Report
General Information:
The Euroworkshop on Statistical Modelling is a project which is sponsored by the European Commission ( CORDIS ) in the programme High Level Scientific Conferences. The workshop on Mixed Models was the first event in series of three workshops with the topics Mixed Models, Nonparametric Models and Model Diagnostics. The first event was also organized in cooperation with the Sonderforschungsbereich 386 at the Institute of Statistics, Ludwig-Maximilians-University Münich. To read more about entire project please follow this link. The series of workshops is also connected to the International Working Group on Statistical Modelling.
Topic:
In Mixed Models unobserved heterogeneity is modelled by random effects. This means that individual, latent effects are incorporated in a statistical model to mirror the reality. The Euroworkshop on Statistical Modelling - Mixed Models will focus on new theoretical developments, applications and computational issues of Mixed Models. Special emphasis will be given on bringing together different ideas, approaches and applications in biometry, economics and social science.
