Dear list members, we would like to turn your interest to the Spatial Copula Workshop held at the Institute for Geoinformatics in Münster on 22nd and 23rd September 2014. The program is now settled but joining the audience in talks and discussions is still possible.
Please find further details on the workshop at: http://blogs.ifgi.de/SpatialCopulaWorkshop Copula based models have been developed for various spatial applications in recent years. In hydrology, copulas are for instance used to model dependencies among storm variables or to interpolate precipitation across space. Copulas can be found as well in weather prediction, interpolation of radioactive radiation, air quality assessments, disease mapping, or risk evaluation of infectious disease. Some of these models are based on classical multivariate elliptical copulas with the Matern class of spatial dependencies, while other allow for the more flexible class of vine copulas. This workshop aims at gathering researchers across different domains developing and using spatial copulas. During these two days recent theoretical developments of spatial copulas and their applications will be presented and discussed. This exchange of ideas will contribute to the future development of spatial copulas for many application scenarios and provides opportunities for collaboration in this exciting and fast-growing research topic. The spatial copula workshop is a fork of a series of vine copula workshops (see www.vine-copula.org) and a join with the wide field of spatial statistics.
