SUMMARY:(Colloquium) Ron Buckmire\, Marist University
DESCRIPTION:Different Differences: An Introduction to Nonstandard Finite Difference Schemes \nFrom Calculus we know that a derivative of a function can be approximated using a\ndifference quotient. There are different forms of the difference quotient\, such as the\nforward difference (most common)\, backward difference (less common) and centered\ndifference (more accurate). In this talk I will discuss several different differences\,\nspecifically nonstandard finite differences (NFSD) that can be used to approximate the\nderivatives that appear in differential equations as a solution technique. Many NSFD\nschemes have been created\, discovered\, and promoted by Dr. Ronald E. Mickens\, an\nAfrican American Emeritus Professor of Physics at Clark Atlanta University\, who has\nwritten more than 300 research articles and a dozen books. I’ll provide examples of\nNSFD schemes that can be used to solve a wide variety of problems drawn from\nseveral different areas\, such as first-semester Calculus\, elementary ordinary differential\nequations\, and more advanced differential equations.

SUMMARY:(Colloquium) Federica Ricci\, University of California\, Irvine
DESCRIPTION:Colloquium Talk\nFederica Ricci\, University of California\, Irvine\nMonday November 18\, 2024 at 4:00PM\nRocky 312 \nTitle: Statistical modeling of sparse networks\n\nAbstract: The study of scientific and social phenomena often requires modeling data in the form of networks\, i.e. the set of interactions between entities like proteins\, neurons or people. Statistical models provide ways to address important questions\, including why some entities are connected but not others\, and whether there are interactions that have not been observed. In this talk\, I will present my work on developing a class of models that can discover an unobserved set of clusters (or communities) among interacting entities and that can learn the number of clusters from data. Unlike previous approaches with those properties\, the proposed framework can model sparse networks. Capturing sparsity is especially important when dealing with large networks: for example\, in online social networks\, someone’s connections grow much slower than linearly with the number of users. I will summarize a posterior-inference method based on Markov Chain Monte Carlo and I will show the advantages of this approach on a set of social and biological networks.

SUMMARY:(Colloquium) Jeff Goldsmith\, Columbia University
DESCRIPTION:Wearable Devices in Public Health Research \nFriday\, October 4th at 4pm in Rocky 310 \nIn the last ten years\, technological advances have made many activity- and physiology-monitoring wearable devices available for use in both clinical trials and large-scale epidemiological studies. This trend will continue and even expand as devices become cheaper and more reliable. These developments open up a tremendous opportunity for clinical and public health researchers to collect critical data at an unprecedented level of detail\, while posing new challenges for statistical analysis of rich\, complex data. This talk will present a collection of examples and analysis approaches that use accelerometer data\, including activity classification; identifying and interpreting variability in activity trajectories; building regression models in which activity trajectories are the response; and understanding shifts in the circadian rhythms that underlie the timing of activity. We’ll draw on several applications\, including the Baltimore Longitudinal Study of Aging and data collected through the Columbia Center for Children’s Environmental Health.
