About this research
Project purpose: To facilitate the publication of map layers that students 2009-11 have contributed to the TKAM Atlas, and secondly to organise and analyse student feedback data related to their Atlas work, for publication in a journal article. http://www.victoria.ac.nz/Māori/research/atlas/default.aspx
The programme of work to be carried out:
1. Organise student map layer files into the Atlas; organise and systematise data and data processing procedures
2. Facilitate quality control of work submitted to the Atlas
3. Collate student work from Te Ika a Maru Bay archaeological site observations and prepare a report for the New Zealand Archaeological Association, and for the land owner
4. Verify karaka sites found and mapped by students around Wellington
5. Work with VUW web services to filter and prepare material for upload to the TKAM Atlas website
6. Data entry of student evaluation forms, analysis, comparison and presentation of the results
7. Work with touchscreen technologies (such as iPad) for the presentation of the Atlas locally
8. Perform a literature review of digital mapping in relation to student engagement
Day to day nature of the work: Mostly office and computer work, contacting (via phone and email) students, potentially some field-work around Wellington.
- Skills the student will learn
- Google Earth and ArcGIS,
- Image file processing for web publication,
- iPad applications,
- Data organisation,
- Data presentation

He tōnga kākano – The planting of the seed is a collaborative study of indigenous performative knowledge within a contemporary dance context.
The focus for this work is the ways in which whakapapa and Māori identity are integral to the expressions of indigenous (Māori) performative knowledge within haka theatre especially, and the wider context of contemporary dance.

I am currently at the final stages of writing up the thesis. The submission deadline for the thesis is 31st May 2018, which we are currently on target for. We plan to disseminate our research through two separate journal papers. The first paper is titled “Improving grid-based Bayesian methods using Low Discrepancy Sequences”, which will be submitted to the international journal “Bayesian Analysis”.
The second paper will be titled “The incorporation of physical barriers in a spatio temporal model of crime”, with the current aim of submitting this to the journal “Australian and New Zealand Journal of Statistics”. b. the innovations and significance of the work Statistical analyses of data using a Bayesian approach allows a researcher to combine prior knowledge about the phenomena being measured with the current data. Bayesian inference holds many advantages of more classical approaches to inference, but it has computational drawbacks.
