Brief description of the project
A research network in statistics between the Universities of KUL Leuven, UHasselt, ULB Bruxelles, UCL Louvain-la-Neuve (Belgium), UJF Grenoble (France) and RWTH Aachen(Germany). The table below lists the names of the promotors of each research team involved.
Partners
The research network contains 5 Belgian research groups and 4 European partners.
| Partner | Type | Promotor |
|---|---|---|
| Université catholique de Louvain (UCL) | Coordinator | Prof. Léopold Simar and Prof. Ingrid Van Keilegom |
| Katholieke Universiteit Leuven (KUL-1) | Associated Partner | Prof. Paul De Boeck |
| Katholieke Universiteit Leuven (KUL-2) | Associated Partner | Prof. Emmanuel Lesaffre |
| Universiteit Hasselt (UH) | Associated Partner | Prof. Noël Veraverbeke |
| Université Libre de Bruxelles (ULB) | Associated Partner | Prof. Marc Hallin |
| Aachen Technical University (RWTH) | European Partner | Prof. Hans Hermann-Bock |
| Université Joseph Fourier (UFJ-LMC-IMAG) | European Partner | Prof. Anestis Antoniadis |
Other participating research units in Belgium are located at the FUNDP Namur (Jean-Paul Rasson and colleagues) and the RUG Gent (Els Goetghebeur and colleagues).
Workpackages
The research project focuses on statistical techniques for dealing with complex problems and/or complex data structures. The project is organized around six work packages. Cross-links between
the work packages are a crucial issue in the network.
For each work package the are main collaborations between two or three partners, and further contributions from other partners in the network.
For each work package one partner has been assigned as a coordinator for that package. The table below lists the various work packages and the main contributing partners (an asterisk indicating the coordinating partner) :
| Work Package (WP) | Main partners |
|---|---|
| WP1: Functional estimation | UCL*, ULB, UJF |
| WP2: Time series | ULB*, UCL |
| WP3: Survival Analysis | UH*, UCL |
| WP4: Mixed Models | KUL-2*, KUL-1, UH |
| WP5: Classification and latent variables | KUL-1* , KUL-2*, RWTH |
| WP6: Incompleteness and latent variables | UH*, KUL-1 , KUL-2 |
