ECAS: 
EUROPEAN COURSES IN ADVANCED STATISTICS

REGRESSION QUANTILES AND APPLICATIONS

In 1987, statisticians from five countries (Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, and the Netherlands) decided to organize every second year a one-week course devoted to a specialized topic in statistics.  After France, Germany, Italy (twice), the Netherlands, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom, the course will be organized in Belgium for the first time in September 2005.

The course focuses on regression quantiles and their applications.  The lectures (in English) will be given by Siegfried Heiler, Roger Koenker, Ivan Mizera, and Bas Werker.  Intended audience includes graduate and doctoral students, and researchers from the academic world as well as from industry.

The course takes place in the Domaine de Floréal at La Roche en Ardennes from Monday, September 12 through Friday, September 16, 2005.

All the information is available on the webpage at http://www.ulb.ac.be/soco/lmtd/ecas2005 .

Note that the deadline for applications, initially fixed to May 31,2005 has been delayed to June 24, 2005.
