New single-cell technologies such as single-cell RNA-seq and high-dimensional flow cytometry enable the unprecedented interrogation of single-cell phenotypes (and functions) under various biological conditions. A common statistical problem is the...

**This event has been rescheduled from January 16 to February 7th** A large part of stochastic portfolio theory, as initiated by Robert Fernholz in the 1990s, is concerned with construction of practical equity portfolios that can beat the stock...

Understanding how environmental randomness affects evolution is of fundamental importance for biology. The presence of temporal or spatial randomness significantly affects the competition dynamics in populations and gives rise to some...

Phase I clinical trials explore the toxicity of new therapeutic agents. Phase II trials seek to establish some sign of efficacy. But practical applications vary creating a suite of statistical expressions for these trials’ goals and objectives. There...

The distinguishing number of a graph is the smallest number of colors necessary to color the vertices so that no nontrivial automorphism preserves the color classes. If a graph can be distinguished with two colors, the distinguishing cost is the...

Products of permutations are used to model problems in fields ranging from representation theory and algebraic geometry to topological graph theory. I will show how probability can be used to study such problems, with a focus on how graphs may be...

We introduce a model of a controlled random process. In this model, the vertices of a hypergraph are ordered randomly and then revealed, one by one, to an algorithm. The algorithm must decide, immediately and irrevocably, whether to keep each...

It is well known that a maximal planar graph of order at least 3 is 3-colourable if and only if it is Eulerian. It is also known that if a maximal planar graph of order at least 3 has exactly two vertices of odd degree, then these vertices are...
