Richard McElreath’s “Science Before Statistics: Introduction to Bayesian Causal Inference” Seminar

Hello everyone,
Last May, Statistical Horizons launched its Distinguished Speaker Series, a series of 3-hour virtual seminars taught by some of the most prominent and innovative scholars in the field. On Wednesday, September 25th, Professor Richard McElreath will present Science Before Statistics: Introduction to Bayesian Causal Inference.
In this course, you will discover new causal inference skills for using computational Bayesian models to answer causal questions. Learn why traditional regression modeling falls short and how to analyze graphical causal models to pinpoint both necessary and harmful variables. Professor McElreath will also demonstrate how computational Bayesian models can enhance estimation from finite and imperfect data. This seminar is especially aimed toward those who have tried to understand the connections between causal inference and statistical inference but were discouraged by notation and puffery.

Richard McElreath, Ph.D., is the author of the influential book, Statistical Rethinking: A Bayesian Course with Examples in R and Stan, now in its second edition. He serves as Director of the Department of Human Behavior, Ecology and Culture at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, Germany, a department he founded.
This livestream seminar will be held via Zoom from 12pm-3pm ET, but you can also join asynchronously by viewing the recorded video.
Please share this information with anyone who may be interested. Email ashley@statisticalhorizons.com with any questions.
Thanks,
Ashley

Call for chapters for the collective book Artificial Intelligence with Neutrosophic Statistics

 Call for chapters for the collective book Artificial Intelligence with Neutrosophic Statistics from Nano to Nature,
to be published by the international Cambridge Scholars Publishing, UK-USA. 

No publication fees. 
  
We cordially invite scholars, researchers,
academicians, and professionals to contribute to an upcoming edited volume entitled
'Artificial Intelligence with
Neutrosophic Statistics from Nano to
Nature.' This book explores the integration of
artificial intelligence(Al) and neutrosophic statistics, focusing on their applications
across diverse environmental and material data sets, from the nano level to
large-scale natural phenomena.
 
  
***************************************************************************** 
Neutrosophic  Statistics is a generalization of
Classical and Interval Statistics
 
     
While the Classical Statistics deals with determinate data and determinate inference methods only, the Neutrosophic Statistics deals with indeterminate data, i.e. data that has some degree of indeterminacy (unclear, vague, partially unknown, contradictory, incomplete, etc.), and indeterminate inference methods that contain degrees of indeterminacy as well (for example, instead of crisp
arguments and values for the probability distributions, charts, diagrams,
algorithms, functions etc. one may have inexact or ambiguous arguments and
values).  


   For example, the population or sample sizes might not be
exactly known because of some individuals that partially belong to the
population or sample, and partially they do not belong, or individuals whose
membership is completely unknown. Also, there are population or sample
individuals whose data could be indeterminate.


   The Neutrosophic Statistics was founded by Prof. Dr.
Florentin Smarandache, from the University of New Mexico, United States, in
1998, who developed it in 2014 by introducing the Neutrosophic Descriptive
Statistics (NDS). Further on, Prof. Dr. Muhammad Aslam, from the King Abdulaziz
University, Saudi Arabia, introduced in 2018 the Neutrosophic Inferential
Statistics (NIS), Neutrosophic Applied Statistics (NAS), and Neutrosophic
Statistical Quality Control (NSQC).


   The Neutrosophic Statistics is also a generalization of Interval Statistics, because of, among others, while Interval Statistics is based on Interval Analysis, Neutrosophic Statistics is based on Set Analysis (meaning all kinds of sets, not only intervals, for example finite discrete sets). 
Also, when computing the mean, variance, standard deviation, probability
distributions etc. in classical and interval statistics it is automatically
assumed that all individuals belong 100% to the respective sample or
population, but in our world one often meet individuals that only partially
belong, partially do not belong, and partially their belong-ness is
indeterminate. The neutrosophic statistics results are more accurate than the
classical and interval statistics, since for example the individuals who belong
only partially do not have to be considered at the same level as one those that
fully belong.


   The Neutrosophic Probability Distributions may be represented by three curves: one representing the chance of the event to occur,
other the chance of the event not to occur, and a third one the indeterminate
chance of the event to occur or not.


   Neutrosophic Statistics is more elastic than Classical Statistics.


   If all data and inference methods are determinate, then the
Neutrosophic Statistics coincides with the Classical Statistics.


   If all sets that are used are intervals, and all individuals belong 100% to the sample and population, and there is only one probability
distribution curve, then the Neutrosophic Statistics coincides with the
Interval Statistics.


   But, since in our world we have more indeterminate data than
determinate data, therefore more neutrosophic statistical procedures are needed
than classical ones.
 
    Of course, the Neutrosophic DataSets (where the data have some degree of indeterminacy) are used in Neutrosophic Statistics. 
   
     The Neutrosophic Numbers of the form N = a+bI have been defined by W. B. Vasantha Kandasamy and F. Smarandache in 2003 [see
B2], and they were interpreted as:  “a” is the determinate part
of the number N, and “bI” is the indeterminate part of the number N
by F. Smarandache in 2014 [see B3]. For the neutrosophic statistics
“I” is a subset.
 
      Neutrosophic Statistics is the analysis of events described by the Neutrosophic Probability. 
     Neutrosophic Probability is a generalization of the classical probability and
imprecise probability in which the chance that an event A occurs is t% true –
where t varies in the subset T, i% indeterminate – where i varies in the subset
I, and f% false – where f varies in the subset F. In classical probability
the sum of all space probabilities is equal to 1, while in Neutrosophic
Probability it is equal to 3.
 
In Imprecise Probability: the probability of an event is a subset T in [0, 1], not a number p in [0, 1], what’s left is supposed to be the opposite, subset F (also from the unit interval [0, 1]); there is no indeterminate subset I in imprecise probability
[see B9].
 
The function that models the Neutrosophic Probability of a random variable x is called Neutrosophic Distribution: NP(x) = ( T(x), I(x), F(x) ), where T(x) represents the probability that value x occurs, F(x) represents the probability that value x
does not occur, and I(x) represents the indeterminate / unknown probability of
value x [see B3].
