SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Econometrics: On the Non-Asymptotic Properties of Regularized M-estimators
DESCRIPTION:We propose a general framework for regularization in M-estimation problems under time dependent (absolutely regular-mixing) data which encompasses many of the existing estimators. We derive non-asymptotic concentration bounds for the regularized M-estimator. Our results exhibit a variance-bias trade-off\, with the variance term being governed by a novel measure of the complexity of the parameter set. We also show that the mixing structure affect the variance term by scaling the number of observations\; depending on the decay rate of the mixing coefficients\, this scaling can even affect the asymptotic behavior. Finally\, we propose a data-driven method for choosing the tuning parameters of the regularized estimator which yield the same (up to constants) concentration bound as one that optimally balances the (squared) bias and variance terms. We illustrate the results with several canonical examples.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Exhibition Presentation and Opening: The Future Needs..Something Blue
DESCRIPTION:Could anyone have foreseen the technical\, social\, and conceptual issues that have confronted the University of Michigan since its founding 200 years ago\, or the challenges it has faced in the last 100\, 50\, or even five years? In the marshaling of knowledge and expertise\, the greatest achievement of the University lies not in its continuity\, but in its ability to address the unforeseen. Drawing on the student work from the Taubman College Architecture Program\, “The Future Needs…Something Blue” addresses an idea of the future that lies not in the answers to questions we now know\, but in possibilities we are only now beginning to imagine. Sited at the Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning’s Liberty Research Annex\, the display is simultaneously shop window\, gallery\, and salon. Organized around a series of emergent themes it is an interactional space in which to view (in perspective\, parallax\, parallel\, and contrast) the multiple points of view that constitute the future.\n“The Future Needs…Something Blue” is curated by Associate Professor of Practice Julia McMorrough and Associate Professor John McMorrough of studioAPT (Architecture Practice Theory).\nOn Tuesday\, September 19 at 6:00pm there will be an opening reception at the Liberty Research Annex (305 W. Liberty St.\, Ann Arbor). Exhibition on view September 20 - October 29.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:AE585 Graduate Seminar Series - Next Generation Aeronautical Engineering Designs
DESCRIPTION:Next Generation Aeronautical Engineering Designs - Exploitation of Unsteady Aerodynamics and Nonlinear Flight Mechanics \n\nAeronautical engineering designs have been discreetly following conventional designs over the last century. Innovative leaps require advanced analysis tools that allow studying unconventional operating regimes at high frequencies and angles of attack\, hence\, exploiting unsteady aerodynamic phenomena and nonlinear flight dynamics\, rather than obviating them\, for the creation of novel efficient designs.\n\nThis talk serves as an initiator for new research ideas and development of advanced analysis tools rather than stating research outcomes. In this talk\, I will discuss three main topics. First\, I will discuss formulating airplane flight mechanics in a differential geometric control framework that results in recovery of nonlinear controllability when linear controllability is lost due to hydraulic loss of control surfaces. Moreover\, based on this formulation\, I will show a novel rolling mechanism\, due to nonlinear interactions between elevator and aileron\, which has a significantly higher control authority near stall than the conventional linear rolling mechanism due to ailerons. Second\, I will discuss the meager state of flutter predictability and its root cause\, stemming from a fundamental flaw in the classical theory of unsteady aerodynamics\; namely the unsteady Kutta condition. I will show our recent development of a viscous extension to the classical theory that does not invoke an auxiliary condition (e.g.\, Kutta condition). Driven by such a motivation\, I will discuss our nascent idea of developing a variational theory for unsteady aerodynamics\; novel framework for modeling of unsteady aerodynamics after following Prandtl’s formulation for a century. Finally\, in the light of these analysis tools\, I will talk about a new airplane concept that exploits unsteady aerodynamic phenomena near stall for propulsion by flapping its tails: The Flapping Tail Concept Airplane (FTCA). This concept is expected to provide 25% saving in fuel consumptions\, if the associated technical challenges are successfully overcome. I will also discuss how the geometric control theory can help in this regard.\n\nAbout the speaker...\nHaithem Taha is currently an assistant professor in the department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at the University of California\, Irvine. He received his PhD degree from the Engineering Science and Mechanics department at Virginia Tech simultaneously with an MSc degree in Interdisciplinary Mathematics in Dec 2013. He earned his BSc and MSc degrees in aerospace engineering from Cairo University\, Egypt in 2005 and 2008\, respectively\, then\, joined the German University in Cairo as an instructor for automatic control and then Virginia Tech in 2010 to start his PhD study. His PhD research has focused on aerodynamic modeling\, flight dynamics and control of flapping wing micro-air vehicles. Mr. Taha has wide research interests that cover Geometric Nonlinear Control Theory and Unsteady Nonlinear Aerodynamics with application to Flight Dynamics of Flapping-Wing Micro-Air-Vehicles.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:EEB Thursday Seminar: Mammal diversification in relation to dynamic landscapes
DESCRIPTION:Topographically complex regions on land and in the oceans feature hotspots of diversity that reflect geological influences on ecological and evolutionary processes.  Diversity across topographic gradients wax and wane over millions of years\, tracking tectonic or climatic history.  Neontological\, paleontological\, and geological data and approaches must be integrated to test alternative models of diversification along topographic gradients.  I will present a case study of North American mammal diversity in relation to landscape history over the last 30 million years.\n\nView YouTube video of seminar: https://youtu.be/V4tjNTZypzk

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Upping the Ante: The Equilibrium Effects of Unconditional Grants to Private Schools
DESCRIPTION:Authors: Tahir Andrabi\, Jishnu Das\, Asim I Khwaja\, Selcuk Ozyurt\, Niharika Singh\n\nQuantifying the impact of market failures that prevent parents and schools from reaching their desired educational goals is central to our understanding of the sector. Using an experimental design\, we examine how alleviating one such market failure--access to finance--affects school profitability\, enrollment and test scores. Specifically\, we randomly assigned 851 private schools across 266 villages in rural Pakistan to one of two types of financial treatments: (i) `High Intensity'\, where all private schools in the village received an unconditional grant of \$500 each and (ii) `Low' intensity where one private schools is randomly chosen to receive the grant. In the low intensity treatment\, revenues increased substantially due to higher enrollments\, but there was no increase in test scores or fees. In the high intensity treatment\, revenues increased both due to greater enrollment and increased fees that accompanied higher test scores. While the returns exceeded market interest rates in both cases\, because higher quality was obtained through greater remuneration for teachers--a variable\, rather than a fixed cost--the private returns were lower in the high intensity arm.
