S120 - Statistical Modeling for Applied Research in Costa Rica
Tuesday October 6, 2026 18:00 - 19:00 UTC
This session brings together four applied studies demonstrating how modern statistical methods can address diverse scientific questions using complex data from Costa Rica. The presentations cover Bayesian hierarchical modeling, penalized regression, machine learning, and generalized additive models, with applications to infectious disease surveillance, biotechnology awareness, and animal production. Despite spanning different disciplines, the talks share a common emphasis on developing interpretable and robust statistical approaches to better understand complex systems through real-world applications in the Costa Rican context.
