INTRODUCTION TO STATISTICS: CLASSICAL AND BAYESIANWILLIAM RUTHThe Bayesian perspective is an increasingly popular paradigm within modern probabilityand statistics. This presentation will begin with some elementary probabilitytheory from both the Classical and Bayesian perspectives. Some famous problems instatistics will be introduced and solved using both points of view. Techniques for implementingthese solutions with actual problems will be examined with an emphasison Bayesian methods.A SCHUR-LIKE BASIS IN NSYM AND A RULE OF RIGHT-MULTIPLYING A RIBBON TOTHIS BASISYAN XUWe define a Schur-like basis of NSym by a Pieri’s rule, call Shin-basis. There is a nicemultiplication structure for right-multiplying Ribbon-basis to Shin-basis. Furthermore,based on this multiplication rule, more Schur-like properties can be deduced, such asthe Pieri’s rule of right multiplying by the elementary basis of NSym.COMBINATORIAL ABSTRACTIONS OF THE POLYNOMIAL HIRSCH CONJECTUREYUE RU SUNThe Hirsch conjecture is a conjecture in polyhedral combinatorics stating that thediameter of a polytope is upper bounded by the number of its facets minus its dimension.This conjecture was proposed by Warren M. Hirsch in 1957 and has been recentlydisproved by Francisco Santos; however, whether a polynomial upper bound for thediameter exists is still unknown up to this date; this question is commonly referred toas the polynomial Hirsch conjecture.In this talk, we will briefly look at the history and some known results about thisdiameter problem, then we will concentrate on a combinatorial abstraction of polytopesand prove two best known upper bounds on their diameter using this abstraction.Required Background: basic knowledge of polyhedra, combinatorics and setsA VERY BRIEF INTRODUCTION TO DECONVOLUTION PROBLEMSYVAN LEIt is known that the probability density function of a sum of two independent randomvariables is given by the convolution of their respective densities. Thus, the classof deconvolution problems deal with estimating the density of a random variable ofinterest, given data that has been tainted by a noise variable. This talk presents a verybrief overview of what typical deconvolution problems may be, as well as the twogeneral approaches to solving them - the kernel density estimation method, and thewavelet transform method.49
3 General Information3.1 Opening Banquet - Wednesday, July 10 thThe opening banquet will be held at the Jean-Coutu building, located behind André-Aisenstadt building, at 6:30pm. There is no dress code, just don’t come naked!3.2 Women in Math and Science Dinner - Thursday, July 11 thThe 2013 CUMC is happy to continue the tradition of organizing a dinner for Womenin Math and Sciences. We are proud to welcome panelists from the world of researchin mathematics. The goal is to talk about the place of women in sciences. This will be agreat opportunity for students to learn about the difficulties that women face in sciencesand to know what resources are available for them. After that, already registered studentsand panelists are invited to continue the discussion in an informal setting duringdinner. This year, men and women are welcome to this event.3.3 Closing Banquet - Saturday, July 13 thThe closing banquet will be held in the charming restaurant "Le Cercle", located on thelast floor of the HEC, at 6:00pm.3.4 CUMC 2014 Host BidsDon’t forget that the CUMC is completely organized by students. For next year’sevent, we’ll need some courageous volunteers who will take part of the adventure.We strongly encourage you to get involved in the 2014 organization; we all had a greatorganizing experience.Want to present your university as a host? Take a few minutes to advise your facultydirector and then tell Jean Lagacé (this year’s president) that you want to bid. You haveto place your bid before Thursday afternoon. On Friday at 4:30pm, right after the lastkeynote, we’ll ask you to present your university and yourself to the other participants.Ballots will then be distributed and will be collected at lunch on Saturday, July 13th.The results will be announced at the closing banquet. Don’t hesitate to discuss withus about the organization process; we’ll be happy to answer all your questions!Here are the important dates to remember:• Thursday, July 11 th : deadline to bid• Friday, July 12 th : presentations• Saturday, July 13 th at lunch: votes are collected• Saturday, July 13 th at the closing banquet: announcement of CUMC 2014 HostUniversity3.5 InternetNowadays, Internet is a big part of our lives. There are two ways to stay connected onthe campus.First of all, you must be aware of the Eduroam authentication system. It is a freeway to get wifi connection all over the campus, except for the residences. In order to50
