All lectures are expected to be streamed live online, through Zoom. Apart from traditional white-board lectures, there will also be computer classes to ensure a strong connection to empirical econometric modelling.
We will be following the book Econometric analysis: 8th Edition. W. H. Greene closely throughout the course. The exam will consist of a number of home assignment involving theoretical matters as well as empirical analyses. Students who have not yet applied to the course should do this asap, directly to the course coordinator (see contact info below).
The Department of Statistics at Uppsala University plans to give an introductory PhD course in philosophy of science in May-June and August-September 2019, see attached file.

The aim is to provide some theory concerning asymptotic methods of statistics and probability with applications to inference problems. Knowledge of measure theory is not needed. Basic convergence concepts and results (with proofs) such as the Lindeberg-Lévy central limit theorem should have been covered in previous courses.

Course Code:3FNA023 ECTS credits: 5 Level Doctoral course Course contents
The course will cover the following topics:
- an introduction to wavelet analysis
- the Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT)
- the Maximal Overlap DWT (MODWT)
- the wavelet variance, covariance, correlation and cross correlation
There will be three 3-days gatherings each comprising 18h of lecturing. The first meeting will take place in Växjö, 12-14 October, the second meeting will be held in Stockholm, 5-7 December and the third one is organized in Uppsala, 8-10 February.
Instructors who so far have agreed to participate are Thomas Holgersson, Björn Holmquist, Hans Nyquist, Dietrich von Rosen, Rolf Sundberg and Silvelyn Zwanzig. There will be another three so each meeting will be run by three instructors.
Teacher and examiner: Dan Hedlin, Department of Statistics, Stockholm University. .
Topic
We focus on design-based sampling with the Horvitz-Thompson and the generalised regression estimators. (Advanced Survey Sampling II will go further into model assisted estimation). The main course book is Särndal, Swensson and Wretman (1992); for part I we limit ourselves to Chapters 1-7. Although the focus is on design-based sampling we will put this inferential framework into some wider context.
We are happy to invite to the course on Longitudinal Data Analysis (3hp). The course is funded by GRAPES but all interested in Longitudinal Data Analysis can participate. The course will present material on Repeated Measurements, Mixed Linear Models, Generalized Linear Models, Model Validation and Data Analysis. All together the course comprises 12h lectures and 12h computer classes.
GRAPES will refund travel and accomodation costs for PhD students at Swedish universities.
In conjunction with the LinStat 2014 a mini-course (8h) entitled 'Survey sampling and linear models' will be held by professor Stephen Haslett, Massey University, New Zealand and professor Simo Puntanen, University of Tampere, Finland, August 23-24.
The course is sponsored by GRAPES and GRAPES will refund travel and accommodation costs for PhD students at Swedish universities.
