 stract\nAbstract: Clinical trials in the modern era are characterized by t
 heir complexity and very high costs. With the need to recruit hundreds or 
 even thousands of patients across multiple clinical sites and countries\, 
 conducting efficient and effective trials has become a major challenge.\nD
 esigning and forecasting clinical trial operations remains one of the most
  pressing challenges in modern drug development\, with inefficient patient
  enrolment being a leading contributor to costly delays. \nThis talk prese
 nts recent advances in analytic and statistical methodologies aimed at imp
 roving the predictability and efficiency of clinical trial operation.\nWe 
 introduce innovative data-driven technologies that are based on a rigorous
  and practical statistical framework (hierarchic stochastic models with ra
 ndom parameters) and enhance recruitment forecasting by accounting for key
  sources of uncertainty\, including variability in site activation timelin
 es\, heterogeneous enrolment rates across sites\, and temporal stochastici
 ty. These models enable dynamic\, stage-specific projections that better a
 lign operational plans with real-world trial behavior.\nA framework for op
 timizing cost-efficient recruitment strategies through intelligent site an
 d country selection is also presented. This methodology incorporates opera
 tional constraints such as regional enrolment caps and costs to balance fe
 asibility and resource allocation.\nInterim reforecasting approaches that 
 leverage accumulating data to adaptively adjust recruitment plans are disc
 ussed with the goal of achieving the probability of meeting enrolment mile
 stones. Additionally\, statistical techniques for centralized monitoring a
 re introduced to identify atypical performance patterns\, flagging under- 
 or over-performing sites and informing operational interventions.\nThe tal
 k also covers methods for forecasting key operational metrics critical to 
 trial planning and oversight—such as projecting event accrual in oncolog
 y trials. \nThe utility of these approaches is demonstrated using various 
 case studies that illustrate their application in complex\, global clinica
 l programs and show how these advanced tools are reshaping clinical trial 
 operations\, cost management\, and ultimately improved outcomes.Collective
 ly\, these innovations can significantly improve trial predictability and 
 efficiency and accelerate the drug development process.\nOur research work
  "Forecasting and cost-efficient designing restricted enrolment in clinica
 l trials" was recognized by the 2025 Award for Statistical Excellence in t
 he Pharmaceutical Industry from the Royal Statistical Society and PSI (UK)

 parametric regression estimators for mixtures with varying concentrations<
 /a>\nby PhD student Daniel Gorbunov (Taras Shevchenko National University 
 of Kyiv) as part of Asymptotic Methods in Statistics\n\n\nAbstract\nFinite
  mixture models naturally arise in statistical analysis of biological and 
 sociological data. If the sub-population which a subject belongs to is not
  known exactly\, the distribution of its variables is a mixture of the sub
 -populations’ distributions. In the classical finite mixture models (FMM
 ) the concentrations of the components in the mixture (mixing probabilitie
 s) are the same for all observations. In a more flexible mixture with vary
 ing concentrations model (MVC)\, the concentrations are different for diff
 erent observations.\n\nRegression models are typically applied to describe
  dependency between different numerical variables of one subject. In the c
 ase of homogeneous sample there exist many non-parametric estimators of th
 e regression function\, such as the Nadaraya-Watson estimator (NWE) and lo
 cal linear regression estimator (LLRE). For homogeneous samples\, NWE demo
 nstrates an inappropriate bias in points where the regressor probability d
 ensity function (PDF) has discontinuity (jump points). For such a scenario
 \, the LLRE stands as a remedy\, having a significantly smaller bias.\n\nI
 n this talk\, we consider a modification of NWE (mNWE) and LLRE (mLLRE) fo
 r the estimation of the regression function of some MVC component. We will
  show that under suitable assumptions\, the modified estimators are asympt
 otically normal. Moreover\, the rate of convergence for the mNWE is differ
 ent at different points of continuity and discontinuity of the regressor's
  PDF respectively\, whereas the mLLRE preserves the same rate of convergen
 ce for both cases.\n

 istics\n\n\nAbstract\nEstimating stochastic linear systems using Impulse R
 esponse Functions (IRFs) is a fundamental problem with broad relevance acr
 oss multiple disciplines. IRFs describe how a system responds to external 
 inputs\, providing essential insights into system behavior and control. Su
 ch analyses have important applications in signal processing\, control the
 ory\, econometrics\, oceanography\, and related fields.\nIn this talk\, I 
 will focus on the estimation of IRFs for Single-Input Single-Output (SISO)
  systems. We consider a time-invariant continuous linear system driven by 
 zero-mean stationary Gaussian input processes. The aim of the study is to 
 develop a method for estimating the unknown IRF based on observations of b
 oth the system’s input and output signals. Our approach is based on a cr
 oss-correlogram estimator\, which computes the correlation between the inp
 ut and output processes. We establish conditions for asymptotic unbiasedne
 ss and consistency\, analyze the rate of convergence\, and propose a stati
 stical goodness-of-fit test for validating the estimated IRF. The theoreti
 cal results are supported by numerical simulations.\n

 part of Asymptotic Methods in Statistics\n\n\nAbstract\nThe talk focuses o
 n an algorithm for parameters tuning for radar-based sensing systems for m
 otion monitoring. The algorithm adapts parameters for better system perfor
 mance according to the estimated motion zone properties\, i.e. mean and ma
 ximum distance to objects and their velocities. A new approach for determi
 nation of radar height position and tilt angle is proposed and experimenta
 lly tested. The method uses radar measurement points cloud only and may be
  applied for optimization of distance and velocity ranges and reduction of
  artifacts. Error of tilt angle estimation is 0.7-1.6 degrees in range of 
 0-45 degrees. Height estimation error depends on moving object height and 
 is less than 1 m. The main goal of algorithm is estimation of motion zone 
 and corresponding adaptive change of radar-system configuration parameters
  for optimizing system's field of view and performance. The proposed appro
 ach may be used for indoor and outdoor motion detection and activity class
 ification in applications such as health diagnostics\, health monitoring\,
  surveillance\, occupancy sensing\, and automotive.\n

  University USA) as part of Asymptotic Methods in Statistics\n\n\nAbstract
 \nOptimizing cancer treatment will increasingly rely on close coupling bet
 ween experimental research and mathematical modeling. A central obstacle i
 n oncology is our incomplete understanding of how therapies reshape the tu
 mor microenvironment and how immune activity drives tumor regression. This
  gap is especially acute in aggressive cancers such as triple-negative bre
 ast cancer (TNBC)\, which lacks standard biomarkers and has limited treatm
 ent options. Our collaborative work develops a quantitative framework for 
 studying combined immune and chemotherapeutic interventions. Using a novel
  radiolabeled T-cell tracking approach\, we follow immunomodulation over t
 ime and use these measurements to guide the design of optimal therapy sche
 dules. In this talk\, I will present ordinary differential equation (ODE) 
 models of combination therapy dynamics and compare model performance with 
 and without T-cell data. I will also discuss broader directions for this w
 ork\, including extensions to organ-level analysis and the use of optimal 
 control methods to refine treatment strategies. By integrating experiment 
 and theory\, we aim to strengthen the predictive power of cancer treatment
  models and move toward more effective\, personalized therapeutic protocol

 ction\, and attain the slope variance c_2 g_2 / N\, where g_2 = 1 - gamma_
 3^2 / (2 + gamma_4) depends only on the skewness and kurtosis of the error
  law. The identity is one of estimating equations\, not merely of asymptot

  used in financial mathematics\, particularly for modelling interest rates
  and stochastic volatility. It includes several classical models\, such as
  the Cox–Ingersoll–Ross model\, as special cases.\n\nIn this talk\, we
  discuss the estimation of drift parameters in CKLS diffusion models based
  on continuous-time observations. We focus on the construction of explicit
  estimators using the method of moments and investigate their asymptotic p
 roperties. In particular\, we address strong consistency\, asymptotic norm
 ality\, existence of moments\, and convergence in L^p under suitable assum
 ptions. We also discuss the role of the model parameters in the asymptotic
  behavior of the estimators and illustrate the theoretical results with nu
 merical simulations.\n

 ise in statistical analysis of biological and sociological data. If the su
 bpopulation which a subject belongs to is not known exactly\, the distribu
 tion of its variables is a mixture of the subpopulations’ distributions.
  In the classical finite mixture models (FMM) the concentrations of the co
 mponents in the mixture (mixing probabilities) are the same for all observ
 ations. In a more flexible mixture with varying concentrations model (MVC)
 \, the concentrations are different for different observations.\n\nRegress
 ion models are typically applied to describe dependency between different 
 numerical variables of one subject. In the case of homogeneous sample ther
 e exist many nonparametric estimators of the regression function\, such as
  the Nadaraya-Watson estimator (NWE) and local linear regression estimator
  (LLRE). For homogeneous samples\, NWE demonstrates an inappropriate bias 
 in points where the regressor probability density function (PDF) has disco
 ntinuity (jump points). For such scenario\, the LLRE stands as a remedy\, 
 having a significantly smaller bias.\n\nIn case of the MVC\, we consider a
  modification of NWE (mNWE) and LLRE (mLLRE) for estimation of the regress
 ion function of a given component. Under suitable assumptions\, these esti
 mators are asymptotically normal\, which makes it possible to derive theor
 etically optimal bandwidths. However\, such bandwidths depend on unknown p
 arameters of the underlying distributions and therefore cannot be used in 
 practice.\n\nIn this talk\, we propose an empirical bandwidth choice for t
 he mNWE and mLLRE based on a modification of the nearest neighbour techniq
 ue. A simulation study shows that this approach performs satisfactorily co
 mpared with the theoretically optimal bandwidth\, as measured by the asymp
 totic mean squared error (aMSE) or the asymptotic mean integrated squared 
 error (aMISE).\n
