The XIIIth international conference

Abstract

Since 1981, the aim of ASMDA has been to serve as an interface between Stochastic Modeling and Data Analysis and their real life applications such as business, finance and insurance, management, production and reliability, biology and medicine. The 2009 Symposium ASMDA-2009 took place in Vilnius, Lithuania. The subject of papers of Proceedings covers topics and streams in order to overview trends and gain a common attitude towards methodological approaches: Poisson, Markov, semi-Markov processes, point processes, martingales, diffusion and Poisson approximations, asymptotic models and weak convergences, hidden Markov and semi-Markov processes, fitting models for data, reliability and survival analysis, computation-intensive methods in insurances, functional data analysis, discriminant and regression Analysis, advances in clustering analysis of complex data (incomplete, censored, missing, spatio-temporal, imprecise, fuzzy,...), stochastic modelling for classification problems, far-reaching applications in statistice, limit behaviour of stochastic processes and applications, mixture models and probabilistic approach to clustering, multidimensional scaling, multi-way data analysis, stochastic modelling for health care, stochastic modeling and applications, as well as, special tecniques and algorithms: neural networks, support vector mashines, data and text mining, statistical inference for stochastic processes.
