New Developments in Functional and Highly Multivariate Statistical Methodology

Abstract

The central focus of the workshop was on recent developments in statistical techniques for highly multivariate data and functional data. The programme delivered talks on state-of-the-art research in the area, with a number of talks on highly-dimensional multivariate settings as well as talks dealing with functional data. The talks were followed by lively discussions on how to tackle difficult issues in the statistical methodology for such complex data.
