    We consider the problem of sequential multiple hypothesis testing with nontrivial data collection cost. This problem appears, for example, when conducting biological experiments to identify differentially expressed genes in a disease process. This work builds on the generalized $\alpha$-investing framework that enables control of the false discovery rate in a sequential testing setting. We...

    Data-driven discoveries are permeating critical fabrics of society. However, unreliable discoveries lead to decisions that can have far-reaching and catastrophic consequences on society, defense, and to individuals. This makes the dependability of data-science lifecycles producing discoveries and decisions a critical issue that requires a new holistic view and formal foundations. Furthermore,...

    While coursework provides undergraduate data science students
    with some relevant analytic skills, many are not given the rich experiences with data and computing they need to be successful in the workplace. Additionally, students often have limited exposure to team-based data science and the principles and tools of collaboration that are encountered outside of school. The DSC-WAV program is a...

    Group testing is the study of pooling strategies that allow the identification of a small set of k defective items among a population of n using a small number of pooled tests. State-of-the-art testing schemes have shown that \Theta(k log n) schemes are both necessary and sufficient for the purpose which provides large gains when k is small (sublinear in n). However, these schemes are not...

    The melting of the polar ice sheets contributes considerably to ongoing sea-level rise and changing ocean circulation, leading to coastal flooding and impacting tens of millions of people globally. However, we are yet unable to accurately predict how quickly the ice sheets will continue to shrink contributing to the sea level rise. In particular, we are still challenged by a limited...

    We study a Weiner process that is conditioned to pass through a finite set of points and consider the dynamics generated by iterating a sample path from this process. Using topological techniques we are able to characterize the global dynamics and deduce the existence, structure and approximate location of invariant sets. Most importantly, we compute the probability that this...

    Distinguishing between global or macro patterns and local or micro fluctuations helps summarize the evolution of complex non-stationary dynamic systems. Herein, we focus on making distinctions between drift and shifts. Drift describes the micro-level evolution of a process. This may appear as variation about gradual trends. In contrast, shifts refer to discontinuities, rapid changes, or major...
