The event will take place on Belval campus and is organised under Covid-Check.

Presentation

In his talk, Mark Podolskij will present the challenges in high dimensional statistics and some new developments in the field. After the presentation of the main concepts and mathematical problems, he will focus on recent high dimensional theory for stochastic processes. Applications in finance will be discussed.
