Trends and Perspectives in Linear Statistical Inference

Müjgan Tez is a professor at the Department of Mathematics of the Marmara University in Istanbul, Turkey. Her research interests include nonlinear models, measurement error of nonlinear models, geometry of statistical models, variance and covariance analysis, mixed models and meta-analysis.Dietrich von Rosen graduated in mathematical statistics at Stockholm University, Sweden and is currently a professor at the Department of Energy and Technology of the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences. His main research interest is multivariate analysis and its extensions, including repeated measurements analysis and high-dimensional analysis.
