Join us in congratulating Aleksandra Frania, Master in Data Science, on winning the first LSS prize honouring the best internship report 👏👏👏

Her internship report was about advocating the use of causal inference methods in practice.

A big thank you to all three nominees for sharing your enthusiasm for statistics 💐💐💐

The Luxembourg Statistical Society is organizing its first LSS prize ceremony. This event will award for the first time a LSS prize for the best internship report for a master thesis of the University of Luxembourg.

The aim of this event is to reinforce the importance of statistics as an applied discipline and bring people together with a shared interest in applied statistics. It awards the students that did an exceptional work contributing to statistics via their internship report.

When and where? This event will take place on the 31st of January 2025 at 6 pm at Campus Belval (room to be announced soon)
Save the date!

Who are the nominees?

• Aleksandra Frania, Master in Data Science: Causal inference Methods and Tools (Internship done at Goodyear)

• Fatéma Goulamaly, Master in Industrial Mathematics: Predicting the Degradation of Li-ion Battery Using Hybrid Machine Learning and Empirical Methods (Internship done at Siemens Industry Software SAS)

• Rym Kaced, Master in Financial Mathematics: Insurance and ALM: Introduction to Strategic Asset Allocation (Internship done at PWC)

Program:

• 18:00: Welcome words by Christophe Ley, president of the LSS and introduction to the LSS prize by Yves Dominicy, scientific jury president.
• 18:10: Presentations by the Nominees
• 19:00: Jury Deliberation
• 19:15: Announcement of the Winner

If you are interested, please register to this event by sending an email to luxstatsoc@gmail.com.

See you there,

Thank you to all the members that joined us yesterday at the Summer Fest of the Luxembourg Statistical Society - Société Luxembourgeoise de Statistique at Domaine Mathis Bastian (Domaine Viticole).

Special thank you to Pierre Mangers from MANGHINI Consulting for the very interesting talk, and thank you to Annick Bastian for hosting us.

Great atmosphere, amazing location and delicious food!

The network of statisticians in keeps growing - what are you waiting to join us 😉

We are happy to announce that the talk by Professor Masanobu Taniguchi from Waseda University, Japan will take place on Wednesday April 17 at 6.30pm at the University of Luxembourg on the Kirchberg Campus (6, Rue Richard Coudenhove-Kalergi) in the main building, room D10F. The talk will be followed by a drink.

Could you please inform us a soon as possible (if you have not done so already), if you would like to attend the event? (email: luxstatsoc@gmail.com)

The title and abstract of the talk can be found here under.

Best regards,

LSS Board

--------------------------------------------------------

The title of the talk is:

Invitation to Time Series Analysis: Theory ＆Applications

And the abstract is the following:

"In this talk, topics from the elementary statistics to modern new one will be delivered. First, we explain the meaning of mean, variance, deviation, of statistical data. As the theoretical aspect, we introduce mathematical statistics, mentioning estimator, unbiasedness, sufficiency etc. For goodness of estimator, Rao-Blackwell theorem is stated with an interesting episode of C.R.Rao.
Then we explain the elements of time series, feature of financial data, and nonlinear time series models. Their optimal inference is discussed based on LAN structure, and as an optimal estimator, MLE is given. We apply time series analysis for medical data e.g., ECoG, EMG data to illuminate diseases.
Actual data are essentially non-stationary. For such time series, the optimal inference is established. Classification problems are addressed for such data.
We also deal with the problem of portfolio. For this the optimal portfolio coefficients are given by our modern statistical methods.
As an interesting episode, Nightingale’s life will be mentioned. We explain her relationship to statistics and graphical method in statistics.
Finally, Granger causality will be introduced two time series, and we apply this concept for tourism statistics."
