An educational system, the tutor-web (http://tutor-web.net), has been developed and used for educational research. The system is accessible and free to use for anyone having access to the Web. It is based on open source software and the…
A freely available educational application (a mobile website) is presented. This provides access to educational material and drilling on selected topics within mathematics and statistics with an emphasis on tablets and mobile phones. The…
The Committee of Presidents of Statistical Societies (COPSS) will celebrate its 50th Anniversary in 2013. As part of its celebration, COPSS intends to publish a book with contributions from the past recipients of its four awards, namely the…
This paper presents a review of the literature on State Estimation (SE) in power systems. While covering some works related to SE in transmission systems, the main focus of this paper is Distribution System State Estimation (DSSE). The…
Over the last few years electronic learning has been in use mostly by corporate institutes in the form of computer aided instructions and computer based training. The scope of such use has not only been limited to introductory courses for…
A workshop sponsored by NSF C-CR and organized by the Center for Discrete Math and Theoretical Computer Science (DIMACS) was held at Elmsford, New York, January 17-18, 2002 where we had several discussions that gave structure to this…
This is a list of problems that were collected from participants at the Comparative Prime Number Theory Symposium held at UBC from June 17 to June 21, 2024. Its goal is to stimulate research and future collaborations in this growing field.…
We propose a semester-long Bayesian statistics course for undergraduate students with calculus and probability background. We cultivate students' Bayesian thinking with Bayesian methods applied to real data problems. We leverage modern…
Big data are data on a massive scale in terms of volume, intensity, and complexity that exceed the capacity of standard software tools. They present opportunities as well as challenges to statisticians. The role of computational…
We present an overview of current academic curricula for Scientific Computing, High-Performance Computing and Data Science. After a survey of current academic and non-academic programs across the globe, we focus on Canadian programs and…
Over the past two decades, the field of high-dimensional statistics has experienced substantial progress, driven largely by technological advances that have dramatically reduced the cost and effort for data collection and storage across a…
With the prevalence of e-commence websites and the ease of online shopping, consumers are embracing huge amounts of various options in products. Undeniably, shopping is one of the most essential activities in our society and studying…
In a context of ever more specialized scientists, interdisciplinarity receives increasing attention as innovating ideas are often situated where the disciplines meet. In many countries science policy makers installed dedicated funding…
An evolving problem in the field of spatial and ecological statistics is that of preferential sampling, where biases may be present due to a relationship between sample data locations and a response of interest. This field of research bears…
These are lecture notes based on the first part of a course on 'Mathematical Data Science', which I taught to final year BSc students in the UK in 2019-2020. Topics include: concentration of measure in high dimensions; Gaussian random…
Scholarly knowledge graphs are valuable sources of information in several research fields. Despite the number of existing datasets related to publications and researchers, resource quality, coverage and accessibility are still limited. This…
We start by summarising very briefly the various prior attempts (during the last one and half a decade), some of which were made as independent research centres and others as visiting centres with extensive visiting programs for luminaries…
Research methods are essential parts in conducting any research project. Although they have been theorized and summarized based on best practices, every field of science requires an adaptation of the overall approaches to perform research…
The International Symposium on Computational Sensing (ISCS) brings together researchers from optical microscopy, electron microscopy, RADAR, astronomical imaging, biomedical imaging, remote sensing, and signal processing. With a particular…
We introduce a newly designed undergraduate-level interdisciplinary course in scientific computing that aims to prepare students as the next generation of research-oriented computational scientists and engineers. The course offers students…
