Good thing is\, statisticians are gradually coming out of their cocoon to experience the new landscape. In this talk\, I will discuss why and how statisticians should take the next steps to learn machine learning before they (statisticians) potentially become obsolete in the industry.

Since the end of the twentieth century\, statisticians are going forward to develop unique working methodology for estimating and testing restricted parameters. This study reviews existing methods and suggests modified maximum likelihood estimator\, modified multivariate t statistic and modified joint confidence interval to get efficient estimates for linear restricted parameters of multivariate regression with continuous responses. A Monte Carlo experiment is conducted to examine relative performance of the modified methods. The proposed methodology has been also applied to detect the numerical nexus among socioeconomic determinants\, food expenditure and total monthly expenditure in “Haor” areas of Bangladesh. The study reveals that logarithm form of total monthly expenditure and food expenditure as multivariate continuous responses are significantly related to total operating land\, logarithm form of family size and total monthly income considering a restriction on the parameters at different level of significance. The modified methods are found to perform significantly better than the existing methods.

Bazlur Rashid\n\nAbstract:\nGlobal Climate Model (GCM) has evolved from the Atmospheric General Circulation Models\n(AGCMs) widely used for daily\, seasonal and long term weather prediction. The most widely\nrecognized application is the projection of future climate states under various scenarios of\nincreasing atmospheric elements. Over the last few decades\, GCMs have been developed to\nemulate the present climate system and to project future climate scenarios. Despite notable\ndevelopment\, GCMs do not provide perfect simulations of reality and cannot provide the details\non very small spatial scales due to incomplete scientific understanding and limitations of\navailable observations in our country. For bridging the gap between the scale of GCMs and\nrequired 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\, precipitation\, wind speed\, pressure and humidity has been undertaken.\nCurrent research in Bangladesh has not addressed thermal comfort under climate change. In\naddition\, current studies for Bangladesh do not look at seasonality clearly. Extreme events\n(rainfall and temperature)\, thermal comfort\, humidity and wind characteristics\, along with\nseasonality\, under future climate in Bangladesh represent a further research gap and opportunity\nfor this research. The main object of study will attempt to find and/or develop efficient statistical\nmethods/tools for climate projection. The specific objectives are (i) to identify suitable model\nwith bias corrections for climate projection using climate model outputs; (ii) to explore the\neffectiveness of the bias correction statistical downscaling method in addressing the model-\nrelated uncertainties involved in future climate predictions; (iii) to identify a suitable\ndownscaling approach for climate model data to allow daily/ monthly or seasonal meteorological\nclimate impact studies; (iv) to develop modify algorithms for quantifying the time-variant\nuncertainty associated with meteorological extreme weather systems and persistent events under\nfuture climate scenarios and (v) to cross check between available statistical downscaling\ntechniques for future climate projections and scenarios generation over Bangladesh. So\, GCM\ninformation can be enhanced for better representation of the conditions in specific places by\nusing historically observed local climate information from weather stations. Statistical\nDownscaling of climate model can include independent components of climatic signals like El\nNino-Southern Oscillations (ENSO)\, Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) and Pacific Decadal\nOscillations (PDO) for a long-lead weather forecast. So\, this information can also be used to\nimprove the future climate projections to assess potential impacts and guide climate-smart\ndecisions about climate resilience in Bangladesh.
