Welcome |
The field of statistics continues to offer profound contributions to many
branches of science, medicine, and industry. In the rapidly-evolving
information age, we have access to overwhelming quantities of data for the
study of complex phenomena. This creates both challenges and opportunities
for statisticians, and demands innovative and inventive statistical
methodologies. Although some research has been done on high-dimensional,
complex data, the field continues to evolve, offering a plethora of
promising research topics. Now is a critical time for the development of
deep, broad, and formal statistical theory and methodology; our field is in
a position to grow and make influential, invaluable contributions to society
at large.
This workshop will bring together some of the most prominent researchers in
the field. They will review the most important and influential statistical
advances in the comparatively short history of our discipline
while embracing the present and future challenges and opportunities for the
profession. The workshop will provide a venue for promising young
researchers to interact with these leaders of the field and each other,
presenting their new research, generating fresh ideas and leading to future
collaborations and discoveries.
