Recording (Statistical) Errors in Baseball by Dr. Katy McKeough, Tuesday December 5th, 1:10pm – Mathematics & Statistics
Title: Recording (Statistical) Errors in Baseball by Dr. Katy McKeough Abstract: Understanding uncertainties from statistical and machine learning models is crucial in making informed, data-based decisions in sports analytics. Whether you are assigning value to a player or making recommendations to a coach, it is valuable to quantify and communicate variance around your predictions. This talk will review a way to estimate the uncertainty around a win probability model for Major League Baseball games and show how it can be used to make informed decisions for in-game strategy. Date: 12/5 Tue 1:10pm Zoom: https://williams.zoom.us/j/8294371163 (Stat442 class)
Joint Computer Science + Statistics Colloquium – Mathematics & Statistics
Joint Computer Science + Statistics Colloquium: Mike Baiocchi '03 and Jordan Rodu '05 Tuesday, October 31st @ 7:00pm in Wege ***Stats Colloquium credit for attendance and Spooky Snacks provided!*** Outcome Reasoning: the under-discussed engine powering black box algorithms We’ll start this talk discussing a couple of studies: (i) a randomized trial to evaluate a sexual assault prevention program in Nairobi, Kenya and (ii) a remote detection operation to find and disrupt labor trafficking in the Amazon rainforest. These are both “data science” projects but they are wildly different in how they work. What makes them so different? For a long time in (bio)statistics we only had two fundamental ways of reasoning using data: warranted reasoning (e.g., randomized trials) and model reasoning (e.g., linear models). In the 1980s a new, extraordinarily productive way of reasoning about algorithms emerged: “outcome reasoning.” Outcome reasoning has come to dominate areas of data science, but it has been under-discussed and its impact under-appreciated. For example, it is the primary way we reason about “black box” algorithms. In this talk we will discuss its current use (i.e., as “the common task framework”) and its limitations. We will show why we find a large class of prediction-problems are inappropriate for this new type of reasoning. We will then discuss a way to extend this type of reasoning for use, where appropriate, in assessing algorithms for deployment (i.e., when using a predictive algorithm “in the real world”). We purposefully developed this new framework so both technical and non-technical people can discuss and identify key features of their prediction problem. Mike Baiocchi ’03 Pronunciation: bye-oh-key Professor Baiocchi considers himself an interventional statistician (i.e., grounded in both the creation and evaluation of interventions). He thinks a lot about behavioral interventions and how to rigorously evaluate if and how they work. Methodologically, he…

Interested in serving as a math/stat mentor? – Mathematics & Statistics
Interested in serving as a math/stat mentor? The Math/Stat Mentoring Program pairs first years and sophomores interested in mathematics and statistics with junior and senior mentors who will help them navigate through their academic experience in the department. There is evidence that suggests that having such a mentor relationship is more likely to lead to academic success. We envision that mentoring pairs will meet at least once a month to discuss whatever issues are most pressing for the mentee, for example, getting help in courses, studying for midterms, selecting courses, and more. Please note that a mentor is not a tutor. Each mentee that applies by the initial deadline of September 26th at noon will be paired with at least one, but possibly more, mentors. It's possible, depending on the number of applications, that not every mentor will be paired with a mentee. We will have a training session for new mentors on Tuesday evening, October 3rd. This is a required event, but if you are absolutely unable to attend, please still apply and we will get you up to speed. Link to Apply to Become a Mentor: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdXsR8LpTN7EJJbQdOObszVzyqygw8bY2Hw3et5dcvd8tNiyw/viewform?usp=sf_link

Colloquiumfest and Pizza Lunch on Thursday, January 19th – Mathematics & Statistics
On Thursday, January 19th, we'll be holding our Mathematics Colloquiumfest! This will feature multiple colloquia being presented in parallel sessions both in the morning and the afternoon; see below for the full schedule. For junior and senior math majors, this is a great opportunity for you to get multiple colloquium credits in one day (as many as 6)! There will also be a pizza lunch in the Frank Morgan Math/Stat Library from 11:45am to 1pm, open to anyone attending any of the talks. Here's a detailed schedule, including speakers, titles, abstracts, rooms (all in Wachenheim), and times: 9:30a.m. Room 114 Petros Markopoulos The Axiom of Choice and Equivalent Statements Mathematician Jerry Bona said: “The Axiom of Choice is obviously true, the well-ordering principle obviously false, and who can tell about Zorn’s lemma?” but they are all equivalent statements. In this talk, we will first discuss the statements and some of their consequences and present a proof of their equivalence. 10:15a.m. Room 017 Will McCormick A Hemispherical Basis for Efficient Rendering Reflectance Transformation Imagery (RTI) is a form of texture mapping with the possibility of interacting to change an image’s light direction. This powerful tool has improved the studies of ancient writings, inscriptions, and more. This talk discusses the two algorithms developed for RTI: Hemispherical Harmonics Mapping (HSH) and its predecessor, Polynomial Texture Mapping (PTM). Throughout this discussion, we will uncover why HSH is often preferred in modern-day practice over PTM. 10:15a.m. Room 114 Brandt Mandia Predicting MLB win-loss records by Run Scored vs Runs Allowed Bill James empirically discovered a good predictor of a team's winning percentage is RS^2 / (RS^2 + RA^2), where RS is the average number of runs scored per game, and RA the average number allowed.
