SUMMARY:Exhibition:A Perfect Pairing of Cookbooks and Dinnerware
DESCRIPTION:A dozen selections from the Janice Bluestein Longone Culinary Archive from our Special Collections Research Center have been perfectly paired with dishes from the International Museum of Dinnerware Design to provide a feast for the eyes.\n\nA “perfect pairing” usually refers to a taste compatibility between wine and a food group\, such as wine and cheese. For example\, some believe a perfect pairing would be Cabernet with duck confit with turnips or Pinot Noir with bison rib eye steaks with roasted garlic — wines with sauces\, spicy food\, hors d’oeurvres\, etc. But other things can be perfectly paired such as fruit and cheese\, a couple\, or a clothing selection.\n\nSometimes pairs are made more perfect when they are catalysts for the imagination. That is what curators Margaret Carney\, Ph.D.\, and Juli McLoone are serving in \"A Perfect Pairing of Cookbooks and Dinnerware.\" The right ingredients along with an inspired recipe creates a delicious and beautiful meal that is enhanced when the cuisine is presented on a thoughtfully curated table setting\, or\, we hope\, in a thoughtfully curated exhibit. Bon Appetit!

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Lane Hall Gallery Summer Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:In this exhibit\, artists Ashley Bigham (photographs) and Grace Mahoney (watercolors) investigate the visibility and social role of Ukraine’s older generation of women embodied in a figure both iconic and ubiquitous: the babusya. Seen in public transport\, in the market\, and on the street\, each babusya has a story to tell. Each has something to say\, something to gossip about\, and something to complain about. \n\n\"Invisible Women: Portraits of Aging in Ukraine\" is hosted by the University of Michigan’s Institute for Research on Women and Gender (IRWG) and the Department of Women’s and Gender Studies. The exhibit is on display for public viewing weekdays from 8:00 a.m.- 4:00 p.m. through August 18\, 2022\, in the main lobby of Lane Hall\, located at 204 South State Street\, Ann Arbor\, MI 48109. For more information on the current exhibit\, visit IRWG’s website.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Map ≠ Territory: Distortion and Power in Cartography
DESCRIPTION:More than strict representations of the world we inhabit\, maps are social constructions that embody the interests of their creators. Map ≠ Territory deconstructs maps that have been used to subjugate\, appropriate\, and oppress\, as well as the maps that counter that power through emancipation and advocacy. The exhibit critically engages with materials that span from the colonial era to modern-day Detroit.\n\nThe exhibit is available in the Clark Library (second floor Hatcher) during Hatcher Library hours. Please verify hours on the library's website: https://www.lib.umich.edu

SUMMARY:Presentation:Contributions to Quantile and Superquantile Regression
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Understanding the heterogeneous covariate-response relationship is central to modern data analysis.  Beyond the usual descriptors such as the mean and variance\, quantile and superquantile (also known as  the expected shortfall or conditional value-at-risk) regression can capture the differential covariate  effects on the upper or lower tails of the response distribution. This dissertation studies some  fundamental aspects of the statistical inference of quantile and super quantile regression. \n\nIn the first part of the dissertation\, we propose a novel approach to superquantile regression with a  critical modification of an optimization formulation in the recent literature. Most existing approaches for  superquantile regression rely explicitly on the modeling of the conditional quantile function. In this  dissertation\, we offer new insights into an optimization formulation for the superquantile\, based on  which we provide and validate a direct approach to superquantile regression estimation without relying  on additional quantile regression modeling. Operationally\, the approach can be well approximated by  fitting a linear quantile regression to an array of pre-estimated conditional superquantile processes. This  approach achieves implicit weighting of the data\, which is found to be automatically adaptive to data  heterogeneity in a variety of scenarios. With certain initial estimators based on binning of the covariate  space\, we show the proposed superquantile regression estimator is consistent and asymptotically normal. Via theoretical and numerical comparisons\, we show that the proposed approach has competitive\, and  often superior\, performance relative to other common approaches in the literature. \n\nIn the second part of the dissertation\, we study pseudo-Bayesian inference for possibly sparse quantile  regression models. We find that by coupling the asymmetric Laplace working likelihood with  appropriate shrinkage priors\, we can deliver pseudo-Bayesian inference that adapts automatically to the  possible sparsity in quantile regression analysis. After a suitable adjustment on the posterior variance\,  the proposed method provides asymptotically valid inference under heterogeneity. Furthermore\, the  proposed approach leads to oracle asymptotic efficiency for the active (nonzero) quantile regression  coefficients and super-efficiency for the non-active ones. We also discuss the theoretical extension when  the covariate dimension increases with the sample size at a controlled rate. By avoiding the need to  pursue dichotomous variable selection as well as nuisance parameter estimation\, the Bayesian computational framework demonstrates desirable inferential stability.

SUMMARY:Class / Instruction:Design and Implementation of Web Surveys - Summer Institute in Survey Research Techniques
DESCRIPTION:Design and Implementation of Web Surveys\n\nCourse open for registration!\nOpen to all!\n\nJuly 25-29\, 2022\n9:00am-1:00pm\,\nM/T/W/Th/F\n\nhis one-week course introduces students to the design and implementation of online survey data collection instruments. The course is both hands-on and conceptual. It begins by discussing what is unique about web surveys and when their use is most appropriate\, followed by an introduction to survey errors that can affect the quality of web survey data. Small groups of students will each develop a research problem and a questionnaire to address their problem\, designed for online administration. They will pretest the question wording\, program the questionnaire using a web survey development platform (no programming experience is required)\, and assess users’ (respondents’) experience while interacting with the web-based instrument. Students will also develop basic plans for data collection and analysis. Finally\, each group will present its problem\, online questionnaire\, evaluation\, and plans to the rest of the class.  \n\nWhy take this course?\n\n· To gain an understanding of what should go into creating a web-based questionnaire\n\n· To gain experience weighing the pros and cons of different web questionnaire features\n\n· To gain experience building a web questionnaire on a standard platform\n\n· To gain experience evaluating survey questions and their usability in an online questionnaire\n\nNot for academic credit\n\nInstructors: Frederick Conrad\, Florian Keusch and Christopher Antoun\n\nAll 2022 courses will we held in an alternative remote format.\n\,
