This episode features a number of interviews from the recent Royal Statistical Society International Conference from last month. Today's guests include, Amy-Jayne McKnight who is discussing the challenges associated with genomic data. We consider how data is captured, processed, and then analysed and AJ outlines the challenges presented by sources of variability. Then, Lancaster University’s Harry Spearing about the application of extreme value theory to the ranking of Olympic swimmers, as well as ranking in sports more generally.
