OVERVIEW

A wide variety of practical problems involve "indirect observations", "filtered information" or "imprecise data". The fields include medical research, epidemiology, environmetrics, finance and reliability. Suppose that inferences on a population quantity associated with a random element y of the space Y are of interest but the available observations are realizations of another random element x, an element of the space X, where the spaces Y and X are not necessarily the same and x=F(y) with F a mapping from Y to X. Here F can vary from individual to individual.

The workshop will focus on examples of the above formulation. In particular, we will consider panel counts over time (interval-censoring), general panel data (area-censoring), regression with measurement errors,missing data, and misclassification, masked or aggregated outcomes. Alongside these general approaches of indirectly/incompletely observed data, we will consider theoretical developments in smoothing and data sharpening. We will also consider emerging issues in spatial data analysis, such as disease mapping with spatial aggregation and spatio-temporal modeling with changing boundaries of spatial aggregation.
