DCS Masterclass on Data Visualization

17 April 2019

November 12, 2019
Bar Beton, Utrecht Central Station
The Netherlands

The Dutch Chemometrics Society (DCS) cordially invites you to a DCS Masterclass on Data Visualization! The Masterclass will feature two renown plenary speakers from the data visualization field: Casper Albers and Sara Sprinkhuizen.

Casper is a professor at Rijksuniversiteit Groningen in applied statistics and data visualization. His research focuses on statistical modelling of psychological processes, applied in clinical psychology and environmental psychology and on the interplay between statistics and science communication. He has over 50 peer reviewed papers, has given numerous lectures and workshops and occasionally writes scientific columns for Dutch newspaper De Volkskrant. Casper will mainly speak about a theoretical basis for multivariate data visualization (e.g. biplots).

Sara is a freelance data analyst and data visualization expert. After having studied physics, she got intrigued by data visualization because proper data visualization can strongly contribute to get complex messages across. She is currently active as data analyst, data visualizer and consultant for multiple international companies and research institutes, including MIT Media Lab, the online newspaper De Correspondent, the Dutch medical journal Nederlands Tijdschrift voor Geneeskunde, and the Màxima Medical Center in Eindhoven. Sara's talk will mainly focus on perceptional and aesthetic aspects of data visualization.

Two experts in data science and chemometrics will challenge the talks to trigger discussion. Renger Jellema (senior scientist at DSM Biotechnology Center, The Netherlands) and José Camacho (Associate Professor in the Department of Signal Theory, Networking and Communications at University of Granada, Spain) will take up the challenger role.

 

Date, time, location

The Masterclass will be held on November 12, 2019 at Bar Beton in Utrecht. Bar Beton is conveniently located at Utrecht Central Station and can thus be very easily reached by public transport. The masterclass starts at 09.30 hrs and ends at 16.00 hrs, followed by some drinks and snacks.

29th Annual Chemometrics Symposium

“How to handle missing and censored data”

Thursday 15th October 2015, Wageningen, The Netherlands

 

 

Most recipes for data analysis assume that data are complete and have been measured accurately. In real life this often is not the case. Data can be missing, which means that they have not been measured at all. Or they may be censored, which means that they are known to be less (or sometimes larger) than a given threshold. Both cases need special treatment.
The Dutch Chemometrics Society invites you to their Annual Chemometrics Symposium 2015 that will focus on handling missing and censored data.  We are proud to present a program with excellent speakers, who will discuss theory and practical applications.
 

Speakers with their presentation  titles:
 

•    Stef van Buuren
     “Multiple imputation of incomplete multivariate data: a bird’s eye view”
•    Hae-Won Uh
     “Dealing with data below the detection limit: a statistical view on uncertainty”.
•    Jeroen Elassaiss-Schaap
     “Mixing censoring into population PK and PK-PD nonlinear mixed effects”
•    Gerjen Tinnevelt
     “A PLS-based approach to combine multiple flow cytometry tubes”.
•    Martin Lopatka
     “Novel data imputation to emulate complex mixing condition seen in fire debris samples”.
•    Jos Hageman
     “Batch correction for LCMS in the presence of non-detects”.
 

Location

The meeting will take place in meeting room C103, Forum, building number 102, Droevendaalsesteeg 2, 6708 PB Wageningen, The Netherlands. See Forum-building-number-102 for a description and how to get there.

Time

Registration and coffee between 9:15 and 9:55, opening symposium at 9:55.

Berg en Dal, The Netherlands

                                                      

The International Chemometrics Research Meeting is organized every three years (by the Dutch Chemometrics Society). It is dedicated to in-depth discussion of recent chemometric and statistical developments that are relevant to analytical chemistry and is applications. The format of the meeting is inspired by the Gordon conferences:  two sessions per day (one in the morning and one in the evening), with an invited speaker, a discussant and lots of room for the floor discussion.

Participants can bring posters and there is room for a small number of contributed talks.

New this time are 4 short tutorials, on ASCA, PCA/PLS, penalties and on MCR. The tutorials take place in the afternoons. They do not overlap and attendance is free for conferences participants.

A social program and conference dinner is also part of ICRM2017.

The following invited speakers will give a keynote lecture:

  • Peter Wentzell (Dalhousie University, Halifax, Canada).
  • Lieven De Lathauwer (KU Leuven, Belgium).
  • Peter Filzmoser (TU Wien, Austria)
  • Morten Rasmussen (University of Copenhagen, Denmark)
  • Marieke Timmerman (RU Groningen, The Netherlands)
  • Onno de Noord (Shell Amsterdam, The Netherlands)
  • TBA

This is a first announcement. More information about registration and the conference fee will follow soon.
