- Haihan Yu, “A Composite Empirical Likelihood Method for Time Series in Frequency Domain Inference” (2/24/2023) - When: Mar 3rd, 11:00-12:00 Where: Tyler 053 Zoom link: https://uri-edu.zoom.us/my/guangyuzhu Abstract: Frequency domain analysis of time series is often difficult, as periodogram-based statistics involve non-linear averages with complicated variances. Due to the latter, nonparametric approximations from resampling or empirical likelihood (EL) are useful. However, current versions of periodogram-based EL for time series are highly restricted: […]
- Matthew Wascher, “Monitoring disease prevalence and transmission in a population under repeated testing” (2/24/2023) - When: Mar 2nd, 14:00-15:00 Where: Tyler 053, Zoom link: https://uri-edu.zoom.us/my/guangyuzhu Abstract: In this talk, I will describe a statistical methodology developed as part of the COVID-19 monitoring efforts of The Ohio State University (OSU) and which is designed for monitoring disease transmission using repeated testing data. Under a repeated testing scheme in which individuals who […]
- Xihao Li, “Statistical methods for integrative analysis of large-scale whole-genome sequencing studies” (2/24/2023) - When: Feb 28th, 13:30-14:30 Where: Tyler 049 Abstract: Large-scale whole genome sequencing (WGS) studies have enabled the analysis of rare variants (RVs) associated with complex human traits. There are several challenges in analyzing WGS data, including computation scalability, limited scope to integrate variant biological functions, and lack of ability to leverage summary statistics across multiple […]
- Fei Dou, “Machine Intelligence of Ubiquitous Computing in the Internet of Things” (2/17/2023) - When: Friday, February 24th, 1:00-2:00PM Where: Beaupre 105 Abstract: The penetration of technologies such as Machine Learning (ML), Artificial Intelligence (AI), wireless broadband, and the Internet of Things (IoT) is propelling the rapid adoption of ubiquitous devices across a variety of sectors. However, the enhancement of machine intelligence in ubiquitous computing in the IoT is […]
- Xuhao Chen, “Domain Specific Computing on Graphs” (2/17/2023) - When: Thursday, February 23rd, 1:30-2:30PM Where: Woodward 216 Abstract: Numerous applications in social networks, e-commerce, biomedicine and security, are driven by graph algorithms. The graph data is massive and sparse, which poses great challenges in computing system design. In this talk, I will discuss the approach known as domain specific computing, to address this challenge. […]
