KAUST Ph.D. statistics student Paolo Victor Redondo was selected as a runner-up in the American Statistical Association’s (ASA) Statistics in Imaging Section 2023 Distinguished Student Paper Award Competition
Two new papers accepted to the Extremes Special Issue on the EVA Data Competition:
KAUST Associate Professor of Statistics Raphaël Huser has been awarded the Abdel El-Shaarawi Early Investigator (AEEI) Award 2022 from The International Environmetrics Society (TIES), an association of the International Statistical Institute (ISI).
An asymmetric statistical model provides a better fit for imbalanced data with rare "positives," such as longitudinal health datasets.
New paper accepted: Gong, Y., and Huser, R. (2022+), Flexible modeling of multivariate spatial extremes, Spatial Statistics, to appear [PDF preprint].
New paper accepted: Krupskii, P., and Huser, R. (2022+), Modeling spatial tail dependence with Cauchy convolution processes, Electronic Journal of Statistics, to appear [PDF preprint].
New paper accepted: Zhang, Z., Arellano-Valle, R. B., Genton, M. G., and Huser, R. (2022+), Tractable Bayes of skew-elliptical link models for correlated binary data, Biometrics, to appear [PDF preprint].
CEMSE researchers Matheus Guerrero, Raphaël Huser and Hernando Ombao developed a new approach for analyzing seizures in epilepsy patients by applying extreme value theory to real EEG seizure data.
New paper accepted: Castro-Camilo, D., Huser, R., and Rue, H. (2022+), Practical strategies for GEV-based regression models for extremes, Environmetrics, to appear [PDF preprint]
Spatial Statistics publishes articles on the theory and application of spatial and spatio-temporal statistics. It favours manuscripts that present theory generated by new applications, or in which new theory is applied to an important practical case. A purely theoretical study will only rarely be accepted. Pure case studies without methodological development are not acceptable for publication.
