**12/03/08 - 15h** Ciclo de Palestras Pós Graduação em Estatística UFRJ

["Alexandra M. Schmidt" <alex@im.ufrj.br>]

Caros, 

Estamos iniciando o Ciclo de Palestras do Programa de Pós-Graduação em
Estatística do IM-UFRJ. 

Teremos, nesta 4a feira, 12/03, excepcionalmente as 15:00h o

Palestrante:  Pasquale Valentini (Pescara)

Titulo: "Reduced rank regression and its applications in spatial and 
stochastic frontier analysis"

Local: Sala C-116, Centro de Tecnologia, Cidade Universitária.

Resumo:
The talk considers the general model of reduced rank regression (RRR). RRR 
is useful to model the asymmetric linear relationship between two sets of 
predictants and predictors. Sometimes there is a need to reduce the number 
of parameters in the multivariate regression model imposing constraints on 
the rank, r, of the matrix of coefficients. A special case of interest is 
when r=1, which allows for the discussion of a model with applications in 
multi-output stochastic frontier analysis and spatial regression models. 



Atenciosamente,

Alexandra
