PHYSTAT seminar: From COVID-19 Testing to Election Prediction: How Small Are Our Big Data?
Wednesday 7 Jul/21 15:00 -16:00 (Europe/Zurich) PHYSTAT seminar: From COVID-19 Testing to Election Prediction: How Small Are Our Big Data? The term “Big Data” emphasizes data quantity, not quality. What will be the effective sample size when we take into account the deterioration of data quality because of, for example, the selection bias in COVID-19…

The journey from CERN to something completely different – entrepreneurship in Augmented Reality
Thursday 10 Jun/21 16:00 -17:00 (Europe/Zurich) The journey from CERN to something completely different – entrepreneurship in Augmented Reality Fundamental research has many times seeded giant positive leaps in technology that changed the world beyond recognition, but it usually took a generation-long incubation period from discovery to action. The research process itself, however, regularly creates…

PHYSTAT seminar: USP: an independence test that improves on Pearson’s chi-squared and the G-test
Wednesday 12 May/21 11:00 -12:00 (Europe/Zurich) PHYSTAT seminar: USP: an independence test that improves on Pearson’s chi-squared and the G-test We introduce the U-Statistic Permutation (USP) test of independence in the context of discrete data displayed in a contingency table. Either Pearson’s chi-squared test of independence, or the Generalised Likelihood Ratio test (G-test), are typically…

PHYSTAT seminar: An Overview of Nonparametric Regression
Wednesday 14 Apr/21 15:00 -16:00 (Europe/Zurich) PHYSTAT seminar: An Overview of Nonparametric Regression Nonparametric regression lies in the space between simplistic linear models and opaque machine learning tools. Nonparametric models are flexible, allowing the data to dictate the shape of relationships between variables, but are also easier to interpret, and hence allow for greater insight…
