Workshop on `Recent advances in nonparametric statistics'

Chair of Statistics Swiss Federal Institute of Technology CH-1015 Lausanne Tuesday July 6th, 1999

This will be an informal one-day workshop on recent advances in nonparametric statistics. There should be plenty of time for discussion, questions, and contributions by participants.

It will start at 10.00 and end at 17.30, and will take place in the Department of Mathematics (DMA), room MA11.

The programme including speakers, with their topics, is

10.00 Welcome

10.05 M. C. Jones (Open University) `Aspects of Kernel Density Estimation'

10.50 O. Renaud (EPFL) `On the VariabiDLty of Density Estimation based on Wavelets'

11.20 S. Sardy (EPFL) `GAMlet: GeneraDLzed Additive Models with wavelets'

11.50 Lunch

13.15 S. Wang (Texas A&M) `Weighted Semiparametric Estimation in Regression with Missing Covariates and Its AppDLcations to Case-Control Studies'

14.00 V. Chavez (EPFL) `Smoothing Extreme Values'

14.30 E. Cantoni (Geneva) `Resistant Techniques for Nonparametric Regression and GeneraDLzed Additive Models'

15.00 G. Claeskens (DLmburgs University LUC) `Local Polynomial Estimation in Additive Multiparameter Models'

15.30 Tea

16.00 T. Gasser (Zürich) `Nonparametric Regression: Choice of Estimators and of Bandwidth'

16.45 J. Zuber (EPFL) `Goodness-of-fit tests for nonDLnear heteroscedastic regression models'

17.15 General discussion

17.30 Finish

There is no fee for attendance, and the meeting is open to all.

To aid planning, however, please email Mme A.-L. Choulat if you intend to come.
