Spatial data science is concerned with analyzing the spatial distributions, patterns, and relationships of data over a predefined geographical region. It relies on the dependence of observations where the primary assumption is that nearby spatial values are associated in a certain way. For decades, the size of most spatial datasets…

The third “One World webinar” organized by YoungStatS will take place on May 19th, 2021. The focus of this webinar will be on composite-based structural equation modeling, particularly on partial least squares path modeling (Wold, 1982; Lohmöller, 1989) and approaches to assess composite models. The webinar will present some of…

A single most difficult task of a science journal editor is to identify, nurture, and retain talented science writers and reviewers, who could masterfully creatively communicate to science to peers and general audience. The objective of the course is to provide tools and resources to stellar students, young promising researchers,…

Finite population sampling has found numerous applications in the past century. The validity of sampling inference of real populations derives from the known probability sampling design under which the sample is selected, “irrespectively of the unknown properties of the target population studied” (Neyman, 1934). This is the key theoretical justification…

Recurrent event data arise when the event of interest can recur in the same individual during follow-up. Some examples of recurrent events include sequences of hospital admissions, infection episodes, and tumor recurrences. Standard survival analysis methods that focus only on time to the first event cannot capture the cumulative experience…
