#### Latent non-Gaussian models and efficient estimation using variational Bayes

Latent Gaussian models (LGMs) are perhaps the most commonly used class of models in statistical applications. Nevertheless, in areas ranging from longitudinal studies in biostatistics to geostatistics, it is easy to find datasets that contain inherently non-Gaussian fea...

#### Extreme value statistics born out of domains of attraction

Extreme value statistics is essentially concerned with the modelling of rare events which are hard to predict and occur with only little warning. In this talk, I will address a number of challenges highlighted in the literature and how these align with the domain of att...

#### Some stability criteria in the periodic prey-predator Lotka-Volterra model

In this talk, we present some stability results in a classical model concerning population dynamics, the nonautonomous prey-predator Lotka-Volterra model under the assumption that the coefficients are $T$-periodic functions \label{sysLV}\left\lbrace \beg...
