The goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers in graphical models and explore the strong algebraic connections present in their analysis, with a focus on conditional independence. [weiterlesen]

Realistic big data analyses require statistical models accounting for dependence. The class of vine copulas (vine-copula.org) has been shown to capture flexibly dependence patterns with tail dependence and asymmetry. Vine copulas significantly extend the Gaussian copula. This two day workshop is devoted to theoretical and methodological advances in vine copula models, including estimation, model selection, simulation, statistical learning, and survival models. Another focus is to showcase important applications in… [weiterlesen]
