OxTalks is Changing
On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
A New Parametrization of Correlation Matrices
For the modeling of covariance matrices, the literature has proposed a variety of methods to enforce the positive (semi) definiteness. In this paper, we propose a method that is based on a novel parametrization of the correlation matrix, specifically the off-diagonal elements of the matrix logarithmic transformed correlations. This parametrization has many attractive properties, a wide range of applications, and may be viewed as a multivariate generalization of Fisher’s Z-transformation of a single correlation.
