The Minnesota Public Health Association was originated in 1907 when health officers around the state organized the Minnesota State Sanitary Conference. In 1947, the Sanitary Conference expanded its membership and changed its name to the Minnesota Public Health Conference. The American Public Health Association officially recognized the Conferenc...

Most analysis methods for nonstationary processes are developed from using the local Fourier transform of the process. Such methods have the theoretical underpinning developed for a number of (overlapping) classes of processes, such as oscillatory processes (Priestley (1965)), and locally stationary processes (Dahlhaus (1997), Silverman (1957) a...

Arctic sea-ice extent has been of considerable interest to scientists in recent years, mainly due to its decreasing trend over the past 20 years. In this talk, we propose a hierarchical spatio-temporal generalized linear model (GLM) for binary Arctic-sea-ice data, where data dependencies are introduced through a latent spatio-temporal linear mix...

Morphogenic pathways such as those implicated in cell migration are regulated in space and time. Often they integrate mechanical signals with long-range effects and chemical signals with shorter range effects. One of the prime challenges in the analysis of pathways is to define the hierarchy and kinetics of signal transduction between spatially ...

Consider the system of reaction rate equations (RRE) describing a chemical network with the reaction rate constants considered to be unknown parameters. The talk shall describe a statistical approach to identifying the 'most likely network' from a given set of RRE coefficient estimates. The idea relies on mapping the estimated reaction constants...

Inferring cause-effect relationships from observations is one of the fundamental challenges in natural sciences and beyond. Due to the technological advances over the last decade, the amount of observations and data available to characterize complex systems and their dynamics has increased substantially, making scientists face this challenge in ...

In recent years, there have been significant efforts to characterize the noise associated with the regulation of intracellular processes. Intrinsic fluctuations are often due to the small number of molecules that govern these processes. However, noise is not always caused by a low number of molecules; the regulatory network itself can cause larg...

Despite its long history, the problem of inferring genome-wide interaction networks from expression data is still relatively unsolved. Experimental methods can at best validate a few biochemical pathways at a time, and are both slow and expensive. Recent advances in whole-genome expression studies hold the promise of enabling the reverse-enginee...

Actively engaging flexible electric loads in power systems operation can reduce the inefficiency, cost, and environmental impact of the system. However, the sensing and communication requirements of many existing algorithms to schedule and control distributed loads are significant, and would be expensive to implement. In this talk I will describ...

Classical time series analysis shows conclusive evidencethat variations in the Earth's orbital parameters arepresent in the geological record of the Earth's climate.The analysis also shows that there is much more to thestory. Some of the open questions concerning the glacialcycles of the last few million years will be discussed.

The study of the spread of influence through a social network has a long history in the social sciences. The first studies focused on the adoption of medical and agricultural innovations, later marketing researchers investigated the 'word-of-mouth' diffusion process as an important mechanism by which information can reach large populations, poss...

Recent presentations of Information Geometry (IG), e.g. Amari and Nagaoka (2000), consider general statistical models and general sample spaces. However, the seminal discussion by Cenkov (transl. 1982) is based on finite sample spaces, as it is in Algebraic Statistics (AS).This talk will first review basic IG from the point of view of AS. In the...

Divergence functions, as a proximity measure on a smooth manifold and often surrogate to the (symmetric) metric function, play an important role in machine learning, statistical inference, optimization, etc. This talk will review the various geometric structures induced from a divergence function defined on a manifold. Most importantly, a Rieman...

The dependence on available information is known to vanish for many `mean field' control problems. We investigate the role that information plays in the fluctuations about these mean field limits. In particular, we show how the fluctuations can be calculated efficiently for discrete mean field control problems with partial information, even when...

We employ an information-theoretic approach that allows for seamless integration of multi-resolution data into multi-scale simulations to upscale/downscale hydraulic conductivity of heterogeneous porous formations. Available data (at either the fine- or the coarse-scale) are used to inform models at the opposite scale by setting a probabilistic ...
