| Kurzbeschreibung | This course is a mixture between a seminar primarily for PhD and postdoc students and a colloquium involving invited speakers. It consists of presentations and subsequent discussions in the area of modeling complex socio-economic systems and crises. Students and other guests are welcome. | ||||
| Lernziel | Participants should learn to get an overview of the state of the art in the field, to present it in a well understandable way to an interdisciplinary scientific audience, to develop novel mathematical models for open problems, to analyze them with computers, and to defend their results in response to critical questions. In essence, participants should improve their scientific skills and learn to work scientifically on an internationally competitive level. | ||||
| Inhalt | This course is a mixture between a seminar primarily for PhD and postdoc students and a colloquium involving invited speakers. It consists of presentations and subsequent discussions in the area of modeling complex socio-economic systems and crises. For details of the program see the webpage of the colloquium. Students and other guests are welcome. | ||||
| Skript | There is no script, but a short protocol of the sessions will be sent to all participants who have participated in a particular session. Transparencies of the presentations may be put on the course webpage. | ||||
| Literatur | Literature will be provided by the speakers in their respective presentations. | ||||
| Voraussetzungen / Besonderes | Participants should have relatively good mathematical skills and some experience of how scientific work is performed. | ||||
| 401-4621-67L | Capita Selecta in Extreme Value Theory | 4 KP | 2V | P. Embrechts | |
| Kurzbeschreibung | In this course topics beyond one-dimensional Extreme Value Theory (EVT) will be discussed. Capita Selecta included are: multivariate extremes, EVT for stationary processes, point process methodology and max-stable processes. | ||||
| Lernziel | Students following this course will obtain an overview of modern EVT and be able to read and understand the more recent literature on the stochastic modelling of extremal events. | ||||
| Inhalt | Topics treated will include: - A brief overview of one-dimensional EVT - More-dimensional EVT - The point process approach - An introduction to max-stable processes - Some applications | ||||
| Skript | This is a blackboard course typically aimed at students in mathematics. | ||||

| Voraussetzungen / Besonderes | The ideal background for this course is 401-3916-60 V "An Introduction to the modelling of Extremes". At the start of the present course, a brief overview of the main results from the latter course will be given. A background in measure theoretic probability theory is expected. | ||||
