SUMMARY:Exhibition:Kristina Sheufelt: Here Nor There
DESCRIPTION:Reception: Friday\, September 9th\, 5-7 pm.

Sheufelt is based in Detroit\, Michigan\, and recently received her MFA from the Penny W. Stamps School of Art and Design.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Navigation Pain: Drip Pricing and Personalization in Two-Sided Digital Markets
DESCRIPTION:This paper considers two critical issues of platform design: personalized recommendations and drip pricing. In many online markets\, consumers often have little ex-ante knowledge of product features. In these markets\, how does platform design impact consumer welfare\, seller outcomes\, and platform profits? I answer this question in the context of the online market for hotel rooms using data from Expedia Group\, an online travel agency (OTA). I present evidence that in this market\, consumers do not ex-ante know product features\, including price. On the demand side\, this paper proposes an optimal sequential search model where consumers have rational expectations of the joint distribution of product features\, form consideration sets through page turns and clicks\, and make a final purchase decision from their consideration set. As for the platform\, I use LambdaMART\, a machine learning algorithm\, to create a mirror of the platform’s recommendation system. The search engine mirror allows for the supply side model where profit-maximizing firms consider how changes in price impact position on the page in search results. The proposed model and estimation strategies allow for platform design counterfactuals\, including changes to the order of search results and feature emphasis. The paper concludes by evaluating the welfare effects of personalized recommendations and drip pricing.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Statistics Department Seminar Series: Patrick Flaherty\, Associate Professor\, Department of Mathematics and Statistics\, University of Massachusetts\, Amherst
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: 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 make a theoretical analysis of the long-term asymptotic behavior of alpha-wealth which motivates a consideration of sample size in the alpha-investing decision rule. Using the game theoretic principle of indifference\, we construct a decision rule that optimizes the expected return (ERO) of alpha-wealth and provides an optimal sample size for the test. We show empirical results that a cost-aware ERO decision rule correctly rejects more false null hypotheses than other methods. We extend cost-aware ERO investing to finite-horizon testing which enables the decision rule to hedge against the risk of unproductive tests. Finally\, empirical tests on a real data set from a biological experiment show that cost-aware ERO produces actionable decisions as to which tests to conduct and if so at what sample size.\n\nPatrick Flaherty is an Associate Professor in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at the University of Massachusetts\, Amherst. His research includes large-scale genomic data\, hierarchical Bayesian models\, variational inference\, robust experiment design.\n\nhttps://www.math.umass.edu/directory/faculty/patrick-flaherty

SUMMARY:Presentation:The Clements Bookworm: “O Say Can You Hear?\, A Cultural Biography of ‘The Star-Spangled Banner’”
DESCRIPTION:Mark Clague brilliantly weaves together the stories of the song and the nation it represents in his newest book\, \"O Say Can You Hear?\, A Cultural Biography of 'The Star-Spangled Banner.'\" Examining the origins of both text and music\, alternate lyrics and translations\, and the song’s use in sports\, at times of war\, and for political protest\, he argues that the anthem’s meaning reflects—and is reflected by—the nation’s quest to become a more perfect union. From victory song to hymn of sacrifice and vehicle for protest\, the story of Key’s song is the story of America itself.\n\nMark is Professor of musicology and American culture at the University of Michigan\; associate dean at the School of Music\, Theatre & Dance\; and codirector of the American Music Institute.\n\nThis episode of the Clements Bookworm is generously sponsored by the Alumni Association of the University of Michigan.
