GRAPES Swedish Network for Graduate and Postgraduate Education in Statistics

The first GRAPES workshop will be arranged on August 11-12, 2010 at Örebro university. The purpose of the workshop is to provide graduate students the opportunity to present and discuss their work.

• Presentations by graduate students
• Invited speaker: Professor David Hendry, University of Oxford
  

The GRAPES workshop is open to graduate students and
faculty in Statistics and allied fields. Preference will be given to

Content

• Mathematical background (limits, series, order relations and rates of convergence, continuity, sets)
• Measure theoretic foundations of probability (probability triplets, random variables, independence, expected values, change of variable)
• Stochastic convergence (almost sure convergence, convergence in probability, convergence in distribution, laws of large numbers, central limit theorems, non-iid stochastic variables)
• Conditional probability and expectation
