PhD Studentship at Queen Mary University of London

PhD Studentship: Decision Making in Medicine using Bayesian nets.

Applications are invited for a funded PhD Studentship to work in the field of medical decision support. The student will work as part of a successful collaboration between the Risk and Information Management (RIM) Research Group in the School of Electronic Engineering & Computer Science and the Trauma Science group in the School of Medicine and Dentistry, which is developing new tools for clinical reasoning, using Bayesian networks.

PhD studentship in mathematical and statistical neuroscience at the University of Exeter

A fully funded PhD studentship is available to work with Professor John Terry and Dr Daniel Williamson (University of Exeter). The project has two main aims. The first aim is to understand the relationship between numerical continuation, a technique for mapping out paths of bifurcations in parameter space, and statistical methods in Uncertainty Quantification (UQ) such as emulation and history matching, that can be used to map these paths probabilistically. To achieve this we will start from normal forms of co-dimension one bifurcations and build up to nonlinear models with many parameters and complex bifurcation structures. Through studying and comparing both methods in low dimensional cases where numerical continuation is computationally expensive, we then aim to adapt the UQ methods in order to map paths of bifurcations probabilistically in high dimensional parameter spaces where UQ can efficiently operation but where continuation is infeasible. The second aim is to apply this understanding to make patient specific predictions regarding treatment options for people with epilepsy through fusing mathematical models with clinical datasets recorded using EEG.  

PhD studentship at the University of Edinburgh

There is a Ph.D. studentship starting in September/October 2014 at the Operational Research group at the School of Mathematics at the University of Edinburgh on the topic "Mixed Integer Programming techniques dedicated to the robust design of aerospace system architecture". The deadline for applications is 31 January 2014. The expected starting date is September/October 2014 and the duration of the studentship is 3.5 years.

Details on the procedure can be found at http://www.maths.ed.ac.uk/pg/prosp.shtml. For details on the case, please contact Dr Sergio García Quiles (sergio.garcia-quiles@ed.ac.uk).

Bayesian Model Comparison: Conference and Research Volume

Model uncertainty is a key component of statistical data analysis and an integral part in the inferential process. Because theory typically implies a range of possible competing empirical specifications, accounting for model uncertainty is crucial for understanding the processes under investigation, and is a necessary step in interpreting model parameters and performing predictions. Bayesian model comparison and model averaging is an active research area that continues to generate new ideas and innovative approaches.

The aim of this call for papers is to produce a research volume that examines key aspects of modern Bayesian research on model comparison and model averaging. The volume will address important challenges in this area with the goal of improving theoretical foundations and practical implementation.  

Workshop Big data in biomedicine. Big models? University of Warwick

Most statistical methods learn from data using probability models. Now that data has grown to become "big data" and the complexity of the inference is also bigger, should our models grow? If so, which of the old lessons still apply and which need to be revised? The aim of the workshop is to provide a forum to discuss recent statistical modelling strategies to solve complex problems, with a focus on biomedicine, Bayesian methods and high-dimensional inference. Some specifics topics of interest are:

- Prior choice: objective approaches, model separation and the value of informative priors

- High-dimensional model selection, including graphical models and correlated data

- Bayesian non-parametrics

- Bioinformatics and medical applications

El año internacional de la Estadística toca su fin, y empieza World of Statistics.

El año 2013 se lanzó oficialmente el año internacional de la Estadística (Statistics2013) que abordó tres objetivos principales:

- Aumentar la conciencia pública sobre el poder y el impacto de la estadística en todos los aspectos de nuestra sociedad.
- Promover la estadística como una profesión, especialmente entre la gente joven.
- Fomentar la creatividad y el desarrollo de las ciencias de la probabilidad y la estadística

Durante este año, han sido numerosos los eventos que se han realizado con este propósito a nivel mundial como en España. Como ha sido reconocido por comité directivo  Statistics2013, España ha sido reconocido junto a Bulgaria y a México como uno de los grandes colaboradores en el evento.
