Petrović Gives Six Invited Talks

Date

Sonja Petrovic, assistant professor of applied mathematics, spoke on “Goodness of Fit for Log-Linear Network Models: Dynamic Markov Bases Using Hypergraphsâ€� at the , Prague Stochastics 2014, in Prague, Czech Republic, in August. That month, she also delivered that talk at the Session on Symbolic/Algebraic Methods in Computational Statistics, Geneva, Switzerland. In October, she gave the invited talk “A Family of Statistical Models for K-Core Decompositions of Graphsâ€� at the special session on algebraic statistics, , in San Francisco. In November, she gave a statistics seminar, “Random Graphs and Networks: Estimation and Modeling Challenges,â€� for the Department of Mathematics, Statistics, and Computer Science at the University of ÐÓ°ÉÔ­´´ at Chicago. She will talk about the “Algebra of Hypergraphs with Applications to Statisticsâ€� at the University of Kentucky in November and “Probabilistic Method for Computational Algebraâ€� at the Foundations of Computational Mathematics, Computational Algebraic Geometry Session, Montevideo, Uruguay, in December.
