Advances and Challenges in Parametric and Semi-parametric Analysis for Correlated Data

This proceedings volume contains eight selected papers thatwere presented in the International Symposium in Statistics (ISS) 2015 OnAdvances in Parametric and Semi-parametric Analysis of Multivariate, TimeSeries, Spatial-temporal, and Familial-longitudinal Data, held in St. John’s,Canada from July 6 to 8, 2015. The main objective of the ISS-2015 was thediscussion on advances and challenges in parametric and semi-parametric analysisfor correlated data in both continuous and discrete setups. Thus,
