Analysis of High-Dimensional Data

Submitted by SuneK on December 22, 2011 - 12:48

Jönköping International Business School, February 16-17, 2012

Welcome to a workshop on high-dimensional analysis, in particular if you are a research student or are supervising some with an interest in high-dimensional problems. The main idea is that we should learn who is doing what in this very interesting area. We interpret high-dimensional analysis in a very broad sense.

Advanced Probability and Inference

Submitted by SuneK on December 15, 2011 - 16:13

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
  • Statistical tests (size and critical values, power, efficiency, asymptoti

Incomplete data: semi-parametric and Bayesian methods (Winter Conference)

Submitted by SuneK on December 22, 2010 - 14:45
Incomplete data is a common phenomenon in longitudinal studies based on surveys and/or population registers. In such studies individuals are followed through time and data may be incomplete due, e.g., to drop out/attrition (individuals intentionally leave the study, individuals leave the study because they move or die, etc.) and censoring (due to end of study, death, etc). Incomplete data may also arise due to selection mechanisms, for instance, in meta-analyses (publication bias) and causal inference in observational studies.
