  • Statistics Seminar: Calibration Weighting-Style Diagnostics for Nonlinear Bayesian Hierarchical Models

    Presenter: Dr. Ryan Giordano, UC Berkeley Statistics Description: Multilevel Regression with Post-stratification (MrP) has become a workhorse method for estimating population quantities using non-probability surveys, and is the primary alternative to traditional survey calibration weights, e.g.~ as computed by raking. For simple linear regression models, MrP methods admit “equivalent weights”, allowing for direct comparisons between MrP and traditional calibration weights (Gelman 2006). In the present work, we develop a more general framework for computing and interpreting “MrP local equivalent weights” (MrPlew), which admit direct comparison with calibration weights in terms of important diagnostic quantities such as covariate balance, frequentist sampling […]

  • AM Seminar: Genetically Admixed Groups as a Laboratory for Mathematical Modeling and Discovery

    Jack Baskin Engineering Baskin Engineering 1156 High Street, Santa Cruz, CA

    Presenter: Dr. Aw, Department of Genetics, University of Pennsylvania Description: Admixed groups consist of individuals descended from two or more historically separated ancestral populations, and they are underrepresented in biomedical studies. Admixed individuals are unique in that they carry mosaics of ancestral segments within their genome, so their genetic information is typically summarized as a pair of genotype and local ancestry data matrices. I will present two research projects on admixed groups: one applying statistical models to study genetic architecture and polygenic risk, and another using biomedical data analysis to motivate combinatorial and probabilistic questions. In the “math to genetics” […]

  • Castello, J. (CSE) – Space Mission Simulation From the Outside In

    Engineering 2 Engineering 2 1156 High Street, Santa Cruz, CA
    Hybrid Event

    Robotic space missions often use discrete event simulation to reduce risk in operation. A simulation applies a set of planned activities to a model of mission resources, and the model’s observed behavior is used to predict real-world outcomes. However, logically concurrent activities are typically simulated under one possible linearization of their events – an order that may not reflect the eventual reality. Some simulation systems provide mechanisms for controlling the order of events; but this is a solution to a self-imposed problem. We instead question the assumption causing this problem: that events are totally ordered to begin with. We study […]
