Conference: EnviBayes Workshop on Complex Environmental Data

该研讨会名为“复杂环境数据的EnviBayes研讨会”，将于2023年9月18日至20日在科罗拉多州柯林斯堡举行。环境和生态数据往往复杂多样。这种复杂性可能来自复杂的数据生成机制，例如在生态研究中存在许多相互作用的物种，或者来自结构依赖性，例如空气污染测量在空间和时间上的相关性。因此，对环境和生态数据集的分析可能需要专门的统计和计算工具来适当地捕捉和解释其复杂性。虽然生态和环境统计群体并不大，但它很容易在每个各自的子群体中变得孤立。然而，针对一种依赖关系（和数据）的建模方法和工具的进步通常可以有效地扩展到另一种依赖关系，并对多个应用程序领域产生重大影响。因此，它可以使从事环境和生态数据不同方面工作的统计学家相互交流，在我们的子社区中传播知识，以促进所有学科的进步。研讨会将有以下主要目标：i)为环境和生态统计领域的分社区提供一个场所，在他们自己的网络中分享最新的进展，以进一步激发更深层次的知识收获；Ii)在子社区之间转移知识并促进合作。EnviBayes复杂环境数据讲习班的方案包括：i)环境卫生和流行病学；ii)遥感数据；iii)时空依赖性模型；iv)多元极值和空间极值；v)利用气候模式预测未来极端事件；vi)动物运动和数量模型；vii)与复杂计算机模型相关的统计推断。该项目将鼓励研究生、早期职业研究人员和统计学中代表性不足的群体成员的参与。有关研讨会的更多细节可在以下网址找到：https://statistics.colostate.edu/envibayes-workshop/.This该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，认为值得支持。

This workshop titled "EnviBayes Workshop on Complex Environmental Data" will be held in Fort Collins, Colorado on September 18-20, 2023. Environmental and ecological data are often complex and diverse. This complexity may arise from intricate data-generating mechanisms, such as the presence of many interacting species in an ecological study, or from structural dependence, such as correlation in space and time of air pollution measurements. As such, analysis of environmental and ecological datasets may require specialized statistical and computational tools to appropriately capture and account for the complexity. While the ecological and environmental statistics community is not large, it is easy to become siloed in each of the respective sub-communities. However, the advances in modeling approaches and tools for one type of dependence (and data) can often be usefully extended to another type of dependence and have a large impact on multiple application areas. It can therefore benefit statisticians working with different facets of environmental and ecological data to interact with each other to propagate knowledge among our sub-communities for the increased advancement of all disciplines. The workshop will have the following major aims: i) to provide sub-communities within environmental and ecological statistics with a venue to share cutting-edge advancements within their own networks to further spark deeper knowledge gains; ii) to transfer knowledge between sub-communities and foster collaboration.The program of the EnviBayes Workshop on Complex Environmental Data includes: i) Environmental Health and Epidemiology; ii) Data from Remote Sensing; iii) Models for Spatial and Temporal Dependence; iv) Multivariate and Spatial Extremes; v) Using Climate Models to Project Future Extremes; vi) Models for Animal Movement and Abundance; vii) Statistical Inference Related to Complex Computer Models. This project will encourage the participation of graduate students, early-career researchers, and members of groups under-represented in statistics.
