("Graduate") Seminar in Applied Statistics and Econometrics

Content

This seminar is intended to provide non-statistics graduates the opportunity to study a number of selected topics in applied statistics, and to practice how to go about understanding unfamiliar statistical methodology that they may encounter in the course of their research.
The specific research interests of participants will be taken into account in determining the choice of topics to be covered and could include themes in, for example, advanced time series modelling, resampling techniques, Bayesian methodology, the analysis of discrete data, generalized linear models, multivariate analysis, etc...
This will be a supervised reading course in which participants will be given material to read in order to present it to the class (in German and in English). The presentations should take 30-45 minutes followed by discussion.
