All those “accessibility encounters” of mine left me with a pile of unstructured notes and advice to my self to which I often refer. Well, I decided to blog about parts of it in case anyone else finds it useful. http://www.ikosmidis.com/post/news-brquasi-eRum2020/ Wed, 10 Jun 2020 00:00:00 +0000 http://www.ikosmidis.com/post/news-brquasi-eRum2020/ On 19 June 2020, I will be giving a talk at the eRum2020 conference titled “brquasi: Improved quasi-likelihood estimation”. The talk is about the brquasi R package, which provides a glm method for improving bias in quasi likelihood estimation. That package is a spin-off of theoretical work with Nicola Lunardon on methods for reduced-bias M-estimation in general that require neither re-sampling (like the bootstrap does) nor full knowledge of the underlying distribution of the data (like other higher-order asymptotic methods do). http://www.ikosmidis.com/post/news-detectseparation-march-2020/ Thu, 26 Mar 2020 00:00:00 +0000 http://www.ikosmidis.com/post/news-detectseparation-march-2020/ detectseparation provides pre-fit and post-fit methods for detecting separation and infinite maximum likelihood estimates in generalized linear models with categorical responses. Pre-fit methods The pre-fit methods apply on binomial-response generalized liner models such as logit, probit and cloglog regression, and can be directly supplied as fitting methods to the glm() function. They solve the linear programming problems for the detection of separation developed in Konis (2007), using ROI or lpSolveAPI. http://www.ikosmidis.com/post/news-cranly-useR2019/ Sun, 07 Jul 2019 00:00:00 +0000 http://www.ikosmidis.com/post/news-cranly-useR2019/ On 12 July 2019, I will be giving a talk at the useR! 2019 conference titled “Making sense of CRAN: Package and collaboration networks”. The talk is about what my cranly R package can do and how it can help users and developers understand CRAN better and the position of their (intended) packages within it. Update (12 July 2019) The slides are available here http://www.ikosmidis.com/post/blog-workflows/ Tue, 18 Jun 2019 00:00:00 +0000 http://www.ikosmidis.com/post/blog-workflows/ In early 2019, I was invited to give a talk at the Young Researcher’s Meetings of the Department of Statistics at University of Warwick (the place I work). The Young Researchers’ meeting is a weekly seminar for postgraduate students and postdocs to discuss research and exchange ideas. My immediate thought was to talk about one of my current and exciting research projects. Of course, I know from experience that the talks I have given on research projects I am excited about are not necessarily equally exciting for the audience. http://www.ikosmidis.com/post/news-lawald-paper/ Tue, 16 Apr 2019 00:00:00 +0000 http://www.ikosmidis.com/post/news-lawald-paper/ Mean and median bias reduction in generalized linear models appears in Statistics and Computing (joint work with Kenne Pagui E C, and Sartori N) appeared online in Statistics and Computing. http://www.ikosmidis.com/post/news-trackeRapp-is-out/ Fri, 12 Apr 2019 00:00:00 +0000 http://www.ikosmidis.com/post/news-trackeRapp-is-out/ 🏃‍♀️🚴‍♂️🏊‍♀️ The first version of our trackeRapp R package is out! trackeRapp provides the first fully interactive data analysis workflow for your runs, rides and swims!

It is an old idea that after many years going around my head, it seems to be coming close to fruition. This is not the reason I am writing though. Part of that research project involves heavy usage of the Bartlett relations (or Bartlett identities).

I also engage in interdisciplinary applied work of the kind that involves a real synthesis of approaches and has the potential to generate new advances in statistical learning and inference with broader impact. http://www.ikosmidis.com/service/ Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000 http://www.ikosmidis.com/service/ Editorial service Co-Editor (screening) for Biometrika 2026- Associate Editor for Journal of Statistical Software 2011-present Associate Editor for Biometrika 2018-2023 Associate Editor for Statistics and Computing 2013-2019 Membership of professional societies and committees Committee Member for Royal Statistical Society’s Research Section 2021-2026 Committee Member for Royal Statistical Society’s Statistics in Sport Section 2016-2021 Fellow of Royal Statistical Society 2007-present http://www.ikosmidis.com/software/ Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000 http://www.ikosmidis.com/software/ Software library("fortunes") fortune("statistical thinking") ## ## It is all too easy for statistical thinking to be swamped by programming tasks. ## -- Brian D.

Feel free to contact me directly if you are interested in doing a PhD with me as your supervisor or if you are interested in doing post-doctoral work with me. Please include a CV, a brief research statement, and an outline of the reasons you want to work with me. http://www.ikosmidis.com/talks/ Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000 http://www.ikosmidis.com/talks/ Upcoming and past talks The above map is generated using my semnar R package. Try to interact with it for more details on my seminars and talks and associated materials. Talks on virtual seminar series are marked somewhere in Antarctica, which is somewhere I will, most probably, never go for a face to face seminar. I am keen on giving talks and seminars, especially about new topics I am researching or new software I am developing, and I also love travelling! http://www.ikosmidis.com/teaching/ Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000 http://www.ikosmidis.com/teaching/ Teaching activity APTS: Statistical Modelling Where University of Nottingham, UK | Durham University, UK When 15-19 April 2024 | 22-25 April 2025 | 13-17 April 2026 Level PhD Links Preliminary Material | Notes | Slides: Model selection | Slides: Beyond GLMs | Slides: Nonlinear models | Slides: Latent variables | Assessment On aspects of statistical modelling Where Athens University of Economics and Business When 9-12 April 2025 Level MSc Graduate topics in statistics: Model selection in regression Where University of Warwick, UK When 2nd term of 2024-2025 Level PhD Type University of Warwick module ST925 Links University of Warwick Moodle pages (restricted access) Regression modelling with large data sets Where University of Padova, Italy | Barcelona GSE Data Science, Spain | University of Innsbruck, Austria When 17-18 September 2020 (Padova) | 9-10 May 2018 (Padova) | 18-19 October 2017 (GSE) | 30 January - 1 February 2017 (Innsbruck) | 27-28 October 2016 (GSE) | 12-13 November 2015 (GSE) Level Graduate and PhD Scalable regression: old tricks, new era Where The Alan Turing Institute, UK When 25 May 2018 Level PhD Type Turing Data Science Masterclass Links Information and registration here Topics in statistics: Generalized linear models with large data sets Where University of Warwick, UK When 2nd term of 2017-2018 | 2nd term of 2018-2019 Level Undergraduate Type University of Warwick module ST329 Links University of Warwick pages (restricted access) Linear and generalized linear models Where R Summer School @ AUEB, Athens University of Economics and Business, Greece When 27-30 March 2015 | 23-27 June 2014 Level Graduate Type Summer school Linear models and the analysis of variance Where UCL, UK When 1st term of 2010-2011 | 1st term of 2011-2012 | 1st term of 2012-2013 | 1st term of 2013-2014 | 1st term of 2014-2015 | 1st term of 2015-2016 Level Undergraduate Type UCL module STAT2002/STAT7101 Links UCL Moodle (restricted access) Introduction to practical Statistics Where UCL, UK When 2nd term of 2010-2011 Level Undergraduate Type UCL module STAT1006 Links UCL Moodle (restricted access) Further modelling with applications in health research: Proportional odds models Where UCL, UK When 1st term of 2013-2014 | 1st term of 2014-2015 Level Undergraduate and Graduate Type UCL module STATG021/STATM021 Links UCL Moodle (restricted access) Foundation course: Introduction to significance tests Where UCL, UK When 1st term of 2011-2012 | 1st term of 2012-2013 | 1st term of 2013-2014 | 1st term of 2015-2016 | 1st term of 2016-2017 Level Graduate Type UCL module STATG000 Links UCL Moodle (restricted access) Advanced topics in statistics: Asymptotic statistics Where University of Warwick, UK When 1st term of 2009-2010 Level Undergraduate and Graduate Type University of Warwick module ST414 Links Module materials
