Very proud to have been given the student nominated "outstanding innovation in teaching" award today 😊

[Len Thomas @len_thom]

Many congratulations to my fantastic PhD student @CallisteFJ who today submitted his thesis on "GPU-accelerated computational statistics in ecology". Way to go, Cal!

[Len Thomas @len_thom]

PhD📢: Fully-funded studentship @univofstandrews "Estimating spatial and temporal patterns in density of harbour porpoises in the North Sea using datasets from passive acoustic ocean observation networks with data flow to EU Digital Twin Ocean database" https://t.co/6xeZr4zraV

Well done Felix!

[Len Thomas @len_thom]

Curious about the use of GPU computing for massively faster fitting of statistical models (especially state-space models)? Nice paper by my fabulous PhD student Cal Fagard-Jenkin, with some "getting started" components. Paper: https://t.co/7CFIlcPVsw Code https://t.co/ZfeFeBGHQ8

@tkypraios @univofstandrews Thank-you for giving such an excellent talk. We very much enjoyed hosting you! 😀

[Theo Kypraios @tkypraios]

Looking forward to visiting @univofstandrews and talking about Bayesian nonparametrics!

[stats-at-StAndrews @statsStAndrews]

Very well deserved recognition to one of our research groups, in inter-disciplinary partnership with colleagues at @SchoolofBiology and @StAndrewsCS. Well done to everyone @CREEM_cake!

[stats-at-StAndrews @statsStAndrews]

Congratulations @EmpacherFa !

[Len Thomas @len_thom]

Congratulations to my fantastic PhD student @EmpacherFa for defending her thesis this week, and thank-you to co-supervisor @KenNewm20028163 of @BioSScotland and @EdinUniMaths for all his help. Go Fanny!

[Théo Michelot @TheoMichelot]

Next week I'll be talking about the R package hmmTMB, and illustrate with analysis of animal tracking data!

Now in Annals of Applied Statistics: "Continuous-time modelling of behavioural responses in animal movement"

We use stochastic differential equations to model baseline behaviour, and detect behaviour change after animals are exposed to human disturbance

Happy Halloween everyone!

Fantastic to see that Jane Wadsworth now has an entry on the MacTutor history of maths website. An inspirational medical statistician who studied here in St Andrews. @StA_Maths_Stats https://t.co/2I2i9licPK

[stats-at-StAndrews @statsStAndrews]

It has been our pleasure today to welcome Prof Colin Torney @UofGMaths_Stats to give the JJ Valletta memorial lecture "From machine learning to migration".
