Researchers at Oxford have found that limiting gatherings to fewer than 10 people and closing educational institutions were among the most effective non-pharmaceutical interventions at suppressing transmission of COVID-19. Professor Yee Whye Teh from the Department of Statistics contributed to the paper, which was co-lead by Mrinank Sharma, who is affiliated with the Department.
The paper, Inferring the effectiveness of government interventions against COVID-19, was published in Science on Tuesday 15th December. Full details can be found here.
What does a statistician do for the England football team?
From squad selection to modelling how footballs behave at altitude, statistician Matt Penn explains how data is helping shape the modern game, and why coaches will always matter more than the numbers.
New evidence suggests vast hidden magma systems inside Mars
Researchers from the Departments of Earth Science and Statistics have found evidence that Mars once hosted enormous, Earth-like magmatic systems deep below its surface – even though the planet lacks the plate tectonics long considered essential for this kind of geological complexity. The findings open up new possibilities for how rocky planets become habitable.
Finding a needle in the genomic haystack: Targeting rare genes using statistical outliers
In statistical modelling, extreme outliers are often written off as 'noise'. But a new study by researchers from Oxford's Department of Statistics and Big Data Institute published this week in The American Journal of Human Genetics reverses that principle, using these outliers as the basis of a targeting system for locating rare, high-impact genetic mutations.
