Applications of Heavy Tailed Distributions in Economics, Engineering and Statistics

June 3-5, 1999

Washington, DC, USA

Mathematics

Host: American University

Organizers: J. P. Nolan (American University), A. Swami (Army Research, Labs)

Description:
Heavy tailed distributions are being used in a large variety of problems in economics, finance, engineering, statistics, and other areas. It is evident that many important problems are poorly described by standard Gaussian models. This conference will draw together experts from a range of disciplines to describe the methods used to analyze such processes.

Speakers: Robert Adler (Chapel Hill and Technion), Gonzalo Arce (Delaware), Michel Dacorogna (Olsen/Zurich), Richard Davis (Colorado State), Francis Diebold (Wharton/U. Penn), Paul Embrecht (Zurich), Raya Feldman (Santa Barbara), Mircea Grigoriu (Cornell), Saleem Kassam (Penn State), Benoit Mandelbrot (Yale), J.H. McCulloch (Ohio State), Steve McLaughlin (Edingburgh), Chrysostomos Nikias (USC), Athina Petropulu (Drexel), Nalini Ravishanker (Connecticut), Sid Resnick (Cornell), Gennady Samorodnitsky (Cornell), Richard Smith (Chapel Hill), Murad Taqqu (Boston), Walter Willinger (Bell Labs), Edward Wegman (George Mason), Aleksander Weron (Wroclaw), Tong Zhou (Georgia Tech)
