Multiwell Deconvolution (2014)
Journal Article
Cumming, J., Wooff, D., Whittle, T., & Gringarten, A. (2014). Multiwell Deconvolution. SPE Reservoir Evaluation & Engineering, 17(04), 457-465. https://doi.org/10.2118/166458-pa

In well-test analysis, deconvolution is used to transform variablerate-pressure data into a single constant-rate drawdown suitable for interpretation. It is becoming part of a standard workflow for exploration and appraisal well-test analyses and in... Read More about Multiwell Deconvolution.

A Bayesian shifting method for uncertainty in the open-hole gamma-ray log around casing points (2014)
Journal Article
Oughton, R. H., Wooff, D. A., & O'Connor, S. A. (2014). A Bayesian shifting method for uncertainty in the open-hole gamma-ray log around casing points. Petroleum Geoscience, 20(4), 375-391. https://doi.org/10.1144/petgeo2014-006

The wireline gamma-ray log is sensitive to open-hole conditions and, in particular, the diameter. This means that the log can jump at casing points. Although environmental corrections exist, they can fail at these points. We present a Bayesian method...

Time-weighted multi-touch attribution and channel relevance in the customer journey to online purchase (2014)
Journal Article
Wooff, D., & Anderson, J. (2015). Time-weighted multi-touch attribution and channel relevance in the customer journey to online purchase. Journal of statistical theory and practice, 9(2), 227-249. https://doi.org/10.1080/15598608.2013.862753

We address statistical issues in attributing revenue to marketing channels and inferring the importance of individual channels in customer journeys towards an online purchase. We describe the relevant data structures and introduce an example. We sugg... Read More about Time-weighted multi-touch attribution and channel relevance in the customer journey to online purchase.

Bayes linear sufficiency in non-exchangeable multivariate multiple regressions (2014)
Journal Article
Wooff, D. (2014). Bayes linear sufficiency in non-exchangeable multivariate multiple regressions. Bayesian Analysis, 9(1), 77-96. https://doi.org/10.1214/13-ba847

We consider sufficiency for Bayes linear revision for multivariate multiple regression problems, and in particular where we have a sequence of multivariate observations at different matrix design points, but with common parameter vector. Such sequenc... Read More about Bayes linear sufficiency in non-exchangeable multivariate multiple regressions.

Practical statistical methods for call centres with a case study addressing urgent medical care delivery (2014)
Journal Article
Wooff, D., & Stirling, S. (2015). Practical statistical methods for call centres with a case study addressing urgent medical care delivery. Annals of Operations Research, 233(1), 501-515. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10479-014-1529-2

Our interest is in forecasting for call centres, and in particular out-of-hours call centres (OOHCC) which deal with patient requests for medical advice outside normal working hours. Planning needs accurate forecasts of incoming call volumes. These v... Read More about Practical statistical methods for call centres with a case study addressing urgent medical care delivery.
