SUMMARY:R Shiny app for the beginners
DESCRIPTION:Title: “R Shiny app for the beginners” \nSpeaker: Nabil Awan\, Assistant Professor (on leave)\, ISRT\, DU and PhD candidate at the Deltin 7 Aviator গেম টাকা ইনকাম of Pittsburgh\, USA. \nDate & Time: Sunday\, July 26\, at 7.30PM \n  \nSuumary: R Shiny app is getting increasingly popular in both industry and academia. 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.

SUMMARY:Introduction to Deep Neural Network using R
DESCRIPTION:Title: “Introduction to Deep Neural Network using R” \n  \nSpeaker: Tuhin Sheikh\, ISRT\, Deltin 7 Aviator গেম টাকা ইনকাম of Deltin 7 bangladesh \nand PhD candidate at the Deltin 7 Aviator গেম টাকা ইনকাম of Connecticut\, USA\, \n  \nDate and Time: Sunday\, June 28\, 2020 at 9.00AM \n  \n—————————–Summary———————————————— \nThe deep neural network (DNN) modelling has been considered to be a thriving topic in recent years. 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.

SUMMARY:Big Data Analytics: Wisdom or Folly!
DESCRIPTION:Title: Big Data Analytics: Wisdom or Folly! \n\nTime and venue: 11:30 am on 3rd of February (Monday) 2020 in ISRT Seminar Room\n\nSpeaker: Ejaz Ahmed\, PhD Professor at Brock Deltin 7 Aviator গেম টাকা ইনকাম\, Canada\n\nAbstract:\n\nThere are hosts of buzzwords in today’s data-centric world\, and especially in digital and print media. 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.

SUMMARY:Is Data Science the next step for the Statisticians?
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.

DESCRIPTION:Title: Modified Inferential Methods on Restricted Parameters in Multivariate Regression Analysis: Applications in Socio-demographic Research\n\nSpeaker: Sheikh Mohammad Sayem\, PhD researcher at ISRT\, DU\n\nAbstract:\n\nEfficient and significant empirical estimate of the multivariate regression parameters will be helpful for the policymaker to make the right decisions about sophisticated interrelated issues in the dynamic world. 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.

DESCRIPTION:Title: Improved Statistical Approach for Climate Projection over Bangladesh using Downscaling of Global Climate Model (GCM) Outputs\n\nSpeaker: Md. 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.

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.

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.
