Séminaire sur Improving Statistics and Data Science Collaboration Skills

Vendredi 19 avril 2024 à 13 h, l’Institut de sciences exactes et appliquées (ISEA) de l’UNC organise un séminaire sur Improving Statistics and Data Science Collaboration Skills, présenté par le Dr. Eric Vance, maître de conférences à l'Université du Colorado et directeur du LISA 2020 Global Network. Il présentera son travail portant sur le thème de la science collaborative dans le domaine des statistiques et des data sciences.

Ouvert à toutes et à tous (dans la limite des places disponibles), il aura lieu en amphi 80 sur le campus de Nouville.

Résumé
Collaboration is a necessity for today’s statisticians and data scientists. Based on personal experience collaborating on 500+ statistics and data science projects and helping to create 35+ statistics and data science collaboration laboratories/centres around the world, we developed the ASCCR framework for collaboration to help data scientists learn and teach interdisciplinary collaboration skills. ASCCR stands for Attitude, Structure, Content, Communication, and Relationship. After presenting an overview of this framework, Prof. Vance will describe how it is being used throughout the LISA 2020 Global Network, which is a network of 36 statistics and data science collaboration laboratories in 11 countries in Africa, South America, South Asia, and soon in Indonesia. A current focus of the LISA 2020 Global Network is on forging collaborations between data producers, data analyzers, and data decision makers.

This seminar is based on the papers:

“The ASCCR Frame for Learning Essential Collaboration Skills”

“Building Statistics and Data Science Capacity for Development”

Mots clés : statistics, data science, collaboration, development, developing countries, official statistics

L'intervenant

Dr. Eric A. Vance is an Associate Professor of Applied Mathematics, the Director of the Laboratory for Interdisciplinary Statistical Analysis (LISA) at the University of Colorado Boulder USA, and the Global Director of the LISA 2020 Global Network, which comprises 35 statistics and data science collaboration laboratories in 10 developing countries. He is a Fellow of the American Statistical Association (ASA), an elected member of the International Statistical Institute, a two-time winner (2020 and 2022) of the ASA Jackie Dietz Award for the best paper of the year in the Journal of Statistics and Data Science Education, and the 2023 ASA W.J. Dixon Winner for Excellence in Statistical Consulting. He is currently a U.S. Senior Fulbright Scholar in Indonesia at IPB University in Bogor, West Java where he is researching how to translate the ASCCR Framework for teaching and learning collaboration into Indonesian language and culture and what are best practices for creating and sustaining new statistics and data science collaboration laboratories.
