• Webinar: Communicating risk and uncertainty with Sir David Spiegelhalter

  • When

  •  
    7:00 PM - 8:00 PM
  • Location

  The Statistical Society is pleased to announce the following webinar:

  Communicating risk and uncertainty with Sir David Spiegelhalter

  on 3 December 2019 from 7:00pm - 8:00pm AEDT via Zoom.

  About this webinar
  The claim of a 'post-truth' society, in which emotional responses trump balanced consideration of evidence, presents a strong challenge to those who value quantitative and scientific evidence: how can we communicate risks and unavoidable scientific uncertainty in a transparent and trustworthy way?

  Communication of quantifiable risks has been well-studied, leading to recommendations for using an expected frequency format. But uncertainty about facts, numbers, or scientific hypotheses needs to be communicated without losing trust and credibility. This is an empirically researchable issue, and I shall describe some current randomised experiments concerning the impact on audiences of alternative verbal, numerical and graphical means of communicating uncertainty.

  About the presenter
  Professor Sir David Spiegelhalter is Chair of the Winton Centre for Risk and Evidence Communication in the University of Cambridge, which aims to improve the way that statistical evidence is used by health professionals, patients, lawyers and judges, media and policy-makers. He advises organisations and government agencies on risk communication and is a regular media commentator on statistical issues, with a particular focus on communicating uncertainty.
  His background is in medical statistics, and he has over 200 refereed publications and is co-author of 6 textbooks, as well as The Norm Chronicles (with Michael Blastland), and Sex by Numbers. He works extensively with the media, and presented the BBC4 documentaries "Tails you Win: the Science of Chance", the award-winning "Climate Change by Numbers", and in 2011 came 7th in an episode of BBC1's "Winter Wipeout".

  He was elected Fellow of the Royal Society in 2005, and knighted in 2014 for services to medical statistics. He was President of the Royal Statistical Society for 2017-2018. His bestselling book, The Art of Statistics, was published in March 2019.

  Disease incidence estimation in routinely collected longitudinal medical data using time between tests methods Dr Hamish McManus In this seminar Dr Hamish McManus will discuss disease incidence estimation in routinely collected longitudinal medical data using time between tests methods. He will compare several commonly used methods which make limited assumptions about timing of disease incidence between testing intervals and propose an updated method building on these and based on the Poisson-binomial distribution. He will apply this method to the TAIPAN study of HIV incidence in men who have sex with men in NSW and Victoria.   Estimating MIC distributions and cutoffs through mixture models: an application to establish M. Tuberculosis resistance Dr Clara Grazian Antimicrobial resistance is becoming a major threat to public health throughout the world. Researchers from around the world are attempting to contrast it by developing both new antibiotics and patient-specific treatments. It is, therefore, necessary to study these treatments, via phenotypic tests, and it is essential to have robust methods available to analyze the resistance patterns to medication, which could be applied to both new treatments and to new phenotypic tests. A general method will be presented to study minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) distributions and fixed breakpoints in order to separate sensible from resistant strains. The method has been applied to a new 96-well microtiter plate.

  Topic: Nonlinear models of species-environment relationships, with modern tools for misbehaving errors
  

  Abstract

  Species are being destroyed faster than they are being discovered. Despite growing repositories of global ecological data, current models of species' responses to broad-scale spatio-environmental gradients (such as temperature, latitude, depth, nutrients, moisture, or elevation), are either overly simplistic (Gaussian), or they are a "black box" without meaningful interpretable parameters. Furthermore, real ecological data are messy. Raw counts of individuals or biomass from broad-scale field surveys have no upper bound, and typically display large residual variance, over-dispersion and zero-inflation. In this lecture, I will outline a novel class of flexible models that combine new nonlinear mathematical functions for mean species' response curves with an array of modern multi-species distributions tailored to accommodate abundance, biomass or functional traits. Enhancing this even further, we can use flexible copulas to model multi-species associations in either their mean response along a given gradient, or in their (quite disparate types of) error distributions. From coniferous forests on mountain-tops to fishes in the deep blue sea, I will show a variety of key examples to demonstrate how this unique statistical framework can successfully capture and quantify global-scale responses of ecological communities to environmental change. The aim is to provide radical clarity on species' joint responses (through time and space), for important decisions that can change our world.

  The E. A. Cornish Lecture Series
  

  The Statistical Society of Australia, South Australian Branch, inaugurated a series of public lectures on statistical topics of broad interest in 2001. The lecture series has been named to commemorate Alf Cornish, a leading figure in the early years of the statistical profession in Adelaide.

  The lectures are held biennially and presented by eminent statisticians from around the world. Previous presenters of the Cornish Lecture have been Professor Terry Speed on the topic "Gene expression", Professor Adrian Baddeley on "Practical analysis of spatial points patterns", Professor Kerrie Mengersen on "Making decisions based on data", Denis Trewin "Statistical critique of the International Panel on Climate Change's work on climate change", Dr Louise Ryan "Data, data, everywhere!", Professor Peter Diggle on "A tale of two parasites: model-based geostatistics and river blindness in equatorial Africa", Professor Noel Cressie "Statistical science: A tale of two unknowns", Professor John Carlin "Statistics and statisticians in real-world research: science or snake-oil" and Professor Robert Elliott, "New ideas in an old framework".

  Edmund Alfred Cornish (1909-1973)
  

  E. A. Cornish graduated from Melbourne University in 1931 with first class honours in Agricultural Biochemistry, Agricultural Engineering and Surveying. While working as an astrostologist (specialist in grasses) at the Waite Research Institute, a centre for agricultural research and development in Adelaide, he became interested in statistical issues arising in agriculture. His interest in patterns of rainfall and their relationship to the yield of natural pastures continued throughout his life.

  In 1937 he took a leave of absence at his own expense to study statistics with R. A. Fisher in London. On his return, he was appointed statistician to the Waite Institute. In 1940 he was appointed as Officer-in-Charge of the Biometric Section of the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR, now CSIRO) in Melbourne. Under his leadership, the Biometric Section grew, attracting such high caliber scientists as Evan Williams, George McIntyre and Helen Newton Turner. In 1944 the headquarters of the Section was moved to Adelaide and renamed the Mathematical Statistics Section; in 1954 it became the Division of Mathematical Statistics (DMS), with Cornish as its first Chief. Under his leadership DMS grew to 50 staff at his death in 1973.

  During the late 1950s, the University of Adelaide had become aware of the importance of mathematical statistics and appointed Cornish as Foundation Professor of Mathematical Statistics at the University of Adelaide from 1960 until 1965, when his former student Alan James returned from Yale to take over the role.

  While his name is perhaps most often heard in connection with the Cornish-Fisher expansion of quantiles of the distribution of a mean in terms of cumulants, his contributions to statistics and the profession were broad and of considerable significance for the development of statistics in Australia.

  In addition to his early work on rainfall, he published extensively on experimental designs and analysis of experimental data, particularly in the presence of missing values. His work with Fisher led him to a strong interest in fiducial theory. This led him to develop ground-breaking ideas in multivariate analysis, including the development of a multivariate t-distribution to obtain fiducial distributions of multivariate means.

  He was enthusiastic about the use of electronic computers in statistical work, perhaps as a result of his work on climatology, which involved the calculation and modelling of 90585 correlation coefficients. He appreciated early the potential for simulation to answer intractable statistical problems, and promoted the establishment of CSIRO's Division of Computing Research, whose successor, the Division of Information Technology joined with Division of Mathematics and Statistics (DMS) to form the Division of Mathematical and Information Sciences, which currently is known as Data 61 (the largest data innovation group in Australia).

  He was a Fellow of the Australian Institute of Agricultural Science, an Honorary Fellow of the Royal Statistical Society and  Fellow of the Australian Academy of Science. He also served as President of the International Biometric Society and of the Australasian Region.

  Alf Cornish laid the foundations for the strong tradition of experimental and theoretical statistics in Adelaide and it is fitting that his name should be associated with a series that will bring eminent statisticians to Adelaide to support the ongoing strength of the statistical profession here.
