Advice

General advice 🧐

• We will meet once a week, and the initial speaking order will be: [Pietro, Shakeel, Xuzhi, Zetai, Di, Pouya].
• Every week two people will present, and we cycle through the speaking order using non-overleaping blocks, so the first few talks will be given by: (Pietro, Shakeel), (Xuzhi, Zetai), (Di, Pouya). Once a full cycle has been completed we will randomize the names and start again.
• Certain topics will take more than a week to go through. In this case the second person from the present tuple should let the second person from the next tuple know in advance.

Suggestions for talks 📈

• All talks should be on the whiteboard.
• Start with an accessible introduction.
• Provide one or two applications to common statistical problems.

Suggestions for LaTeX notes 📖

• Notes should be ~5 pages long each week, and no longer than 10 pages.
• Use Pouya’s lovely LaTeX template to write up your notes.
• Start with an accessible introduction to the machinery you will discuss.
• Try to provide one or two applications of the machinery to well known statistical problems.
• If possible possible provide some relatively straightforward problems for readers to try (no no need to provide solutions).
• Make sure to reference thoroughly.
