Upcoming Events

Speaker: Messoud Efendiev, Helmholtz Center Munich and Marmara University Istanbul Title: A Coupled ODE-PDE Model of Invasive Tree Species, and Stability of Steady State Solutions Abstract: I will introduce a coupled ODE-PDE model to study the propagation of invasive tree species in grassland ecosystems. These species, often from the Pinacea family, have had a demonstrably negative impact on...

Speaker: Dr. Geordie Richards Talk Title: On the long-time statistical behavior of solutions to damped stochastic KdV Abstract:  The Korteweg–de Vries equation (KdV) is a nonlinear partial differential equation (PDE) that was derived in the 19th century to describe the evolution of shallow water waves and has since become the focus of a vast literature of research due to its rich mathematical structure and ubiquitous appearance in applications.  We will introduce the damped stochastic KdV, a stochastic PDE obtained by adding noise and a linear damping term to KdV. ...

Speaker: Arvind Shankar, Director, Tiger Athletics, and Data Science Advisory Board Member Title: E-Portfolios with Arvind Shankar    

CANDIDATE: Chong Gan  ABSTRACT:  Mixture regression model is widely used to cluster subjects from a suspected heterogeneous population due to differential relationships between the response and covariates over unobserved subpopulations. In such applications, an important yet missing component of the statistical evidence pertaining to...
