Description:
The Eighth International Workshop on Matrices and Statistics will be held at the University of Tampere, Finland, on
Friday, August 6 and Saturday, August 7, 1999 (starting with a reception on the Thursday evening August 5). This
Workshop is a Satellite Conference of the 52nd Session of the International Statistical Institute (ISI) to be held in
Helsinki from Tuesday, August 10 through Wednesday, August 18, 1999.
The purpose of this Eighth Workshop is to stimulate research and, in an informal setting, to foster the interaction
of researchers in the interface between matrix theory and statistics. This Workshop will provide a forum through which
scientists working in the areas of linear algebra/matrix theory and/or statistics may be better informed of the latest
developments and newest techniques and may exchange ideas with researchers from several different countries.
Selected fully-refereed papers from this Workshop will be published in a Special Issue on Linear Algebra and Statistics
of Linear Algebra and Its Applications.
The Workshop will include invited and contributed talks. These talks and the informal workshop atmosphere will
guarantee an intensive exchange of ideas.
Speakers: The Keynote Speakers will be Professors, T. W. Anderson, Stanford University, USA:, "Reduced rank regression and cointegrated systems", C. Radhakrishna Rao, Penn State University, USA:, "Geometry of circular vectors and its applications to shape recognition"., Among the Invited Speakers are, T. Ando, Hokusei Gakuen University, Sapporo, Japan:, "Arithmetic-geometric means inequalities for matrices", Ronald Christensen, University of New Mexico, Albuquerque, USA, Gene H. Golub, Stanford University, USA:, "Inverting shape from moments", Seppo Mustonen, University of Helsinki:, "Recent developments in Survo", Alastair J.
