Si avvisa che il giorno venerdi 23 Marzo 2012 al 
Collegio Carlo Alberto, Moncalieri, si terra' il 

2nd CARLO ALBERTO STOCHASTIC WORKSHOP:

ALGEBRAIC STATISTICS IN ESTIMABILITY


Il workshop è organizzato dalla "de Castro" Statistics Initiative.


Abstract del workshop:
In the last decade, the use of algebraic and geometric methods in 
Probability and Statistics has led to relevant advances in 
Mathematical and Applied Statistics. The keyword Algebraic 
Statistics is used in particular to denote the special field of 
applications of modern Computational Commutative Algebra. For 
instance, Algebraic Statistics has been used first in non-parametric 
goodness-of-fit testing for complex models in contingency table 
analIsis. Generally speaking, Algebraic Geometry is a nice tool to 
describe the geometrical structure of statistical models for discrete 
data. Moreover, polynomial equations describe the structure of 
confounding for fractions in designed experiments.
The talks of this workshop will focus on a special feature of 
Algebraic Statistics, namely the problem of Estimability. In the talks, 
the speakers will discuss the Estimability problem in several 
different fields, from log-linear models for contingency tables to 
fractions of designed experiments, to mixture models.

La partecipazione e' gratuita, ma per esigenze organizzative è
necessario confermare la propria presenza entro il 15 Marzo 2012, 
mandando un'email all'indirizzo matteo.ruggiero a unito.it, con 
"Workshop registration" nell'oggetto del messaggio.


Cordiali saluti,
