Course at EFI: Stochastic analysis





Research course at the European Forest Institute (EFI):

INTRODUCTION TO STOCHASTIC ANALYSIS WITH APPLICATIONS

Stochastic factors play an important role in forest management 
decisions. To improve the theoretical basis for stochastic 
analysis in forestry, EFI is arranging a 5-day course under the 
title "Introduction to stochastic analysis with applications". 
The course is application-oriented. Less weight will be put on 
rigorous mathematical proofs and more weight on understanding the 
basic features (although some mathematics is of course needed).

The symposium is aimed at PhD students and researchers of 
ecology/biology and resource economics. The lecturer is Professor 
Bernt Oksendal from the University of Oslo, who is a leading 
specialist in this field.

The following topics will be discussed :
1.  Ito-integral					
2.  Diffusions						
3.  Stochastic solutions of rand problems		
4.  Optimal stopping
5.  Stochastic optimal control
	
The course will take place on 7-11 March 1994 in the beautiful 
Koli national park and skiing resort, 70 km from Joensuu, 
Finland, in the heart of the boreal forest. 

The number of participants is limited to 15. The participation 
fee is 2000 FIM (about 300 ECUs), including board and lectures. 
If interested, please return the enclosed registration form 
by mail or E-mail to EFI no later than 10 December 1993.

The participants are encouraged to bring their own papers/ideas 
for comments and discussion on the course.
