ECONtribute Research Workshop: High Dimensional Statistics: Theory and Applications

Dieser Workshop findet auf Englisch statt.

ECONtribute and the Hausdorff School for Mathematics invite to the High-Dimensional Statistics: Theory and Applications Workshop.

Many estimation problems in modern statistics are high-dimensional, that is, the number of parameters to be estimated is much higher than the number of available observations. High-dimensional estimation problems have received a lot of attention in recent years and a wide range of statistical tools have been developed to deal with them. Prominent examples are the Lasso, boosting algorithms, neural networks and their recent reincarnation in deep learning.

This Hausdorff School is intended for motivated graduate and  postdoctoral students who want to get acquainted with recent advances in the field of high-dimensional statistics. The lectures will give insight into the statistical methodology as well as the mathematical tools needed to analyze the methods.

Format:

The event is planned as hybrid. Please indicate in the application form whether you prefer online or in-person participation. Due to the current situation we cannot guarantee how many participants will be able to attend in presence.

Lectures:

• Kengo Kato (Cornell University, US)
