Hi All,
I'm very excited for the Applied Stats workshop this semester! We'll be kicking things off on Wednesday, September 4th at noon in CGIS K354<http://map.harvard.edu/?bld=04471&level=9>. As per usual, lunch will be served.
At this first meeting we'll be hearing from Scott Linderman from SEAS. Scott will be speaking on discovering latent network structure from spiking data using Hawkes processes. Examples of this include: recovering neural connectivity from electrophysiological recordings; discovering interactions between stocks on the S&P 100; and identifying patterns in homicide data from Chicago. Check out Scott's work at http://people.seas.harvard.edu/~slinderman/<http://people.seas.harvard.edu/%7Eslinderman/>.
You can also check out the rest of our fall line-up at http://projects.iq.harvard.edu/applied_stats/2013-fall-0. There are still a few spots open (including the second meeting on September 11th) if anyone wants to present.
I look forward to seeing you all on Wednesday!
Tess

Dear all,
I hope everyone has had a relaxing summer and is enjoying what’s left of it! I am the new graduate student coordinator for the Applied Statistics Workshop (Gov 3009) at IQSS and would like to invite all of you to attend the workshop. The workshop features a multidisciplinary forum for presenting research with statistical innovations and applications. Starting with Wednesday, Sept. 4, we will meet every Wednesday from 12-1:30 pm in CGIS-Knafel 354 (1737 Cambridge Street). As always, lunch will be provided.
Please note that you don’t have to formally enroll in the workshop to attend. The schedule for the semester is available here: http://www.iq.harvard.edu/events/node/1208. Furthermore, if you would like your name to be added to the mailing list, please let me know. Finally, there are a few presentation spots available towards the latter end of the semester as well as the second meeting (Sept. 11). Please contact me if you are interested in presenting.
Thank you,
Tess
