SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Statistics Department Seminar Series: Gongjun Xu\, Associate Professor\, Department of Statistics\, University of Michigan
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Generalized latent factor analysis not only provides a useful latent embedding approach in statistics and machine learning\, but also serves as a widely used tool across various scientific fields\, including psychometrics\, econometrics\, and social sciences. Ensuring the identifiability of latent factors and the loading matrix is essential for the model's estimability and interpretability\, and various identifiability conditions have been employed by practitioners. However\, fundamental statistical inference issues for latent factors and factor loadings under commonly used identifiability conditions remain largely unaddressed. In this work\, we focus on the maximum likelihood estimation for generalized factor models and establish statistical inference properties under popularly used identifiability conditions. The developed theory is further illustrated through numerical simulations and an application to a personality assessment dataset.\n\nhttps://sites.google.com/umich.edu/gongjunxu

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Story Lab Fall Retreats
DESCRIPTION:ABOUT\nStory Lab develops executive-level presence and communication skills through storytelling workshops and events. To be an effective leader — at work\, in the community\, or in your personal life — you must be able to communicate with impact. Often this means telling stories that are meaningful to you and others\, and doing so in the rich language and expressive style of a seasoned storyteller. If you can craft and deliver an effective story\, you will be better able to convey your value to recruiters\, inspire and motivate classmates and colleagues\, and influence your audience. At Story Lab\, you’ll find an immersive experience and an opportunity to hone your skills in a safe and supportive environment.\n\nDATES\n10/24 | 4:30–9 PM @ Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy OR 10/25 | 10 AM–2:30 PM @ Michigan League (Choose ONE)\nDevelop your storytelling abilities.\n\nPARTICIPANT REQUIREMENTS\nStudents with a strong interest in building storytelling abilities and leadership development. Any level student at any school is welcome.\n\nREGISTRATION WINDOW\n9/30–10/17\n\nVisit our webpage to learn more!
