  With a record-breaking 171 attendees in 2019, the annual AMSI Summer School is the biggest national event in Australia for honours and postgraduate students in the mathematical sciences.

  In January 2021 this four-week school will be hosted virtually by The University of Adelaide, providing students from across Australia with the opportunity to develop their mathematical skills, meet like-minded people, and network with potential future employers at the Careers Day.

  AMSI Summer School 2021 offers eight exciting subjects by specialist lecturers from around Australia and students can study one or two subject areas including one subject for credit.

  Honours and postgraduate students in the mathematical sciences and cognate disciplines are invited to register their interest for this event, as well as researchers and professionals who may wish to get involved in the program extras offered at the AMSI Summer School.

  To maximise the students’ experience, the School will feature domestic keynote speakers, researchers and/or lecturers, as well as a number of program extras including social events, a special guest public lecture, a careers session, and a Diversity in STEM panel event.

  SSA is a proud sponsor of this event.

• Deriving Insights from New Data Sources

  • When

  • Location

  One of the major opportunities – and challenges – facing statisticians and data scientists is the diversity of new data sources. These data motivate an expansion of traditional approaches to statistical modelling and encourage new lines of analysis. In this presentation, I will discuss some of our adventures in analyzing and integrating data derived from virtual reality, thermal imagery, satellites and crowdsourcing, primarily in the context of conservation.

  

  Distinguished Professor Kerrie Mengersen,
  Queensland University of Technology, QUT Centre for Data Science and ACEMS

  Dr Mengersen is a Distinguished Professor of Statistics, Director of the QUT Centre for Data Science and Deputy Director of the ARC Centre of Excellence in Mathematical and Statistical Frontiers (ACEMS). Her research interests include Bayesian methods, dealing with diverse and high-dimensional data, and the interface between statistics and machine learning, with applications in a range of areas including genetic and genomic modelling and analysis.

  Develop your online profile, course from Science in Public

  
  

  • Will an online and social media profile help you build your research career?
  • What’s the difference between Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn anyway?
  • How do you use them to promote your work and increase your impact?

  Join us as we show you how to develop your public profile as a scientist using websites, Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn and other social media platforms. This session explores why you might want a higher profile, who your communities of interest are, thinking and working strategically, sharing content, and keeping out of trouble.

  
  

  This course is sponsored by the Australian Bureau of Statistics. Places are free for SSA members or ABS staff, but are limited. ABS employees who are not members of SSA require a booking code to register. Please contact our SSA Event Coordinator for the code.

  Please make sure you attend if you sign up. If you can no longer attend then please let us know so that your place can be given to another member.

  If you have any questions, please contact the SSA Event Coordinator.

  Multiple imputation has become a de facto standard for handling missing data in epidemiological and clinical research. With a combination of lectures and computer practicals (Stata and R), this workshop will cover advanced topics in multiple imputation that are critical in modern research studies.

  Please join us for this series of online, half-day workshops. For further information please contact vicbiostat@mcri.edu.au or series convenor Dr Cattram Nguyen.

  Registration is now open for the Spatial and Temporal Statistics Symposium (STSS) to be held virtually on 17/02/2021 to 19/02/2021.
  

  The STSS is sponsored by MATRIX and AMSI, and is designed to get PhD/Masters/Honours students with similar interests together, although we definitely welcome more senior researchers. The program includes a couple of tutorials, a couple of keynotes, and invited talks from academics and industry professionals, with space allowing for a number of talks from students on the topic. Registration is free and funding is available for post-symposium collaborative projects.
  

  Confirmed speakers as of December 14, 2020 are:

  • Distinguished Professor Noel Cressie, University of Wollongong (keynote)
  • Doctor Andrew Zammit Mangion, University of Wollongong (Tutorial)
  • Doctor Michael Bertolacci, University of Wollongong (Tutorial)
  • Doctor Susanna Cramb, Queensland University of Technology (Invited academic talk)
  • Doctor Petra Kuhnert, CSIRO (Invited industry talk)

  Trialists are increasingly turning to designs that can adapt to internal evidence or emerging external factors as the study progresses. This series of workshops provides a comprehensive manual of "How to implement an adaptive trial"; initially using lectures for a nontechnical overview and later computer practicals in both R and Stata to design and implement a simple parallel group design. There will also be a half day workshop introducing the estimand framework (ICH E9 (R1), 2019), which links the estimates of the treatment effect to the trial's objectives, accounting for events that may occur during the trial.

  We gratefully acknowledge the support of The Australian Trials Methodology (AusTriM) Research Network in delivering this event.

  Welcome to the 
  ANZSC 2021 Conference
  

  The organising committee warmly invites you to the 2021 Australian and New Zealand Statistical Conference, which will take place on the Gold Coast from the 5th to the 9th of July 2021.

  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.

  ANZSC2021 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 2021!
