As part of its 60th Anniversary, the Statistical Society of Australia is featuring 60 historical & current prominent Australian statisticians in a story in Significance. We're the proud the list includes Centre leaders Kerrie Mengersen & Chris Drovandi. significancemagazine.com/10-news/739-60… #Statistics

Honoured to be listed in the Statistical Society of Australia list of 60 great Aussie statisticians to celebrate the 60 years. Amazing company!

Our paper on improving marginal approximations in likelihood-free inference now online at JCGS. David T. Frazier QUT Centre for Data Science tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

Our paper Transformations in Semi-Parametric Bayesian Synthetic Likelihood with Jacob Priddle is now published in CSDA. Paper can be accessed for free for next 50 days using link below QUT Centre for Data Science authors.elsevier.com/a/1hHT6cBz8XqZv

It only took 8 months longer than I thought it would, but the first paper of my PhD is now preprinted! A method for generating stable & coexisting ensemble ecosystem models without the computational cost: arxiv.org/abs/2307.11365

With Australia's trip to England for the Ashes complete, Chris Drovandi and I took a deep dive into Bazball to see how game-changing it has been for Test cricket from a stats perspective, see our The Conversation - Australia + New Zealand article here: theconversation.com/bazball-by-the…

I'm excited to announce the release of my new publication titled "The effect of biologically mediated decay rates on modelling soil carbon sequestration in agricultural settings", now available in the journal "Environmental Modelling & Software". sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Very excited to see latest work with Oliver Maclaren Elliot Carr @ProfMJSimpson and Chris Drovandi published! Here we look at a simulation-based approach to generating likelihood profiles when the likelihood is intractable. link.springer.com/article/10.100…

As England and India square off in a big test series in Cricket this month, Centre researcher Chris Drovandi, along with Tim Newans, take a statistical approach to “Bazball” - England's aggressive, high-risk, high-reward style of cricket. academic.oup.com/jrssig/article… Significance
