Invitation to the Mathematical Colloquium

Wednesday, April 30, 2025, Seminar Room A (R209), 5 p.m. s.t.

Prof. Dr. Thomas Kneib, Georg-August-University Göttingen, Campus Institute Data Science (CIDAS)

will talk about the topic:

"Rage against the mean-an introduction to distributional regression"

Abstract: Distributional regression models that overcome the traditional focus on relating the conditional mean of the response to explanatory variables and instead target either the complete conditional response distribution or more general features thereof have seen increasing interest in the past decade. In this presentation, we will focus on generalized additive models for location, scale and shape as a flexible and versatile tool for distributional regression. We will introduce the underlying methodology and illustrate its application in different case studies.
Furthermore, we will briefly review competing distributional regression approaches such as conditional transformation models and distribution regression, density regression, and quantile and expectile regression.

Starting at 16:30, there will be an opportunity for a discussion over coffee and tea in the library room (R110).
