New stochastic model for transmission of banana bunchy top virus calibrated via approximate Bayesian computation. Led by Abhishek Varghese (please follow Abhishek!), and joint with Kerrie Mengersen and Antonietta Mira. @ACEMathStats arxiv.org/abs/1909.02169

Thanks Kerrie! It's been a wonderful experience that has seen me learn a lot. Thanks for your support.

What is ABC? In the world of #statistics, it stands for Approximate #Bayesian Computation. ACEMS' research assistant Abhishek Vargese Abhishek Varghese recently completed a Australian Mathematical Sciences Institute (AMSI) VRES and wrote this blog about what he learned about ABC: acems.org.au/projects/infer… #Bayes #stats

48,000 Australians were hospitalised due to a fall in their residence in 2020. This number is set to increase, as Australia’s population ages. We set out to improve elderly safety, without compromising their independence. More: bit.ly/2UGd3Nr Thanks to: Edge Impulse!
