Con preghiera di diffusione tra tutti i possibili interessati, Cordialmente, Rosaria Simone -------------------------------------------------------------------- We are glad to announce the Summer School on “Latent Markov Models with Applications” Saturday- Wednesday, 16th-20th September, 2017 University of Milano-Bicocca, Milano “The course aims at developing your expertise and skills on the main basic theory of the latent Markov models for the analysis of longitudinal data. A deep insight of the underlying assumptions, which are based on stochastic processes will be provided. Basic and advanced parameterizations to formulate latent Markov models will be explained also when explanatory variables are available. The inferential procedures will be explained in detail both from a classical and Bayesian inferential perspective. Models for drawing inference from longitudinal and multilevel data will be considered with reference also to incomplete data. During the course, many case studies and applications will be presented by using some suitable R libraries.” Scientific Committee: Francesco Bartolucci - University of Perugia Alessio Farcomeni - Sapienza University of Rome Silvia Pandolfi - University of Perugia Fulvia Pennoni - University of Milano-Bicocca Application deadline: July 16th Application deadline for scholarship: May 31st Program and further information: UNIMIB website: *http://www.summerschoolbicocca.com/017-11-markov-models-course.php* <http://www.summerschoolbicocca.com/017-11-markov-models-course.php> Italian Statistical Society website: http://new.sis-statistica.org/ wp-content/uploads/2017/03/brochure_Milano_2017_-EN_last_v1.pdf ------------------------------ Rosaria Simone Ricercatore in Statistica Dipartimento di Scienze Politiche Università degli Studi di Napoli Federico II
