Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. The two-week OxTalks freeze period starts on Monday 2nd March. During this time, there will be no facility to publish or edit events. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period. Once Oxford Events launches, you will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
The Leverhulme Centre for Demographic Science and Centre for Care are hosting a free RobustiPy hackathon at the University of Oxford’s Saïd Business School on Thursday 27 June. Robustipy is an efficient multiversal library with model selection, averaging, resampling, out-of-sample analysis, and more. Developed for Python (and in the future for R), it is designed to be both accessible and computationally efficient. The aim of this hackathon is to solicit feedback on RobustiPy and to offer you the chance to test your own datasets. Please register by Thursday 13 June if you have an understanding of regression modelling, some Python experience, and an interest in the future of computational statistics
