ORGANISER PICH Event Management Pte Ltd EVENT OWNER /TITLE SPONSOR OCBC Bank SANCTIONING BODY Singapore Cycling Federation OCBC Cycle 2019 offered 6,800 participants a chance to bond with friends and family at annual cycling !esta. Supporting Singapore’s drive to waste less, OCBC Bank put its signature OCBC Cycle 2019 event through a rigorous green audit process – and became the !rst sports event here to earn the Singapore Environment Council’s Eco Event certi!cation with green innovations such as pairing with their sponsor, F&N, on recycling projects and by tagging event participation to planting of trees. The green label is intended to recognise events in Singapore that take proactive steps to use less and green more, benchmarked against a set of stringent environment compliance guidelines. The certi!cation is the latest validation of OCBC Bank’s on-going push to create a positive environmental impact. As part of that push, OCBC Bank committed to plant one tree for every 50 cyclists who registered for OCBC Cycle 2019. As a result, 140 trees were planted on 1 June 2019 at Dairy Farm Nature Park. In a !rst for a sporting event in Singapore, single-use plastics were eliminated from the event pack collection process. Through SINGAPORE SPORTS AWARDS 2020 AWARDS SPORTS SINGAPORE careful planning, the organisers managed to prune almost 40,000 unnecessary items – from bubble wrap to ziploc bags – compared 13 to previous editions of OCBC Cycle.

  • On Brownian Motion Approximation of Compound Poisson Processes with Applications to Threshold Models
    ON BROWNIAN MOTION APPROXIMATION OF COMPOUND POISSON PROCESSES WITH APPLICATIONS TO THRESHOLD MODELS Dong Li, Shiqing Ling, Howell Tong and Guangren Yang Tsinghua University, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, University of Electronic Science and Technology of China and London School of Economics and Political Science, and Jinan University Compound Poisson processes (CPP) constitute a fundamental class of stochastic process- es and a basic building block for more complex jump-diffusion processes such as the L´evy processes. However, unlike those of a Brownian motion (BM), distributions of functionals, e.g. maxima, passage time, argmin and others, of a CPP are often intractable. The first ob- jective of this paper is to propose a new approximation of a CPP by a BM so as to facilitate closed-form expressions in concrete cases. Specifically, we approximate, in some sense, a se- quence of two-sided CPPs by a two-sided BM with drift. The second objective is to illustrate the above approximation in applications, such as the construction of confidence intervals of threshold parameters in threshold models, which include the threshold regression (also called two-phase regression or segmentation) and numerous threshold time series models. We con- duct numerical simulations to assess the performance of the proposed approximation. We illustrate the use of our approach with a real data set. 1. Introduction. In many statistical problems, especially those associated with change points, we often have to derive the distributions of functionals

Congratulations to all of you for the outstanding performance at the Rio 2016 Olympic and Paralympic Games! In Rio, we witnessed several monumental achievements – a first ever Gold medal from Joseph Schooling at the Olympics; two Gold medals from Yip Pin Xiu and a Bronze medal from Theresa Goh at the Paralympics. This was the most successful Olympic and Paralympic Games in the history of Team Singapore. You have certainly done Singapore proud on the world’s biggest sporting stage. Beyond these achievements, I also want to commend everyone for your strong effort. Qualifying for the Olympics or Paralympics is itself an extraordinary achievement. It takes years of hard work, commitment and perseverance to train, and ultimately, compete against the best athletes in the world. I had the opportunity to meet and interact with some of you during your training sessions earlier this year. What I sensed then was your tremendous determination to do your best, and do Singapore proud in Rio. It is this strength of character in each and every one of you which embodies the spirit of the Games, and continues to inspire all of us.
