Count on Me to Write a Mathematics/Statistics Book
An ICERM Public Lecture -Count on Me to Write a Mathematics/Statistics Book
Kimberly Sellers, North Carolina State University
Thursday, November 14, 2024
ICERM, 121 South Main Street, 11th Floor, Providence, RI 02903
Light reception: 6:00 pm
Lecture begins: 6:30 pm
ABOUT THE LECTURE:
The idea of writing a mathematics/statistics book never crossed my mind! How then did I get from there to having a published reference to my credit? This talk will discuss my journey towards becoming a published book author, offering context and background regarding the research area of discrete/count data modeling.
This is a pre-conference event for the Blackwell-Tapia Conference and is open to the public.
ABOUT THE SPEAKER:
Kimberly F. Sellers, PhD is the Head and Professor of the Statistics Department at the North Carolina State University since August 2023. She has published widely regarding statistical methods for count data that display significant data dispersion and is a co-creator of several related R packages for statistical computation. Sellers is the author of the reference, The Conway-Maxwell Poisson Distribution (Cambridge University Press, 2023), the first compilation describing the distribution theory and statistical methods developed to provide flexible alternatives to Poisson modeling via the Conway-Maxwell-Poisson distribution, including regression analysis, control chart theory, spatio-temporal models, and cure-rate models. She has been recognized as an Elected Member of the International Statistical Institute, a Fellow of the American Statistical Association, and an American Women in Mathematics Fellow. Sellers has held previous faculty positions at Carnegie Mellon University (Pittsburgh, PA), the University of Pennsylvania (Philadelphia, PA), and Georgetown University (Washington, DC).
