An Introduction to Statistical Meta-Analysis
- Abstract
- Statistical meta-analysis deals with valid statistical methods to effectively combine information or evidence from several independent studies or sources all sharing a common goal. I will provide an overview of this highly fascinating topic with some examples.

Multiscale stochastic reaction-diffusion algorithms combining a Markov chain model with SPDE
- Abstract
- In this talk I will introduce a multiscale algorithm for stochastic simulation of reaction-diffusion processes. The algorithm is applicable to systems which include regions with a few molecules and regions with a large number of molecules. A domain of interest is divided into two subsets where continuous-time Markov chain models and stochastic partial differential equations (SPDEs) can be respectively used. Several examples with simulation results will be shown. This is a joint work with Radek Erban at the University of Oxford.
