Principled uncertainty quantification for electrical generation data [TAKEN]

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

Compositional Data Analysis for Energy Mix Projections [TAKEN]

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

Bayesian Forecasting of Electric Vehicle Adoption [TAKEN]

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

Extreme Value Theory and the Climate [TAKEN]

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

Fusing Sentinel-5P Satellite Observations with Ground Sensors to Map and Forecast Trace Gases over Large Regions

(Please note this project is only for MSc in Statistics and Sustainability dissertations) Project background and requirement: Trace gases such as nitrogen dioxide, sulphur dioxide, carbon monoxide and ozone are regulated because of their effect on respiratory and cardiovascular health. They are measured very accurately by ground reference stations, but those stations are sparse and … Read more

Knowledge distillation for sustainable prediction

Eligibility: this project is only available to students on the online MSc Statistics and Sustainability programme. If interested please contact Cangxiong Chen at Cangxiong.Chen@tcd.ie (personal webpage https://cangxiongchen.github.io/).   Knowledge distillation is a machine learning technique in which a smaller student model learns to reproduce information from a larger teacher model, typically using the teacher’s outputs as … Read more

Comparing statistical methodologies for assessing yield variation across harvests in agricultural grasslands

ELIGIBILITY: This project is for a student taking the MSc in Statistics and Sustainability or the online MSc in Statistics and Data Science. 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 … Read more

Testing the relative importance of species diversity and nitrogen application on weed proportions in agricultural grasslands

ELIGIBILITY: This project is for a student taking the MSc in Statistics and Sustainability.
