Sprints

In our sprints we were organised into groups and for each of the 4 weeks given an introduction into a novel research area within Statistics and Operations Research. We then spent the remainder of the week producing a presentation on the weeks particular area. You may find each weeks presentation below:

Sprint 1 – Stochastic Optimisation
Sprint 2 – MCMC
Sprint 3 – Change Points
Sprint 4 – Decision Making Under Uncertainty

Research Topic

At the start of the second semester we attended a number of ‘Research Topic’ talks by staff across the Management School and Mathematical Sciences departments. We then had to pick two of the topics that were covered and write two reports on them. The shorter of the two – RT1, is 8 pages long and is on ‘State Space Models’. The second report – RT2 is a 16 page read on quite a niche area: Behavioural Operations. You will find a link to both of these reports below.

RT1 – Modelling Dynamical Systems
RT2 – Systems Dynamics applied to Behavioural Operations
