ELIGIBILITY: This project is for a student taking the MSc in Statistics and Sustainability or the MSC in Statistics and Data Science. This project will investigate methods to predict electricity generation in Ireland. Importantly, we will make predictions with uncertainty intervals that accurately quantify variability in electricity production. We will compare prediction intervals generated by … Read more

ELIGIBILITY: This project is for a student taking the MSc in Statistics and Sustainability or the MSC in Statistics and Data Science. Compositional data comprise observations that sum to a fixed value and require special attention for statistical modelling and analysis. Energy mix, the proportion of energy use by fuel type, is an example of … Read more

ELIGIBILITY: This project is for a student taking the MSc in Statistics and Sustainability or the MSC in Statistics and Data Science. This project will focus on comparing Bayesian time-series forecasting methods, motivated by the problem of projecting electric vehicle adoption. Depending on interest, this may involve using probabilistic programming through the Stan programming language. … Read more

ELIGIBILITY: This project is for a student taking the MSc in Statistics and Sustainability or the MSC in Statistics and Data Science. Met Éireann monitors weather at 25 stations, with daily historical data available for multiple climate measures including precipitation, temperature, and wind speed. This project will analyze these data using methods from Extreme Value … Read more
