Australian Statistical Conference
in conjunction with the
Institute of Mathematical Statistics Annual Meeting
Dates & Venue: 7–10 July 2014; Australian Technology Park, Sydney, Australia
Delegates from all areas of statistics will join with world class Australian and International statisticians and mathematicians to develop, network and share their knowledge and expertise. In 2014 the Statistical Society of Australia will hold its biennial Australian Statistical Conference in conjunction with the IMS Annual meeting. The Conference will provide opportunities for presentations on a wide range of topics and recognises the role that statistics plays in all aspects of modern life.
The conference objectives are to:
- attract world class statisticians to share their knowledge and expertise;
- inform delegates about new work and developments in statistics, probability and mathematical statistics;
- provide an opportunity for professionals from all of these aforementioned areas to network, present and discuss ideas.
Topics of interest include: spatial statistics, bayesian statistics, computational and asymptotic statistics, sample surveys/methodology, stochastic/statistical modelling, biostatistics, multivariate statistics, probability, mathematical statistics, econometrics and financial statistics.
