Summary
The EU-funded project SCouT deals with order selection and estimation of autoregressive and moving average terms in count time series models by integrating sparsity techniques with the method of composite likelihood estimation. The project aims to enhance the flexibility of time series models for counts and facilitate their application to data characterized by complex dependence structures. Challenging examples arise in the field of temporal and spatial analysis of public health data that will be the main application field of the project. SCouT is carried out under the coordination of the Ca' Foscari University of Venice, Italy and partnership of the Technical University of Dortmund, Germany.
