Mathematics student Joseph Wittrock worked as an intern in summer 2023 for the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center’s (ERDC) Construction Engineering Research Laboratory (CERL), which is charged with developing technologies to effectively and efficiently maintain DoD facilities.
The crescendo of the fall 2023 semester was the eagerly anticipated OSF-ISU Data Science Competition, titled “OSF 30-Day Readmission.” The competition, jointly supported by OSF and Illinois State, challenged 14 teams to create predictive models determining whether a patient discharged from OSF HealthCare would be readmitted within 30 days. The competition was intense, with six finalists emerging from a pool of strong contenders, boasting impressively close scores.
Through its new University Recognition Program, the Casualty Actuarial Society (CAS) has honored the actuarial program at Illinois State University with its highest level of recognition, Gold Level.
The College of Arts and Sciences (CAS) is excited to announce a new internal research grant opportunity—the Dean’s Research Challenge Grant. Full-time CAS faculty from all college divisions, including Visiting Professors and non-tenure track faculty, are eligible to apply. The Principal Investigator’s (PI) primary appointment must be in a CAS unit. Interdisciplinary teams are encouraged, and teams can have non-CAS members.
On November 14, Illinois State data science, mathematics, and statistics undergraduate and graduate students had an inspiring day at JUMP OSF in Peoria. They immersed themselves in data analytics, automation, and statistics.
A data science competition, called OSF 30-Day Readmission, aims to create a predictive model to predict whether a patient discharged from OSF HealthCare will be readmitted within 30 days.
