He is the founder of the MBAD African Bead Museum in Detroit. Through material culture, Dabls presents commentary on the past, present, and future from African and African-American perspectives, with the understanding that generations of African ancestors used visual materials to convey information about their identity as well as send messages for healing and protection. Dabls is a luminary; for decades he has re-imagined what a museum space can be, accessible to everyone, free from the underpinnings of colonialism and the Western, often white, frame. *Grand Vision* includes a conceptual installation in the Gallery, presenting Dabls\u2019s own work in visual conversation with African beads and artifacts from Dabls\u2019s Bead Museum collections. \n\nAdditionally, Dabls\u2019s iconic outdoor sculpture *Iron Teaching Rocks Table Manners* will be installed on the U-M campus grounds near UMMA, at the intersection of State Street and South University from September 17- October 11, 2026. The project\u2019s range intends to more fully articulate the many facets of Dabls\u2019 creative practice, and the overlay of art, history, identity, community, and healing.", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"149620-21906795@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/149620", "building_id":"1005179", "building_name":"202 S.

Beyond aiding managerial decision-making, experiments mitigate risk by limiting the proportion of customers exposed to innovations. Since many experiments are conducted sequentially over time, an emerging strategy to further de-risk the process is to allow managers to ``peek'' at the results as new data become available and stop the test if the results are statistically significant. The class of statistical methods that allow managers to peek and still provide valid inference are often called anytime-valid since they maintain proper uniform type-1 error guarantees. In this paper, we extend existing anytime-valid approaches to accommodate the more complex yet standard settings in time series, switchback, and panel experiments. To achieve this, we leverage the design-based approach to focus on assumption-light and managerial relevant finite-sample estimates defined on the study participants as a direct measure of the risks incurred by companies. As a special case, our (asymptotic) results also provide a robust method for achieving always-valid inference in A\/B tests. We further provide a variance reduction technique incorporating modeling assumptions and covariates. Finally, we demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed approach through a simulation study and three real-world applications from Netflix. Our results show that using our confidence sequence, harmful experiments could be stopped after only observing a handful of units; for instance, our method would have stopped a 30,000 person Netflix experiment after the first 100 people.", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"153096-21915074@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/153096", "building_id":"1000167", "building_name":"West Hall", "campus_maps_id":"163", "room":"340", "location_name":"West Hall", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["Talk","symposium","seminar","Lecture","Graduate And Professional Students","Aem Featured"], "website":"", "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"Department of Statistics Seminar Series", "group_id":"3585", "website":"" }, { "group_name":"Department of Statistics", "group_id":"3473", "website":"" } ], "image_url":"", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"", "event_large":"", "event_large_2x":"", "event_large_lightbox":"", "group_thumb":"", "group_thumb_square":"", "group_large":"", "group_large_lightbox":"", "event_large_crop":"", "event_list":"", "event_list_2x":"", "event_grid":"", "event_grid_2x":"", "event_feature_large":"", "event_feature_thumb":"" }, "occurrence_count":1, "first_occurrence":21915074 } }
