The 1st CRoNoS Workshop on Multivariate Data and Software will take place at the Poseidonia Beach Hotel, Limassol, Cyprus, 3-5 April 2018. A Spring Course on the same topic will be simultaneously held. The Workshop participants can freely attend the Spring Course tutorials. The conference is organized by CRoNoS COST Action (Cyprus University of Technology) and in collaboration with the Frederick University, Cyprus.

Those interested to organize a session should contact CRoNoS MDA 2018 for further information.

The conference aims at bringing together Early Career Investigators, who can apply for grants to attend the Spring Course, senior researchers and practitioners to discuss recent developments in multivariate methods and software for data analysis and applications. All topics within the broad interface of Multivariate Data Analysis and Software will be considered for oral and poster presentation. Topics includes, but are not limited to:

Clustering and Clasification Dimension reduction Linear Models Time Series Spatial statistics Data visualization Risk Analysis

Numerical methods Algorithms and Software Statistics in R Optimization heuristics Robust methods Matrix Computations Computational econometrics

Functional data analysis High-dimensional data analysis Bayesian methods Machine learning Mixture models Semi- and non-parametric modelling
