Piercesare Secchi – författare

This proceeding volume will contain a collection of peer-reviewed articles arising from the Data Research Camp 2022. The workshop took place on July 12–15, 2022, at the Venice International University, in the venetian island of San Servolo. The Data Research Camp has been a stimulating experience bringing together 28 early-career researchers in statistics and seven international professors with the common task of developing novel statistical methods for complex brain imaging data. The workshop was motivated by the recent advancements in miniaturized fluorescence microscopy that have made it possible to collect complex data on neuronal responses to stimuli in awake behaving animals. Several ongoing challenges are related to this novel technology including the deconvolution of the temporal signals to extract the spike trains from the noisy calcium data, the estimation of neuronal activation intensity distribution, the spatio-temporal dependence or covariate effect estimation, among others.

The book is addressed to statisticians working at the forefront of the statistical analysis of complex and high dimensional data and offers a wide variety of statistical models, computer intensive methods and applications: network inference from the analysis of high dimensional data; new developments for bootstrapping complex data; regression analysis for measuring the downsize reputational risk; statistical methods for research on the human genome dynamics; inference in non-euclidean settings and for shape data; Bayesian methods for reliability and the analysis of complex data; methodological issues in using administrative data for clinical and epidemiological research; regression models with differential regularization; geostatistical methods for mobility analysis through mobile phone data exploration. This volume is the result of a careful selection among the contributions presented at the conference "S.Co.2013: Complex data modeling and computationally intensive methods for estimation and prediction" held at the Politecnico di Milano, 2013. All the papers published here have been rigorously peer-reviewed.
