This project will be supported by colleagues in the School of Medicine and the PARADISE research group. ANCA Vasculitis is a rare auto-immune disease in which sufferers are susceptible to flares, whereby a person’s immune system attacks their own body. This project will involve analysing data measuring patient’s quality of life using the EQ-5D procedure. … Read more
In this project you will use public datasets from Met Eireann and Dublin City Council to understand which factors influence cycling participation in Dublin. Very broadly, the goal of the project is to try and understand what kinds of policy decisions might help to promote active travel. This project will be supported by a colleague … Read more

The goal of this project will be to analyse data extracted from an online survey of adults who have received a … Read more
Machine learning models are increasingly used to predict time-to-event outcomes — for example, how long a patient might survive after treatment or when a machine is likely to fail. Unlike standard predictions, these models produce survival curves, which change over time. Existing explanation tools like Shapley values can tell us which features matter, but they … Read more

ELIGIBILITY: This project is for a student on the M.Sc. in Statistics and Data Science. In this project, we’ll look at the various ways in which ecologists have attempted to answer the question ‘How many species are there?’. Some of these methods are statistical, and we’ll focus on those, but we’ll also take a look … Read more
ELIGIBILITY: This project is for a student taking the online MSc in Statistics and Data Science. In biodiversity experiments, typically the number, identity and proportions of species are manipulated across experimental units. Often additional treatments are of interest to test alongside species diversity treatments. The design of these experiments can be challenged by the multiple … Read more
ELIGIBILITY: This project is for a student taking the MSc in Statistics and Sustainability. In agriculture, grasslands can play an important role in producing feed for animals and maintaining soil health in crop rotations. In recent years, mixing plant species with complementary traits have been proposed to reduce the quantity of synthetic fertiliser required to … Read more
