Project description
One key aim of statistics is to analyse the dependence and association present in a dataset. The data that are collected nowadays to analyse these dependence structures, are often of a complex nature and also the research questions are of an ever increasing complexity. This requires the construction of new models, or the adaption of existing models, which is a challenging task.
