The aim of the conference is to bring together statisticians as well as researchers or postgraduate students working in research conditions not allowing the use of parametric statistics or for researchers handling qualitative variables. The theme of the seminar addresses different topics, such as the evaluation of medical, psychotherapeutic or pedagogical interventions or the study of factors fluctuating over time in economy.

The mathematical foundations and the conditions of application of some multi-dimensional non parametric procedures will be discussed, and the current evolution in this realm will be outlined. Configural frequency analysis (CFA), partial least squares (PLS) methods and dynamic factor analysis (DFA) will especially be stressed.

As to experimental designs, the holistic approach will be opposed to the reductionist one. The interest of some recent evaluation tools allowing making the link between qualitative and quantitative approaches will be demonstrated with the help of applications.

The conference will take place at the Limpertsberg Campus of the University of Luxembourg, and will be organised by the Applied Mathematics Unit of the Faculty for Law, Economics and Finance and the Laboratory of Clinical Psychology and Health Psychology of the CRP-Santé with the participation of the Mathematical Society of Luxembourg, the Society for Medical Sciences of Luxembourg and the Section of Sciences of the Institut Grand-Ducal.
