Statistical Advances in Time Series Modeling and Their Applications
Conference
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.
