Workshop on composite likelihood: programme
Invited talk (I): 40 min
Contributed talk (C): 20 min
Slides are made available here (for workshop participants only, using a password) for most of the talks, but not all. Workshop participants can also download the slides in one large zip file (6.5MB). Some authors indicated that they would prefer to be contacted directly rather than placing files here.
Abstracts for all of the talks can be found in the 
workshop booklet (PDF, 2MB).
