Dear all,


we are pleased to announce that the third meeting of the StaTalk series will be held at Facoltà di Economia di Sapienza Università di Roma on September 9, 2016.

StaTalks are one-day workshops on statistical topics during which the hosting group introduces and overviews the main research interests of their members.

Aimed at Master’s and PhD students, as well as at post-docs and young researchers, StaTalks are intended to be informal gatherings which allow for a more proficient interaction between presenters and participants. They typically feature some introductory tutorials on the main workshop theme and a few seminars that overview more advanced research topics, still kept at an expository level. StaTalks are thus a great opportunity to become acquainted with the workshop main topic, as well as to share and update one's knowledge on the interface of Statistical research in an easy and informal atmosphere.
StaTalks are endorsed by Y-SIS (https://sites.google.com/site/youngsocietaitalianastatistica/), the young section of the Italian Statistical Society.

The topic of the third StaTalk will be on Computational Tools for Statistical Modelling. We will present and discuss both standard and new computational methods which represents fundamental tools for new challenging applications, such as economic, finance, genetic and official statistics.
