[Forum SIS] UNIBO Statistics Seminars

[Silvia Cagnone]

We are glad to announce the following  Statistics Seminar:


Monday, June 12, 2.00 pm


Room III, via delle Belle Arti 41, Bologna


Peter Jupp (University of St. Andrews)


Geometry and Statistics: surprisingly interesting?



Abstract: Directional data involve observations that are typically unit vectors in the plane or in 3-space, or rotations of some Euclidean space. This gives the topic a nice geometrical flavour. In this talk I aim to show what fun this is by introducing problems arising in learning , earthquakes and crystals, and presenting solutions involving Euclidean spaces and rotation groups.



Contact person: Alessandra Luati
