O autorze

Olawale Awe is Vice President of the International Association for Statistics Education (IASE), an Elected member of the ISI (International Statistics Institute), and a Fellow of the African Scientific Institute, USA. He is the First LISA Fellow of the LISA 2020 Global Network at the University of Colorado, Boulder, USA. He has been a visiting scholar at the following institutions: Department of Statistics, Virginia Tech, and BECCA Lab of the University of Pennsylvania, USA (September 2013-September 2014); Department of Statistics, Federal University of Bahia, Brazil (March- September 2020); Institute of Mathematics, Statistics, and Scientific Computing, University of Campinas, Brazil (2021-2023). He has over fifteen years of experience as a Researcher, Lecturer, Senior Lecturer, and Professor at various institutions in Nigeria and beyond. His research interests include Computational Statistics, Machine Learning, Time Series Econometrics, Statistics education, and Bayesian Methods. He has facilitated several capacity-building workshops and seminars globally. He has a strong passion for building the capacity of statisticians in Africa and other developing countries. Awe holds a Ph.D. in Statistics from the University of Ibadan, Nigeria, and an MBA from Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, Nigeria. He is an Affiliate member of the African Academy of Sciences (AAS) and a former Council Member of the International Society for Business and Industrial Statistics (ISBIS) (2017-2021) as well as a country coordinator (Nigeria) of the International Statistical Literacy Program (ISLP) of the ISI. He is a professor and Ph.D. Advisor at the Global Humanistic University (GHU), Curacao. He is also a visiting professor at the African Institute of Mathematical Sciences (AIMS).

Eric A. Vance is an Associate Professor of Applied Mathematics and the Director of the Laboratory for Interdisciplinary Statistical Analysis (LISA) at the University of Colorado Boulder, USA. He is the Global Director of the LISA 2020 Network. He researches the micro- and macro-theory of collaboration, i.e., what individual statisticians and data scientists need to know to become effective interdisciplinary collaborators and what institutions can do to promote interdisciplinary collaboration between domain experts, statisticians, and data scientists. He is an Elected Member of the International Statistical Institute and a member of its Statistical Capacity Building Taskforce. He is a Fellow of the American Statistical Association (ASA) and winner of the 2019 ASA Jackie Dietz Award for best paper in the Journal of Statistics Education for “The ASCCR Frame for Learning Essential Collaboration Skills.” He is a past chair of the ASA Section on Statistical Consulting and the Conference on Statistical Practice. He has traveled through 85 countries and keeps these experiences in mind as he collaborates toward building capacity for sustainable development.

This volume gathers papers presented at the LISA 2020 Sustainability Symposium in Kumasi, Ghana, May 2–6, 2022. They focus on sustainable methods and practices of using statistics and data science to address real-world problems. From utilizing social media for statistical collaboration to predicting obesity among rural women, and from analyzing inflation in Nigeria using machine learning to teaching data science in Africa, this book explores the intersection of data, statistics, and sustainability. With practical applications, code snippets, and case studies, this book offers valuable insights for researchers, policymakers, and data enthusiasts alike.

The LISA 2020 Global Network aims to enhance statistical and data science capability in developing countries through the creation of a network of collaboration laboratories (also known as “stat labs”). These stat labs are intended to serve as engines for development by training the next generation of collaborative statisticians and data scientists, providing research infrastructure for researchers, data producers, and decision-makers, and enabling evidence-based decision-making that has a positive impact on society. The research conducted at LISA 2020 focuses on practical methods and applications for sustainable growth of statistical capacity in developing nations.
