Dear S-PLUS User,
Would you like to visit Amsterdam AND extend your knowledge on risk
management? Well, this is your opportunity to enter a special course
with a visit to one of the most beautiful cities of Europe.
We are most pleased to present to you the special two-day course
"Quantitative Financial Risk Management" by Dr. Alexander McNeil.
Dr. Alexander McNeil, of the ETH (Swiss Federal Technical University)
in Zurich, is an internationally recognized authority in this field
and author of the extreme value analysis software (EVIS) written in
S-PLUS.
The course aims to provide risk managers with a better understanding
of quantitative tools for modern financial risk management. Whenever
appropriate, theory will be illustrated by practical examples developed
in the powerful S-PLUS environment, although prior familiarity with
S-PLUS will not be assumed and the course may be followed by non-users
of S-PLUS.
The central technical issues are volatility, extremes, correlation,
and the advanced statistical methods required to model these
phenomena. Financial risk management confronts us with a real world
of heavy-tailed risks, rapid changes and complex interdependencies
which force us to go beyond standard statistical models and
simplifying assumptions of normality to develop more sophisticated
methodology.
More information on the content of the course can be found at:
http://www.candiensten.nl/english/cursussen/cursussendetail.asp?id=29
The course will take place in the atmospheric Park Hotel in the
center of Amsterdam (15 min.'s of the Airport) on March 7-8, 2002.
For hotel reservations we are most happy to assist you.
