DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Lu Yang (UMN)\n\nAbstract: It has now been sixty yea
 rs since the introduction of copulas in 1959 by Sklar in the context of pr
 obabilistic metric spaces. Copulas are now a widely used tool in biomedica
 l applications\, finance and insurance for understanding relationships amo
 ng variables whose distribution cannot be approximated by a normal curve. 
 This presentation introduces copulas and shows how they can be used in reg
 ression contexts. I will also give a number of examples to illustrate how 
 copulas can be used.Lu Yang is an Assistant Professor in the School of Sta
 tistics at the University of Minnesota. She received her Ph.D. in Statisti
 cs from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 2017. Prior to joining UMN\
 , she was an Assistant Professor in Actuarial Science and Mathematical Fin
 ance at the University of Amsterdam. Her overarching interests are in the 
 development of statistical methodology motivated by insurance applications
 . Her current research focuses on multivariate analysis\, nonparametric es
 timation of copulas\, and regression model diagnostics\, especially with d
 iscrete and semicontinuous outcomes.\n\nhttps://indico.cern.ch/event/16355
