Dear colleagues,
Please find details related to the CERN-EP/IT Data science seminar, 
co-organised with *PHYSTAT, * on Wednesday 5 February in Salle Bohr 
(40/S2-B01) at 11h00:

*PHYSTAT Seminar: Addressing the effect of selection on inference 
with the False Discovery Rate
by Prof. Yoav Benjamini (Tel Aviv University)*

https://indico.cern.ch/event/842572/

_Abstract_:

Estimates, tests, and confidence intervals are constructed to enjoy some 
statistical properties when used on a single pre-specified parameter. 
  When such inferences are made on parameters that become promising 
after looking at the data, their properties are no longer guaranteed – 
the look elsewhere effect being a case in point. I shall briefly review 
all available approaches to the problem. I shall review in depth the 
false discovery rate (FDR) approach, and the 
somewhat related conditional approach. After presenting the basic 
FDR methodologies, I will discuss methodologies for (i) model 
selection; (ii) assessing the replicability of a discovery; (iii) 
searching for discoveries through a complex hierarchical system. The 
latter potentially allows addressing the varied use of a database by 
many. I shall end by arguing that selection, being too often ignored, 
is undermining the replicability of discoveries in our 
current industrialised science.

No prior statistical knowledge is assumed beyond the understanding of 
the first sentence.

/As a follow-up to the lecture,  for those who are interested, 
  there will be an informal `Question and Answer' session with the 
speaker until 1pm in the same room. Please come along with your questions./
