      Speaker: Claire Clarke

      Title: Conditional selection for sample coordination

      Abstract: Sample coordination is the management of the selection of many samples, including rotating panel surveys, from the same population without overburdening that population. In the design-based framework used by many statistical agencies all units must have a known probability of selection to avoid bias. Avoiding (or returning to) a previously selected unit under this condition can be difficult, and becomes more difficult as the number of surveys becomes larger. The ABS is in the process of adopting a new method for sample coordination called 'Conditional Selection'. This method performs sample coordination at the unit level (where current practices coordinate samples only at the stratum level, with obvious deficiencies), and allows considerably more flexibility in sample design. In this talk I will outline the basic principles of conditional selection, and touch on some of the recent innovations we have developed to expand the method.

      Biography: Claire Clarke has an honours degree in theoretical physics from the University of Adelaide and has worked in the Methodology Division of the Australian Bureau of Statistics for 18 years. In that time, she has worked on problems that include sampling rare populations, statistical quality control, and dealing with missing data.

      TITLE: Statistical Modelling to Support Successful Mosquito Biocontrol Programs

      Dr Dan Pagendam, Senior Research Scientist, CSIRO Data61


      ABSTRACT: Aedes aegypti is a mosquito, originating from Africa but now ubiquitous across many of the tropical and subtropical regions of the world. This small insect is responsible for vectoring several life-threatening viruses including Zika, Dengue and Chikungunya, and consequently it is regarded as a serious threat to public health. In recent years, a number of biocontrol strategies have shown great promise for either suppressing Ae. Aegypti populations or blocking the disease vectoring capability of the mosquito completely. A popular suppression strategy is the Sterile Insect Technique (SIT), which involves rearing and releasing large numbers of sterile male mosquitoes into the wild population, effectively reducing the number of viable offspring produced per mated female. Repeated release of sterile male insects has proven to be effective for complete eradication of some insect pests (e.g., the screw-worm fly in North America).

      In this talk, I will discuss the role of statistics in the Debug Innisfail project and how stochastic and statistical modelling underpinned a successful mosquito suppression program in Innisfail, Queensland over the summer of 2017/18.  In particular, I will discuss : (i) the use of physically motivated statistical models for mosquito dispersal in urban landscapes; (ii) the use of Markov Population processes for SIT program design; and (iii) how R Shiny can be used as a collaborative tool for geographically isolated teams.

      BIOGRAPHY: Dan is a senior research scientist at CSIRO Data61 where he works on problems at the interface of the environmental sciences and statistics.  Dan holds a Bachelor of Environmental Science in Ecology, a Master of Science in Statistics and Doctor of Philosophy in Mathematics and Statistics.  Dan’s main research interests are in stochastic modelling, Bayesian statistics and the use of machine learning methods for model emulation.  In recent years, Dan has been part of multidisciplinary project teams that won the CSIRO Impact from Science medal (2017) and the CSIRO Chairman’s Award (2018).

    • Spatio-Temporal Statistics with R

      • 29 Apr 2019
      • 8:40 AM
      • 30 Apr 2019
      • 12:30 PM
      • Sydney Business School, University of Wollongong Gateway Building Level 10, 1 Macquarie Place, Circular Quay, Sydney

      A 1.5 Day Workshop in Sydney presented by Noel Cressie and Andrew Zammit Mangion, (NIASRA, UOW)

      Good scientific data collection involves a protocol that specifies where (i.e., spatial locations) and when (i.e., temporal instants) measurements are taken. Scientists want to answer “why” questions, and often space and time play critical roles. This workshop offers an intermediate-level and hands-on introduction to spatio-temporal statistical modelling with R, using case studies drawn from the environmental and ecological sciences.

      The Course

      This 1.5-day workshop is based on the book by Wikle, Zammit-Mangion, and Cressie, Spatio-Temporal Statistics with R, published in 2019 by Chapman & Hall/CRC Press and freely available for download from https://spacetimewithr.org . It considers a systematic approach to analysing spatio-temporal data, with a particular emphasis on hierarchical (empirical and Bayesian) statistical modelling. The course, which is endorsed as an activity of the Environmental Statistics Section of the Statistical Society of Australia (SSA), will cover the following topics in spatio-temporal statistics:

      • Key concepts of hierarchical modelling; overview of requisite background in spatial statistics.
      • Data wrangling with spatio-temporal data.
      • Spatio-temporal data classes in R.
      • Visualisation of spatio-temporal data using lattices and grammar of graphics.
      • EDA for spatio-temporal data (including visualisation and empirical dimension-reduction) in R.
      • Standard statistical models for spatio-temporal data.
      • Covariance functions and spatio-temporal kriging in practice.
      • Rank-reduced spatio-temporal modelling approaches.
      • Dynamic spatio-temporal modelling.

      A sizeable portion of the workshop is hands-on. Participants are required to bring their own laptop with R, v3.3 or higher, installed. A list of required packages will be sent to the attendees prior to the workshop. Participants will receive a printed copy of the slides used in the presentations.

      Target Audience

      This course is aimed at researchers and students with a Bachelor-level understanding of probability, statistical inference, and matrix algebra. Basic fluency in R will be assumed.

    • SSA-Event: Fast algorithms and modern visualisations for feature selection

      • 16 May 2019
      • 9:00 AM - 4:30 PM
      • UNSW Sydney, Kensington
      • 7 registrants
      Register

      This short course focuses on model selection techniques for linear and generalised linear regression in two scenarios: when an extensive search of the model space is possible as well as when the dimension is large and either stepwise algorithms or regularisation techniques have to be employed to identify good models. We incorporate recent research on graphical tools for model choice and on how to tune regularisation procedures, such as the Lasso through resampling or model selection criteria. Importantly, the limitations of the various model selection procedures will be discussed. A key component of the course is assessing the stability of selected components which is paramount for reliable predictive final models. We show how this can be achieved through visualizing measures of stability.

      The practical implementation of the discussed methods is an essential component of this course. Interactive labs will give participants the opportunity to apply what they have learnt. We will use the cross-platform, open-source software R, in particular the leaps, bestglm, glmnet and the mplot packages.

      Part 1: Exhaustive model searching with leaps and bestglm packages.

      Part 2: Penalised regression methods as fast alternatives when exhaustive search is not possible. An introduction to cross-validation for model selection and the glmnet package.

      Part 3: Assessing stability in model selection by bootstrapping regression models and visualising the results using advanced graphics with the mplot package.

      Learning Objectives
      The aim of all analyses is to use the data and, if available, information about its generating process, to construct statistical models which parsimoniously describe relevant and important features in the data. Too often in applied statistics, model selection is based on outdated methods, for example stepwise techniques. This workshop will highlight the limitations of established model selection methods and showcase more recent approaches for selecting with a focus on selecting a stable model.

      Target Audience
      Statistical model building is a fundamental part of many statistical analyses and will be of potential interest to anyone who wants to learn how to better select such models with increasingly high-dimensional and complex data.

      Welcome to the ANZSC 2020 Conference

      The organising committee warmly invites you to the 2020 Australian and New Zealand Statistical Conference, which will take place on the Gold Coast from the 6th to the 10th of July 2020.

      This conference brings together four leading statistical communities in the region – the Statistical Society of Australia, the New Zealand Statistical Association, the International Institute of Business Analysis (Special Interest Group for Business Analytics), and the Australian Conference on Teaching Statistics.

      The aim of this conference is to bring together a broad range of researchers and practitioners across a variety of statistical disciplines to facilitate the exchange of theory, methods and applications.

      With these four societies working together there will be strong program components of interest to a wide diversity of academic, government, and industry colleagues. This includes the full spectrum of delegates from those advancing theoretical methodology to those working on industry applications (in traditional and non-traditional statistical areas). Of particular interest is how Big Data continues to impact all of us.

      Information on Keynote Speakers and the Conference program will be available shortly so watch this space for updates.

      The conference will be held at the Gold Coast Convention and Exhibition Centre (GCCEC) situated in the heart of the Gold Coast. From GCCEC, Surfers Paradise (the social hub of the Gold Coast) is 5km to the North, the Star Casino and Pacific Fair are immediately to the South (the largest regional shopping and dining destination in Queensland), the beach (Broadbeach) is just ten minutes walk, and the Broadbeach restaurant complex is immediately to the East (short 5 minutes walk). Social tours can easily be made to the rainforest (such as Tambourine National Park and World Heritage-listed Lamington National Park), to places of Aboriginal Indigenous significance, to Stradbroke Island, and to Australia’s greatest theme parks.

      ANZSC2020 promises to be a truly amazing experience on both a professional and a social level.

      Please check out the official conference website and register your interest here.

      We look forward to seeing you on the Gold Coast in 2020!
