Does having more money make people happier? And how exactly do viruses spread across different places and over time? These are all projects I worked on during my undergraduate and postgraduate studies. They sparked my curiosity to explore statistics further. Now, as a PhD student, I work on detecting unusual behaviour in data streams: the challenge is to do this as quickly as possible. In this talk, we will explore these projects and I hope to show you how enjoyable statistics can be!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>¶¶Òõ̽̽App summer school (August 2023)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Steps to University for Mathematics Students (May 2023) &#8211; aimed at Year 12 girls\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Presentation: Exploring the Fascinating World of Statistics (https:\/\/amsp.org.uk\/our-sums-steps-to-university-for-mathematical-students-enrichment-day-is-back-for-2023\/)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-css-opacity has-background is-style-wide\" style=\"background-color:#0d70a9;color:#0d70a9\" \/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Teaching Assistant<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2023-2024<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>MATH336: Machine Learning<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>MESME (Mathematics Education for Social Mobility and Excellence) mentor: supports students from all backgrounds to achieve mathematical excellence so that they feel more confident as mathematicians and go on to have a greater range of future personal and employment choices.

Temporal biased sampling is introduced by inappropriate sampling method, and population temporal trend is a common phenomenon in evolution. By simulating four different scenarios, we evaluated the effect of MASCOT (which is a phylogeography method based on the Forward-Backward algorithm) under such situations. Thus, we draw a conclusion that MASCOT is not suitable to analyse genetic data having temporal biased sampling.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Research Interests and Current Research My research direction is to develop novel anomaly detection approaches in the internet of things.&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":25,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":4,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-18","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.lancaster.ac.uk\/stor-i-student-sites\/ziyang-yang\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/18","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.lancaster.ac.uk\/stor-i-student-sites\/ziyang-yang\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.lancaster.ac.uk\/stor-i-student-sites\/ziyang-yang\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.lancaster.ac.uk\/stor-i-student-sites\/ziyang-yang\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/25"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.lancaster.ac.uk\/stor-i-student-sites\/ziyang-yang\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=18"}],"version-history":[{"count":16,"href":"https:\/\/www.lancaster.ac.uk\/stor-i-student-sites\/ziyang-yang\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/18\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":454,"href":"https:\/\/www.lancaster.ac.uk\/stor-i-student-sites\/ziyang-yang\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/18\/revisions\/454"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.lancaster.ac.uk\/stor-i-student-sites\/ziyang-yang\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=18"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
