Information
We are pleased to announce The International Virtual Conference
on Advances in Statistics Honoring the Contributions of Barry C. Arnold in
Statistics Science. The conference will be held from Friday May 7 to Saturday
May 8, 2021 via video conferencing using Zoom (please register here in advance). It will
feature research topics inspired by the substantial contributions of Professor
Barry C. Arnold in areas including ordered data analysis, univariate
distribution theory, multivariate distribution theory, goodness-of-fit tests,
statistical inference, and statistical applications. The main objective of this
conference is to bring together researchers to discuss recent developments and
explore future directions on these topics.
This
conference is based on the volume entitled Advances in Statistics - Theory and Applications
Honoring the Contributions of Barry C. Arnold in Statistical Science
published by Springer. |
The arrangements for the conference are currently underway.
