Program Description:
The goal of this workshop is to bring together a large group of internationally recognized experts as well as early career researchers working in different areas of multivariate dependence modelling to exchange ideas. The workshop will also help consolidate collaborations
for interdisciplinary researches.
The topics of interest to be discussed include recent advances in copula modeling and construction of flexible distributions for multivariate non-Gaussian data, with applications in actuarial and environmental science and finance, e.g., modeling a probability of default for a credit portfolio. Another important topic is modeling data with spatiotemporal dependence and time series data. Applications include modeling environmental data such as pollution levels in a certain geographical region, or predicting geohazard events, such as major landslides. A third topic deals with multivariate extremes, very rare events that affect large areas and may have a very significant impact on environment and economy, such as prolonged draughts or severe floods. Another very important topic is weather and climate modeling, including improved short-term and long-term forecasts. Other interesting topics include applications in astronomical sciences, variable selection methods and Bayesian methods for big data.
