TIES 2007 Conference

18th TIES is jointly organized by:

• TIES,
• Masaryk University, Brno
  • Department of Mathematics and Statistics, Faculty of Science (www.math.muni.cz/kam.html.en ),
  • Institute of Biostatistics and Analyses (www.iba.muni.cz),
  • Jaroslav Hajek Center of Theoretical and Applied Statistics (www.math.muni.cz/~zelinka/cjh/cjh-main.html ),
• Czech Statistical Society (www.statspol.cz ),
• Union of Czech Mathematicians and Physicists (www.jcmf.cz)

The conference is a satellite to the 56th Session of the International Statistical Institute, August 22–29, 2007, Lisboa, Portugal (www.isi2007.com.pt ).

This conference will follow the traditional TIES previous conferences. The main emphasis will be on computational environmetrics. This is to encourage the implementation of the new quantitative methodologies to important human and ecosystems health domains.

The following list provides the main topics of the conference:

• Computational biology
• Computational spatial processes
• Nonparametric methods in environmetrics
• Environmental and sustainable indicators
• Environmental monitoring (air, water, soil and biodiversity) and assessment
• Environmental health (human and the ecosystem health)
• Environmental sustainability
• Integration of environmental and biomedical data
• Analysis of extremes
• Environmental modelling (sensitivity and uncertainty analysis)
• Environmental and human risk assessment
• Computer intensive methods and/or computational problems for environmental statistics
• Renewable energy (wind, biomass, water, solar etc.)
• Spatio-temporal models to estimate disease risks (disease mapping)
• Robust methods
