4th Conference on
Extreme Value Analysis
Probabilistic and Statistical Models and their Applications
Gothenburg, August 15-19, 2005
Objectives
The Fourth International Conference on Extreme Value Analysis
will be hosted by the Stochastic Centre of Chalmers University
Gothenburg and by MaPhySto, The Danish Research Network for
Mathematical Physics and Stochastics.
The First Conference was held in Gothenburg (1998), the Second in
Leuven (2001), and the Third in Aveiro (2004). As in the
previous meetings, the 2005 meeting will schedule review
papers and original research on all aspects of risk and
extreme value theory and their applications. The emphasis will
be on probabilistic modeling, statistical analyses, and
applications in
· Demography
· Earthsciences
· Hydrology and Atmospheric Sciences
· Finance, Economics and Insurance
· Biosciences
· Physics
· Telecommunications and Stochastic Networks
· Material Sciences
It is the aim of the conference to bring together a wide range of
researchers, practitioners, and graduate students whose work
is related to the analysis of extreme values in a wide
sense. Topics of interest include:
· Classical extreme value theory
· Novel applications of extreme value theory
· Statistics of extremal events
· Heavy-tailed phenomena
· Large deviations
· Methods of risk analysis
· Stochastic processes for extremes
· Rare event simulation
· Multivariate extremes
· Dependence and extremes
· Spatio-temporal models
Software packages on extreme value theory and related fields will be
presented. See the announcement
here.
The conference will start on Monday, August 15, 2005, at 9 a.m. and end on Friday, August 19, 2005, at 4 p.m.
