Seminars

Other UCLA departments frequently hold seminars related to Statistics and of likely of interest to our members. Here are links to UCLA Biostatistics seminars and UCLA Biomath seminars:

How to Unsubscribe from the UCLA Statistics Seminars Mailing List
You may be receiving our seminar emails because you are subscribed to our seminars mailing list (or one of our other mailing lists). You can determine which is the case by looking at the subject line of a seminar email. You may unsubscribe from the seminar mailing list by sending an email to sympa@sympa.cts.ucla.edu with “unsubscribe stat_seminars” (without quotation marks) in the subject field and the message body blank.

Methodological Advances in Non-parametric Spatio-temporal Point Process Models

Posted: November 25, 2019 | 0 comments

Public Affairs Building 1234

Junhyung Park, Graduate Student
UCLA Department of Statistics

With point process data, we are interested in modeling and predicting the occurrence of events, especially those that are clustered and self-exciting. New methodological challenges are posed by the rapid growth in the potential areas of application for statistical point process models. We present recent work on applying point processes to model disease outbreaks and retaliations in violent gang crimes. Some applied methodological novelties for each area are discussed.

Junhyung Park is a fifth year graduate student working under Rick Schoenberg. He has been working on developing applied methodology for point process models. Prior to coming to Los Angeles, he studied economics and mathematics at the University of Virginia and worked as a research associate at the International Monetary Fund. Prior to joining the Statistics Department, Junhyung earned master’s degrees in economics and biostatistics at UCLA.
