Numerical Analysis Seminar Time: 3:00PM – 4:00PM Location: BLOC 628 Speaker: Diane Guignard, TAMU Title: A posteriori error estimation for PDEs with random input data Abstract: In this talk, we perform a posteriori error analysis for partial differential equations with uncertain input data characterized using random variables. Considering first small uncertainties, we use a perturbation approach expanding the solution of […]
Date: Tuesday, March 8, 2016 Time: 3:00pm – 4:00pm Room: Blocker 506A Speaker: Dr. Anthony J. Mulholland (University of Strathclyde) Title: Theoretical Modelling of the Collapse of a Shelled Ultrasound Contrast Agent for use in the Treatment of Cancer Abstract: Premanufactured shelled microbubbles composed of a protein shell are currently licensed as ultrasound imaging […]
April 24, 2014 Dr. Mohsen Pourahmadi Professor Department of Statistics, Texas A&M University Title: Thresholded Generalized Principal Component Regression: Forecasting with Many Predictors Abstract: Multiple time series, panel data and many other modern data matrices have dependence in their rows and columns, and the classical principal component analysis for low-rank approximation of such data matrices does not […]
April 8, 2014 Dr. Xinyu Zhang Visiting Scholar, Department of Statistics, Texas A&M University Title: An Overview of Frequentist Model Averaging Abstract: Model selection forces us to “putting all our inferential eggs in one unevenly woven basket” (Longford, 2005). Model averaging is an alternative to model selection and often reduces the risk in […]
April 15, 2014 Dr. Mikyoung Jun Professor of Statistics, Texas A&M Title: A class of Matern-like covariance functions for smooth processes on a sphere Abstract: There have been noticeable advancements in developing parametric covariance models for spatial and spatio-temporal data with various applications to environmental problems. However, literature on covariance models for processes […]
