[Statlist] Workshop on "Elicitability, Propriety and Related Topics", University of Bern, May 28 - 29, 2015

***Invitation***

Workshop for young scientists on "Elicitability, Propriety and Related Topics“ at the University of Bern, May 28 - 29, 2015.

One of the classical questions in statistical analysis is to make probabilistic or point forecasts about some unknown quantity. The notions of elicitability of a statistical functional, consistency of a scoring function or propriety of a scoring rule are of central importance in statistical decision theory and have gained more and more attention in the recent statistical literature.

We invite young scientists – especially PhD and postdoctoral students – from the heart of Europe to present their results in the field of 'Elicitability, Propriety and Related Topics'. The scientific and social program of the workshop as well as Bern as a World Heritage Site provide an inspiring atmosphere to get in touch with motivated colleagues, to discuss open problems and to find potential future collaborators.

Best regards,
Johanna Ziegel, Christoph Strähl and Tobias Fissler
