It's been 70 years since Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay summited Mount Everest. Since then hundreds of people attempt to climb the mountain each year. Many of those climbers are injured during their attempts. And during the 2023 climbing season 17 people died. Preparing for Everest takes years of training. Though there's disagreement among mountaineers about how to best prepare for the climb, statistics might be able to help and that's the focus of this episode of Stats and Stories with guest Moinak Bhaduri. Moinak Bhaduri develops change-detection algorithms for point processes through trend permutations and is an assistant professor with the Department of Mathematical Sciences, Bentley University. He heads the editorial board of the NextGen column of the New England Journal of Statistics in Data Science. Moinak’s research has found applications in computer science, finance, reliability and repairable systems, geoscience, and oceanography.
