Welcome to my first blog post. Here, I\u2019ll be posting updates on my time at STOR-i. I joined Statistics and Operational Research\u00a0(STOR-i) CDT <\/a>programme in October and would like to share my experience of it so far.<\/p>\n<\/div>

The first six weeks we had lectures covering statistics and operational research in particular in 4 main areas:\u00a0Probability and Stochastic Processes<\/strong>, Inference and Modelling, Stochastic Simulation<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Deterministic Optimisation<\/strong>. \u00a0Despite there being lots to learn in a short space of time, it has been an enjoyable time growing my knowledge in statistics and learning about OR.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The last four weeks of the term we had Contemporary Topic Sprints. We were introduced to a new topic in Statistics\/OR in the form of a long lecture and then split into groups where we presented with a task\/challenge to research and then present by the end of the week. The 4 topics covered were Optimisation under Uncertainty, Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC)<\/strong>, Changepoints <\/strong>and Statistical Learning for Decision<\/strong>. I really enjoyed working in groups and all the topics were interesting hence I am unable to choose which sprint was the best. However, we have a chance to further investigate one, I am currently writing a report as further research into these sprints for MCMC<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That’s the conclusion of my entry to my first blog. Stay connected for upcoming updates on my MRes year! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
