In honor of Peter Bickel's 65th birthday Biography of Bickel

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: 

Nonparametric inference and machine learning

Longitudinal and functional data analysis

Nonlinear time series, Financial econometrics

Computational biology, geomics and survival analysis

MCMC, Bootstrap, robust statistics

Experimental design and industrial engineering

       
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.
