Summer term 2026

For any questions regarding contents and organization, please get in touch via mail.

Links: Moodle (The page will be made accessible a couple of days prior to the first seminar.)

Description

The seminar will consist of student presentations about questions in mathematical statistics of infinite-dimensional statistical models and related topics. Some prior knowledge on mathematical statistics, e.g. Statistik 1, will be required, however, please simply get in touch when unsure whether this seminar is for you. The seminar will be in a block format with two initial sessions, a final presentations session and individual consultations in between. All further details and questians as well as assigning presentation topics will be discussed in the two initial seminar sessions.
