CANCELLED: BC Data Colloquium: Richard Lockart

  • Date: 04/05/2017
  • Time: 15:00
Lecturer(s):
Richard Lockhart, SFU
Location: 

University of British Columbia

Topic: 

High dimensional statistical inference

Description: 

Penalized regression methods permit data analysts to fit models with more adjustable parameters than data points by imposing strong prior assumptions on the relationships between variables. As a result classical tools of uncertainty assessment no longer work. I have been involved in one approach to uncertainty assessment for problems of this sort. I will try to summarize the issues and contrast the current approaches.
