Antonio Canale is associate professor of Statistics at the Department of Statistical Sciences of the University of Padova (Italy). His research covers Bayesian parametric and nonparametric methods, factor analysis, functional data analysis, both from the methodological and applied viewpoints. He is the author of a number of papers on methodological and applied statistics, and has served on the scientific committees of national and international conferences.

Alessandra Luati is Professor in Statistics at the Department of Mathematics of Imperial College London (UK) and at the Department of Statistics at the Alma Mater Studiorum University of Bologna (Italy). She has been Adjunct Professor at the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies (EU), Visiting Erskine Fellow at the University of Canterbury, Christchurch (NZ). Her main research interests are in mathematical statistics, time series analysis and non-linear dynamic models.

Stefano Mazzuco is full professor of Demography at the Department of Statistical Sciences of the University of Padova (Italy). His research mainly focuses on mortality, health and causes of death data analysis, using methods ranging from hierarchical models, functional and compositional data analysis and other methods. He has authored several articles both in demographic and statistical journals and has been part of the scientific and organizing committees of several national and international conferences.

Raffaella Piccarreta is Associate Professor of statistics at Bocconi University, and she is a fellow of the Dondena Centre and of the Bidsa centre at the same University. Her recent research interests focus on the analysis of longitudinal categorical data, on cluster analysis, and on the comparison of models for complex data.

Nicola Sartori is professor of Statistics and head of the faculty board of the PhD program at the Department of Statistical Sciences of the University of Padova (Italy) . His research covers likelihood and pseudo-likelihood methods, inference in the presence of nuisance parameters, higher-order asymptotics, computational statistics. He is the author of several papers on methodological and computational statistics.

Piercesare Secchi is Professor of Statistics at the Department of Mathematics, Politecnico di Milano, member of MOX, the departmental laboratory in modeling and scientific computing, and head of the faculty board of the Data Analytics and Decision Sciences PhD program.
