Pharmacometrics: Analysing and understanding variability and uncertainty in clinical data
Charlotte Kloft, Freie Universität Berlin, Germany 2.28.0.10810:15-11:45
Data Assimilation: Past, Present and Future
Michael Ghil, Ecole Normale Supérieure, Paris, France 2.28.0.10810:15-11:45
We introduce basic ideas and methods of data assimilation in meteorology and oceanography, and illustrate their progress from numerical weather…
more ›On periodic signals in stochastic Hodgkin-Huxley models
Reinhard Höpfner, Universität Mainz, Germany 2.28.0.10810:15 - 11:45
We consider a stochastic Hodgkin-Huxley model where dendritic input -modelled as an autonomous SDE which depends on a deterministic T-periodic signal…
more ›Approximate Kernel Embeddings of Distributions
Dino Sejdinovic, University of Oxford, UK 2.28.0.10810:15 - 11:45
Kernel embeddings of distributions and the Maximum Mean Discrepancy (MMD), the resulting probability metric, are useful tools for fully nonparametric…
more ›Numerical Methods in Visual Computing: what we can learn from each other
Uri Ascher, University of British Columbia (UBC), Vancouver, Canada 2.28.0.10810:15 - 11:45
Visual computing is a wide area that includes computer graphics and image processing, where the “eyeball-norm” rules. I will discuss two case studies…
A review of the Epidemic Type Aftershock Sequences (ETAS) model: 30 years of modeling seismicity
Maximilian Werner, University of Bristol, UK 2.28.0.10810:15 - 11:45
Earthquakes seldom come alone. They occur in temporal and spatial clusters, occasionally preceded by foreshocks, always followed by aftershocks, and…
more ›1st Kalman-Lecture of the SFB
Andrew Stuart, Caltech (California Institute of Technology), USA 2.27.0.0110:15- 11:45
The Legacy of Rudolph Kalman
In 1960 Rudolph Kalman published what is arguably the first paper to develop a systematic, principled approach to the…
more ›Image-based modelling of problems in cell motility
Till Bretschneider, The University of Warwick, UK 2.28.0.10810:15 -11:45
Mathematical modelling has been key to understanding the mechanics of cell shapes and the theoretical principles behind the complex spatio-temporal…
more ›Postponed - Equal-weight particle filters for high-dimensional geoscience applications
Peter Jan van Leeuwen, University of Readings, UK 2.28.0.10810:15 - 11:45
This talk has been postponed- we will inform you about the new date in the Events section.
Particle filters hold the promise of fully nonlinear data…
more ›Piecewise-deterministic Markov chain Monte Carlo
Arnaud Doucet, Oxford University 2.28.0.10810:15 - 11:45
A novel class of continuous-time non-reversible Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) based on piecewise-deterministic processes has recently emerged. In…
