ROC2025: International Workshop on Roc Analysis

The ROC2025 Workshop, organized by SiDOR research group and the Department of Statistics and Operations Research of the Universidade de Vigo from January 22 to 24, 2025, is an international meeting focused on ROC Analysis and Related Topics, uniting top researchers and practitioners.

The congress will take place at Escola de Enxeñería Industrial – Sede Cidade, Vigo (Address: Rúa Torrecedeira 86, 36208 Vigo, Spain)

What is ROC2025?

The conference will meet in Vigo international experts to share their knowledge and present their current contributions and lines of research, including estimation and inferential methods for ROC curves, covariate modelling in the ROC context, evaluation of markers, assessment of classification procedures, selection of cut-off points, etc.

Speakers and Contributions

Prominent experts, including Dr. Peter Filzmoser (compositional data), Prof. Matías Salibián-Barrera (robust regression), and Prof. Ricardo Maronna (multivariate methods), will present advances shaping the field.

How to Participate?

Participants can submit abstracts by December 15, 2024, and join discussions on statistical innovations. Take care that a limited number of contributed presentations will be allowed, PhD students and early-stage researchers are particularly welcome.

Send your abstract to roc2025@uvigo.gal before the deadline!.

Registration

The participation in the workshop is free of charge and open to any national and international participants. However, registration is compulsory for organizational reasons. If you intend to come to the workshop, send an e-mail to roc2025@uvigo.gal before January 10, 2025.
