PhD Student Symposium: Spatial and Temporal Statistics

Overview

The Spatial and Temporal Statistics Symposium (STSS) will have a focus on spatial, temporal, and/or spatio-temporal applications of statistics. This field of statistics involves analysis of spatial, temporal, and/or spatio-temporal data, which arise in applications in various disciplines, such as environmental sciences, engineering, ecology, epidemiology, and economics. The symposium is open for Honours, Masters, PhD students, academic researchers, and industry professionals, and will have a focus on research students. The schedule will consist of participant-delivered talks organised by themes (e.g., methodology and case studies), along with keynotes, industry talks, mini tutorials, and an open discussion session. The STSS will allow students from many different backgrounds to come together and discuss the similarities, differences, ideas, and innovations surrounding how spatio-temporal statistics can be used in their research.

Goal

The symposium mainly focuses on the development and collaboration between PhD students in spatial and temporal statistics. Specifically, the goal of the symposium is to:

• Discuss recent developments in methodology and applications in spatial and temporal statistics
• Encourage conversation and collaboration between PhD students in the field of spatial and temporal statistics
• Support career development for PhD students

Abstract Submission:

We would like to invite students doing research in spatial and temporal statistics to give 20-minute contributed talks.

Some of the relevant topics are listed below:

• Methods for spatial and temporal data: e.g., geostatistics, point patterns, time series, etc.
• Applications using spatial and temporal statistics: e.g., applications in environmental sciences, ecology, economics, etc.

Abstract submission for contributed talks closes on 29 January 2021
