    I’m interested in the workshop, but unfortunately it’s on from 12 midnight to 3 am Oz time and I have a field trip during the day.

    Building on my climate work, I have developed an interest in how statistics are applied to complex system behaviour. Emergent features, asymmetrical structures and essentially statistical behaviour all require inferential methods. This won’t be news to workshop participants, but I think the topic needs a more systematic approach. For example, statistical climatology is being almost universally misapplied on decadal timescales. The signal is being misinterpreted as noise because emergent features that produce nonlinear responses to external forcing are being interpreted as due to internally-driven stochastic behaviour. Self-regulating processes and rapid changes in risk are being ignored as a result.

    Similar issues can be encountered in other complex systems, both natural and social.
