Statistics Seminar - Compositional quasi-likelihood and logit models
Abstract: A composition vector describes the relative sizes of parts of a thing. Some important modern application areas are microbiome analysis, time-use analysis and archaeometry (to name just three). We develop model-based analysis of composition, through the first two moments of measurements on their original scale. In current applied work...

Statistics Seminar - Periodogram regression, a two stage mixed effects approach for modelling multiple integer-valued time series of tropical cyclone frequency
Abstract Tropical cyclones (TC) are significant indicators of evolving climate dynamics. Two primary responses of interest are the cyclone frequency and intensity. In this paper we propose a novel integrated modelling framework for simultaneous modelling of TC frequency across several meteorological regions within Australasia. The key methodological...
Statistics Seminar - Statistical inference for emerging diseases inspired by Covid-19
Abstract (joint work with Prof Frank Ball) The Covid-19 pandemic has transformed the landscape in terms of how mathematical modelling of infectious diseases is viewed both in the academic community and wider population and has provided a stimulus for much research. I will talk about one research direction, motivated by Covid-19. We start from...
