At the same time\, statistical theory tells us that ‘black-box’ use of likelihood inference can be very sensiti ve to the dimension of the parameter space\, the structure of the paramete r space\, and measurement error in the data. This has been recognized for a long time\, and many alternative approaches have been suggested with a v iew to preserving some of the virtues of likelihood inference while amelio rating some of the difficulties. In this talk I will discuss some of the w ays that likelihood inference can go wrong\, and some of the potential rem edies\, with particular emphasis on model misspecification.\n\nPLACE\n Hybr ide - UQAM Salle / Room PK-R605\, Pavillon Président-Kennedy\n \n  \n\n\n \n \n \n Lien ZOOM Link\n \n \n \n\n DTSTART:20250425T193000Z DTEND:20250425T203000Z SUMMARY:Nancy Reid (University of Toronto) URL:/mathstat/channels/event/nancy-reid-university-tor onto-365042 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
