[Forum SIS] Workshop on "Elicitability, Propriety and Related Topics", University of Bern, May 28 - 29, 2015

[Fabio Bellini]

Cari colleghi, inoltro da parte di Johanna Ziegel e del suo gruppo 
l'annuncio di questo interessante workshop:

>Workshop for young scientists on "Elicitability, Propriety and 
>Related Topics" at the University of Bern, May 28 - 29, 2015.
>
>One of the classical questions in statistical analysis is to make 
>probabilistic or point forecasts about some unknown quantity. The 
>notions of elicitability of a statistical functional, consistency of 
>a scoring function or propriety of a scoring rule are of central 
>importance in statistical decision theory and have gained more and 
>more attention in the recent statistical literature.
>
>We invite young scientists - especially PhD and postdoctoral 
>students - from the heart of Europe to present their results in the 
>field of "Elicitability, Propriety and Related Topics". The 
>scientific and social program of the workshop as well as Bern as a 
>World Heritage Site provide an inspiring atmosphere to get in touch 
>with motivated colleagues, to discuss open problems and to find 
>potential future collaborators.
