APOLOGIES FOR CROSS-POSTING

First Announcement – Workshop
Probabilistic and Statistical Techniques for Cosmological Applications
Rome, June 5-7th 2013
Istituto Nazionale di Alta Matematica
http://www.mat.uniroma2.it/~marinucc/Workshop/Home.html

The aim of the workshop is to bring together researchers working in Probability, Mathematical Statistics and Cosmology/Astrophysics to discuss issues and methods of possible common interest. The workshop will favour informal discussions and cross-disciplinary interactions. In particular, the themes of the workshop include, but are not restricted to, the following topics:

- Random Fields on the Sphere: Isotropy, Gaussianity, Spectral Representations; 
- Statistical Analysis of Spherical Data; 
- Wavelets, Nonparametric Estimation, Image Reconstruction; 
- Geometric Methods, Excursion Probabilities, Multiple Testing; 
- Applications to Cosmological Data Analysis: CMB, Cosmic Rays, Gravitational Lensing.
