SUMMARY:Exhibition:The People’s Bicentennial
DESCRIPTION:This selection of original artifacts documents the work of the Peoples Bicentennial Commission (PBC)\, which challenged the official\, corporate-sponsored commemoration of the 1976 bicentennial. This year we celebrate the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence.\n\nItems on display are from the Joseph A. Labadie Collection\, which documents social protest movements and radical history.\n\nHOURS\nSunday 2-8pm\nMonday-Thursday 9am-8pm\nFriday 9am-4pm\nSaturday 11am-5pm

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Contributions to Expected Shortfall Regression
DESCRIPTION:Expected shortfall (ES)\, defined as the average over the tail below (or above) a certain quantile of a probability distribution\, is a coherent measure to characterize the tail of a distribution in many applications\, such as finance\, environmental science\, and healthcare research. Expected shortfall regression is a framework for analyzing the relationship between the ES of a response variable and a set of covariates. As an application example\, in health disparity research\, it can uncover the relations between the lower/upper tails of the conditional distribution of a health-related outcome and covariates of the subjects. This thesis is dedicated to three statistical methodologies for expected shortfall regression.\n\nIn the first chapter\, we propose the high-dimensional expected shortfall linear regression with the lasso penalty to induce sparse estimators. We propose a debiased estimator and establish the asymptotic normality for conducting valid statistical inferences. We illustrate the finite sample performance of the proposed methods through numerical studies and a data application on health disparity. In the second chapter\, we study a novel optimization-based approach for linear expected shortfall regression\, which relaxes the assumptions made on the conditional quantile models. While the proposed loss function is implicitly defined\, we provide a prototype implementation of the proposed approach with some initial expected shortfall estimators based on binning techniques or machine learning methods. With practically feasible initial estimators\, we establish the consistency and the asymptotic normality of the proposed estimator. The proposed approach achieves heterogeneity-adaptive weights and therefore often offers efficiency gains over existing approaches in the literature\, as demonstrated through simulation studies. In the last chapter\, we further extend the framework to model the nonlinear relationship between covariates and the ES of the response\, and introduce a novel expected shortfall random forest (ESRF) framework. The proposed ESRF approach integrates subsampling and data-splitting schemes to construct a nonparametric ensemble that jointly estimates conditional quantiles and expected shortfalls. Building upon this framework\, we further develop the expected shortfall causal forest (ESCF) to estimate the conditional ES treatment effect\, defined as the difference between the conditional ES of potential outcomes. We establish the pointwise consistency and the asymptotic normality for both the ESRF and the ESCF estimators. We illustrate the finite-sample performance of the proposed methods through simulations and an empirical application examining health disparities among low-birthweight infants.\n\nhttps://umich.zoom.us/j/98910982237

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Using CRLT’s 5 Element Framework to Support Student Learning and Wellbeing
DESCRIPTION:In this session\, we will explore strategies for supporting student wellbeing in our courses using CRLT’s ‘5 Element Framework’ and other relevant research.  We will think together about how your teaching choices can support student learning and student mental health or wellbeing. And\, engage in critical discussion with session participants about ways to apply relevant research\, appropriate to teaching roles\, to our course design\, including course policies\, assignments\, and communication with students.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Human Genetics Research Seminar Series
DESCRIPTION:Monday\, May 11\, 2026\n11:00am - 12:00pm\n1020 Kahn Auditorium\, BSRB\n\nTony Capra\, PhD\nProfessor\nBakar Computational Health Sciences Institute\nDepartment of Epidemiology and Biostatistics\nUniversity of California\, San Francisco\n“Seminar Title TBD”\n\nHosted By: Xinjun Zhang\, PhD\, Department of Human Genetics\n___\nWe use the tools of computer science and statistics to address problems in genetics\, evolution\, and biomedicine. For a summary of our major research foci\, see Research.\n\nOur group is located in the Bakar Computational Health Sciences Institute and the Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics at the University of California\, San Francisco. Prior to coming to UCSF\, Tony spent 7 wonderful years at Vanderbilt University.\n\nHumans differ from one another and our closest living relatives\, the chimpanzees\, in a wide range of traits\, including our susceptibility to many diseases. We model the evolutionary processes that have produced these novel traits and develop algorithms that compare genomes to predict the functional relevance of specific genetic differences between individuals and species.
