P-splines Meeting 2015 
November 30th- December 1st 
BCAM - Basque Center for Applied Mathematics 

Aim: 

The aim of the meeting to present recent advances in smoothing methods using a common framework such as penalized splines (P-splines). The main core of the participants have been collaborating during the last 10 years in complex statistical problems in different fields such as mortality, demography, environmental modeling, biostatistics, Bayesian modeling and computational statistical methods. This year the meeting will be held at BCAM and hosted by Applied Statistics Group in collaboration with the Research Group in Biostatistics at the University of the Basque Country UPV/EHU. 

Main Topics: 

The main topics for discussion will be:

- Recent advances in spatial and spatio-temporal modeling.
- New computationally efficient multidimensional smoothing.
- Forecasting methods using P-splines.
- New challenges in flexible regression with application in bio-medicine.
- Bayesian methods.
- New open challenges in complex and Big Data.

On Tuesday 1st of December at 4pm a scientific seminar will be delivered by Dr. Alastair RUSHWORTH (University of Strathclyde, UK)
