Point processes--theory and applications

The workshop has two objectives: first, to introduce young researchers to an exciting and broad research area at the interface between statistics and the sciences; second, to review the state of the field since the P.A.W. Lewis point process workshop in 1971. A lot of developments have taken place lately, particularly using the martingale theory of counting processes which has seen wide use in biostatitics. Statistical inference has been made easier by use of Markov chain Monte Carlo tools

Beyond the speakers, we will be aiming the workshop at young researchers (recent PhDs and senior graduate students).

The conference will be in honor of David Brillinger, who has spent most of his career working on scientific applications of point processes and time series.
