The Event Analytics and Statistical Learning Lab develops statistical and machine learning methods to predict, detect, and link events in complex systems. Our research spans event forecasting with point processes and Hawkes models, anomaly detection in networks and spatial data, and data linkage across disparate sources. Applications range from crime, terrorism, and traffic safety to organ transplantation, disease surveillance, and social dynamics. The lab advances the statistical foundations of data science while delivering insights with direct impact on public safety, security, and health.
