Researh stay in Rome

I spent July in Rome working with Prof. Tommaso Proietti on State Space methods and Unobserved Components Models. It has been quite a nice time there in many respects. Mainly because it was a very friendly and informal envirnoment to which it is easy to adapt, but also because we had many chances to speak about many things I was wondering about and getting a much deeper insight in many other points, thanks to Tommaso’s sharp points of view. There will be much work coming up in the next months related to this marvelous experience. Ah! I went with my family, what added a completely different view of this refreshing experince (though the weather was rather hot indeed!!).
