Chris Browning and Kate Calder on network analysis. The
presentation will include discussion of their current work, and will
also be based in part on the paper: Mark
S. Handcock and Krista J. Gile. Modeling social networks from
sampled data. Ann. Appl. Stat. Volume 4, Number 1 (2010), 5-25. |
| Oct 24 |
Rebecca Andridge on quality indicators in surveys and R-scores.
The presentation will include discussion of her current work, and
will also be based in part on these two
papers, which should be "easy" to read:
|
| Nov 7 |
Bo Lu on dual frame survey sampling. Bo has suggested that you
take a look at:
C. J. Skinner and J. N. K. Rao (Mar., 1996) Estimation in Dual Frame Surveys With Complex Designs
Journal of the American Statistical Association
Vol. 91, No. 433 (pp. 349-356). He says it's a bit on the
technical side, so it's not important to understand everything in
the paper.

Elly Kaizar on Record Linkage. She will be presenting the ideas
in:
Results from simulated data sets: probabilistic record linkage
outperforms deterministic record linkage
Tromp, Miranda; Ravelli, Anita C.; Bonsel, Gouke J.; et al.
Journal of Clinical Epidemiology 64 (2011) 565-572.

Hong Zhu on dependence estimation for bivariate
survival data through Kendall's tau. In addition to her own
research, her talk will be based on the
ideas in: Lakhal, Lajmi; Rivest, Louis-Paul; and Beaudoin, David (2009) "IPCW Estimator for Kendall's Tau under Bivariate Censoring," The International Journal of Biostatistics: Vol. 5: Iss. 1, Article 8. |
