Previous Events
The Department presents a series of regular colloquiums and seminars, engaging with universities and industry bodies around the world.
Proxy variables to common factors and parameter estimation in factor copula models
Thursday 04 April 2019
In this colloquium, Dr Pavel Krupskiy from the University of Melbourne discusses proxy variables to common factors and parameter estimation in factor copula models.
Strong laws under trimming – a comparison between iid random variables and dynamical systems
Friday 22 February 2019
Dr Tanja Schindler discusses 'trimming', i.e. removing the large entries of a sum of random variables. Trimming has a long tradition to prove limit theorems which are not valid if one considers the untrimmed sum – for example a strong law of large numbers for random variables with an infinite mean.
Statistics colloquium
Friday 15 February 2019
Associate Professor Paul Kabaila discusses the ‘tail method’ for constructing frequentist confidence intervals that utilize uncertain prior information.
