Info-Metrics and Nonparametric Inference
Month: November 2012
Date: November 17
Name: Info-Metrics and Nonparametric Inference
Location: University of California Riverside, Riverside, California.
Description
The one-day conference is organized jointly by the Info-Metrics Institute, American University, and the Department of Economics of University of California, Riverside. Interest in nonparametric estimation and inference goes back half a century but has rapidly increased recently (especially with recent advances in computing power) with many new directions of research that cover a vast range of applications in different disciplines. Ongoing research on information-theoretic estimation and inference methods is similarly inter-disciplinary, involving information theory, engineering, mathematical statistics, econometrics and the natural sciences. This one-day conference will explore recent advances in the area of nonparametric estimation and inference and in info-metrics, which may help current and future research combining nonparametric procedures with information-theoretic methods.
