The work intends to bring top and junior researchers together to define and expand the frontiers of statistics. It provides a focal venue for top and junior researchers to gather, interact and present their new research findings, to discuss and outline emerging problems in their fields, and to lay the groundwork for fruitful future collaborations. A distinguished feature is that all topics are in core statistics with interactions with other disciplines such as biology, medicine, engineering, computer science, economics and finance. Topics include:
The workshop also serves advanced graduate students and young researchers looking for new topics to work on and experienced researchers who hope to gain an overview of contemporary developments in statistics. The workshop is held on the occasion of the 65th birthday of Professor Peter J. Bickel, one of the most celebrated statisticians of our time. A book on the ``Frontiers of Statistics'' is expected to be published based on the topics presented on the workshop. The book will map the frontiers of the various disciplines in statistics and provide useful references on the latest developments in each subject. It will also be helpful to both new and experienced researchers willing to gain a bird's-eye view of the various frontiers of statistics, and published in celebration of Professor Peter J. Bickel's 65th birthday. |
