Theme Term on Recent Advances in Stochastics - 2005-2006

A series of seminars on Recent Advances in Stochastics will be taking
place at Carleton University, Fall and Winter terms, 2005-2006. These
theme terms, which are jointly sponsored by the Laboratory for Research
in Statistics and Probability and the School of Mathematics and Statistics,
are organized by Antal Jarai, and are built on a regular series of workshop style
seminars in Probability-Statistics

Starting on Friday, January 27, 2006 Miklós Csörgõ will give talks on
empirical, quantile, Bahadur-Kiefer, Vervaat and Vervaat-error type
processes, placing them in a historical context.

These talks by Miklos Csorgo will continue on consecutive Fridays,
whenever no other speakers are scheduled for that date.
