Current and Future Trends in Nonparametrics Conference 2007

将于2007年10月11日至12日举行一次关于“非参数统计的当前和未来趋势”的国际会议。会议由国家统计科学研究所共同主办。它将由国际知名研究人员举行四次全体会议。此外，还将举行8至12场主题会议，每场会议有4场特邀演讲。也将有为初级研究人员和研究生提供的会议。非参数统计方法是避免对科学研究中的潜在结构进行不切实际的假设的方法。普遍可访问的，强大的计算，以及大量的数据集产生的自动数据收集和遥感的出现，带来了非参数方法的统计理论和实践的最前沿。拟议会议的目标是提出一些最重要的非参数统计的最新进展，并讨论未来的研究方向。 预计会议将加速非参数统计重要领域研究人员之间的互动和合作，从而导致新的和更现代的非参数建模和推理方法的发展。

An international conference on `Current and Future Trends in Nonparametric Statistics' will be held October 11-12, 2007. The conference is co-sponsored by the National Institute of Statistical Sciences. It will feature four plenary talks by internationally prominent researchers. There will also be eight to twelve topic-orientic sessions, each session having four invited talks. There will also be contributed session for junior investigators and graduate students.Nonparametric statistical methods are methods which avoid unrealistic assumptions about underlying structures in scientific studies. The advent of universally-accessible, powerful computing, and also of massive data sets arising from automated data collection and remote sensing, has brought nonparametric methods to the forefront of statistical theory and practice. The goal of the proposed conference is to present some of the most important recent advances in nonparametric statistics and to discuss future research directions. The conference is expected to accelerate interactions and collaborations among researchers in the important area of nonparametric statistics, and thereby lead to the development of new and more modern methods of nonparametric modeling and inference.
