1. "Improving" Prediction of Human Behavior Using Behavior Modification

Galit Shmueli (Editor of INFORMS Journal on Data Science and Tsing Hua Distinguished Professor at National Tsing Hua University, Taiwan)

The fields of machine learning and statistics have invested great efforts into designing algorithms, models, and approaches that better predict future observations. Larger and richer data have also been shown to improve predictive power. This is especially true in the world of human behavioral big data, as is evident from recent advances in behavioral prediction technology. Large internet...

2. Statistics, a Matter of Trust

Walter J. Radermacher (President of the Federation of European National Statistical Societies (FENStatS), Director General of Eurostat and Chief Statistician of the European Union from 2008 to 2016)

3. How to Make a Decision Maker Happy

Antje Christensen (Project Director, Novo Nordisk, Denmark, and 2015 ENBIS Best Manager Award Winner)

29/09/2020, 16:15

What do decision makers want from statisticians? What do I want from Stina or David, when I ask them for an analysis? We will have a glimpse into the dreams and headaches of managers, look at a few examples of statistical analyses from the manager’s side, and put them into a context of decision theory.

11. Wiley's Statistics Journals Programme

Stephen Raywood (Senior Journals Publishing Manager, Wiley, UK)

30/09/2020, 15:00

A short presentation on Wiley’s Statistics journals programme. The session will also cover practical ways for authors to maximise the impact of their articles.

4. Personalized Monitoring: Applying Classical Tools to New Data

L. Allison Jones-Farmer (Van Andel Professor of Business Analytics at Miami University, USA)

30/09/2020, 16:15

Industrial statisticians played an important role in the success of the Industrial Revolution. The analytical methods developed in our field have been used to leverage data from machines and workers to improve processes, safety, and products for nearly 100 years. We are now in the midst of the Information Age, and the data revolution brings the challenges and opportunities of our time. Our...
