We invite you to a seminar on Predictive Modeling: Methods and Applications, with guest speaker Prof. Vladimir Spokoiny.
When: August 27, 2015, 13.30 – 15.00
Where: Room 423, TROC-3
Seminar Abstract
The talk explains some methods of modeling and production for complex systems based on the idea of structural adaptation.
The unknown structure of the underlying model is recovered from the data and used for its estimation, modeling, and prediction.
The methods are illustrated by several applications: medical fMRI imaging, pharmacokinetics, DNA analysis, clustering and classification, cognitive studies, pricing of American options, among others.
