Second Workshop of the ERCIM Working Group on
Computing & Statistics
29-31 October 2009, Grand Resort Hotel, Limassol, Cyprus
http://www.dcs.bbk.ac.uk/ercim09

All topics within the Aims and Scope of the Working Group Computing &
Statistics will be considered for presentation. The organization of
Tracks and suggestion of possible sessions within the framework of the
Working Group are strongly encouraged.

The following tracks are organized withing the framework of the
meeting:

o Computational Econometrics and Financial Time Series
o Fuzzy Statistical Analysis
o Optimization Heuristics in Estimation and Modelling
o Robust Analysis of Complex Data Sets
o Latent Variable and Structural Equation Models
o Statistical Signal Extraction and Filtering
o Statistical Algorithms and Software
o Small Area Estimation
o Matrix Computations and Statistics
o Mixture Models
o Time Series Modeling and Computation
o Statistics for Functional Data


Publication: Papers containing strong computational statistical, or
substantive data-analytic elements will be considered for publication
in a special peer-reviewed, or regular, issue of the Journal CSDA
(Computational Statistics and Data Analysis).

The CSDA is already planned for the 2009 the following special issues:

    1. Computational and Financial Econometrics.
    2. Small Area Estimation (SAE).
    3. Fuzzy Sets in Statistical Analysis.
    4. Statistical Signal Extraction and Filtering.
    5. Machine Learning and Robust Data Mining.
    6. Statistical Algorithms and Software.
