["Thelma Safadi" <safadi@ufla.br>]

Pessoal,

Na semana de 27/10/08, contaremos com a presenca, na UFLA, do Prof. Chris
Glasbey. Ele
e' professor e pesquisador do Biomathematics and Statistics Scotland (BioSS),
que e'
parte do The Scottish Crop Research Institute (SCRI). Dentre as atividades
desenvolvidas
teremos:

27/10, 9:00h, no DEX/UFLA
Apresentacao do seminario: "Standard errors in systematic sampling"

Abstract:
Systematic sampling is often the most efficient design for sampling a
region in order to estimate the mean value of a variable.
Unfortunately, there is no generally accepted way to estimate the
precision of the estimate obtained from this sampling scheme. Because
the data are essentially a sample of size one, no design-based
standard error can be derived; and the alternative, a model-based
approach, is time consuming to implement and relies on subjective
assumptions that are difficult to validate. We will explore the
problem, using data on acorn counts under an oak tree for
illustration.

** Apos o seminario sera promovido um DEBATE com o Prof. Chris Glasbey, que na
qualidade
de ex editor associado da Journal of the Royal Statistical Society: Series C
(Applied
Statistics), estara debatendo a politica editorial desta e de outras revistas
internacionais de primeira linha, dentre outros temas relacionados aa Estatistica.

28/10, 14h, no DEG/UFLA
Apresentacao da palestra: "Twodimensional generalisations of dynamic
programming for
image analysis"

29/10, 14h, no DEG/UFLA
Apresentacao da palestra: "A statistical approach to image warping"

As duas ultimas palestras acontecerao durante o I Encontro de Engenharia de
Sistemas e
IV Workshop de Laser e Optica na Agricultura.
