  • Proposal Description

    The use of time series models for multivariate data generally requires testing one or several
    fundamental assumptions. For example, one may wish to assess assumptions regarding the
    distribution of innovations through goodness-of-fit tests or verify stationarity through changepoint
    tests. From an applied perspective, testing serial independence between innovations or
    among time series is often necessary to determine whether a fitted model has adequately
    removed temporal dependence. Another important challenge is the detection of online changepoints,
    that is, identifying structural changes as new observations become available. This is
    particularly relevant for early warning systems in infectious disease surveillance, as well as for
    applications in finance and econometrics.
    The goal of this session is to present recent advances in statistical inference and testing for time
    series, including inference for multivariate time series, goodness-of-fit testing, and change-point
    detection.
    The invited speakers have made outstanding contributions to time series modeling and related
    applications across a range of domains.
