[Second announcement - Deadline for registration: 5th May]
[Sorry for cross-postings]
The young researchers of the Institute of Statistics, Université catholique
de Louvain, Belgium, are pleased to announce a workshop on
"Synchronisation and Shape Analysis in Biostatistics"
to be held in Louvain-la-Neuve (Belgium), on MAY 19, 2003 (14h00-17h30).
=========
Program
=========
In many different fields of application like biostatistics or chemometrics,
repeated measurements often arise. These repeated measurements can come
from the observation of an underlying continuous signal such as is the case
with electroencephalograms, electrocardiograms, blood pressure profiles,
etc. Such data can be analysed using Functional Data Analysis. This allows
the synchronisation of the observed curves, even with very complex signals.
Pertinent strategies to analyse such synchronised curves must be developed.
Statistical analysis of curves can focus on simple comparisons of some of
its characteristics like the area under the curve (AUC), its maximum or
minimum in some time interval, or on any other meaningful feature. The goal
of this afternoon is to share experiences dealing with this kind of data,
present different approaches and to have a general overview of the
synchronisation and analysis of synchronised curves through some practical
examples in chromatography and biostatistics.
