DESCRIPTION:Dr. Matey Neykov (Princeton University) \nThis talk takes us o
 n a journey through modern high-dimensional statistics. We begin with a br
 ief discussion on variable selection and estimation and the challenges the
 y bring to high-dimensional inference\, and we formulate a new family of i
 nferential problems for graphical models. Our aim is to conduct hypothesis
  tests on graph properties such as connectivity\, maximum degree and cycle
  presence. The testing algorithms we introduce are applicable to propertie
 s which are invariant under edge addition. In parallel\, we also develop a
  minimax lower bound showing the optimality of our tests over a broad fami
 ly of graph properties. We apply our methods to study neuroimaging data.\n
