Capitalising on Opportunistic Data for Monitoring Species Relative Abundances
Opportunistic data combined with a relatively small amount of data collected with a known effort may thus provide access to accurate and precise estimates of quantitative changes in relative abundance over space and/or time.

We develop a novel Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) method that exploits a hierarchy of models of increasing complexity to efficiently generate samples from an unnormalized target distribution.

A large-scale analysis of racial disparities in police stops across the United States
We find that black drivers are stopped more often than white drivers relative to their share of the driving-age population, but that Hispanic drivers are stopped less often than whites.
Applications
HyperTools: A Python toolbox for visualizing and manipulating high-dimensional data
Just as the position of an object moving through space can be visualized as a 3D trajectory, HyperTools uses dimensionality reduction algorithms to create similar 2D and 3D trajectories for time series of high-dimensional observations.

Computing Extremely Accurate Quantiles Using t-Digests
We present on-line algorithms for computing approximations of rank-based statistics that give high accuracy, particularly near the tails of a distribution, with very small sketches.

A flexible forecasting model for production systems
This paper discusses desirable properties of forecasting models in production systems.

Bayesian Time Varying Coefficient Model with Applications to Marketing Mix Modeling
Both Bayesian and varying coefficient models are very useful tools in practice as they can be used to model parameter heterogeneity in a generalizable way.
