Building a Platform for Data-Driven Pandemic Prediction From Data Modelling to Visualisation - The CovidLP Project

Building a Platform for Data-Driven Pandemic Prediction From Data Modelling to Visualisation - The CovidLP Project

This book is about building platforms for pandemic prediction. It provides an overview of probabilistic prediction for pandemic modeling based on a data-driven approach. It also provides guidance on building platforms with currently available technology using tools such as R Shiny and interactive plotting programs. The focus is on the integration of statistics and computing tools rather than on an in-depth analysis of all possibilities on each side. Readers can follow different reading paths through the book depending on their needs. The book is meant as a basis for further investigation of statistical modelling implementation tools monitoring aspects and software functionalities. Features: A general but parsimonious class of models to perform statistical prediction for epidemics using a Bayesian approach Implementation of automated routines to obtain daily prediction results How to interactively visualize the model results Strategies for monitoring the performance of the predictions and identifying potential issues in the results Discusses the many decisions required to develop and publish online platforms Supplemented by an R package and its specific functionalities to model epidemic outbreaks The book is geared towards practitioners with an interest in the development and presentation of results in an online platform of statistical analysis of epidemiological data. The primary audience includes applied statisticians biostatisticians computer scientists epidemiologists and professionals interested in learning more about epidemic modelling in general including the COVID-19 pandemic and platform building. The authors are professors at the Statistics Department at Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais. Their research records exhibit contributions applied to a number of areas of Science including Epidemiology. Their research activities include books published with Chapman and Hall/CRC and papers in high quality journals. They have also been involved with academic management of graduate programs in Statistics and one of them is currently the President of the Brazilian Statistical Association. | Building a Platform for Data-Driven Pandemic Prediction From Data Modelling to Visualisation - The CovidLP Project

Surrogates Gaussian Process Modeling Design and Optimization for the Applied Sciences

Surrogates: a graduate textbook or professional handbook on topics at the interface between machine learning spatial statistics computer simulation meta-modeling (i. e. emulation) design of experiments and optimization. Experimentation through simulation human out-of-the-loop statistical support (focusing on the science) management of dynamic processes online and real-time analysis automation and practical application are at the forefront. Topics include:Gaussian process (GP) regression for flexible nonparametric and nonlinear modeling. Applications to uncertainty quantification sensitivity analysis calibration of computer models to field data sequential design/active learning and (blackbox/Bayesian) optimization under uncertainty. Advanced topics include treed partitioning local GP approximation modeling of simulation experiments (e. g. agent-based models) with coupled nonlinear mean and variance (heteroskedastic) models. Treatment appreciates historical response surface methodology (RSM) and canonical examples but emphasizes contemporary methods and implementation in R at modern scale. Rmarkdown facilitates a fully reproducible tour complete with motivation from application to and illustration with compelling real-data examples. Presentation targets numerically competent practitioners in engineering physical and biological sciences. Writing is statistical in form but the subjects are not about statistics. Rather they’re about prediction and synthesis under uncertainty; about visualization and information design and decision making computing and clean code. | Surrogates Gaussian Process Modeling Design and Optimization for the Applied Sciences
