First Conference of the International Society for NonParametric Statistics

一个为期5天的国际会议，“国际非参数统计学会第一次会议”计划于2012年6月15日至19日在希腊哈尔基迪基举行。然而，由于数据变得丰富，并且分析它们的计算能力通常是可用的，因此它在21世纪世纪变得更加突出。PI和他的合作者的目的是汇集来自美国的研究人员，欧洲和世界其他地区，以促进对非参数推断的研究，特别强调新兴领域，如：a）高维数据的非参数方法。B）Bootstrap，经验Likestive和相关方法。c）数据深度和相关的多元非参数方法。d）降维，模型选择和相关方法。e）非参数机器学习。f）高维混合和随机效应设计的非参数模型。g）经验过程和半参数。h）贝叶斯非参数。i）时间序列和计量经济学的非参数方法。j）空间过程的非参数方法。k）小波和非参数函数估计。l）非参数推断中的非标准渐近。会议的目的是促进非参数统计所有活跃增长领域的研究思想交流，从而适时地推动统计这一重要领域的发展。这也将是新成立的国际非参数统计学会的第一次会议，该学会的使命是“促进非参数统计的研究和实践，并通过会议、书籍和期刊出版物促进传播该领域的新发展。“ISBN有一个杰出的咨询委员会，其中包括R.Beran，P.Bickel，R.卡罗尔，D. Cook，P. Hall，W.哈德尔河约翰逊，B。林赛，E. Parzen，P.罗宾逊，M.罗森布拉特湾Pastas，T. SubbaRao和G. Wahba，以及由来自世界各地的50多位杰出研究人员组成的制图委员会。特别是，该计划将为初级和高级研究人员提供一个论坛，以获得与各自子领域领导者互动的宝贵经验，并在美国非参数统计研究人员与来自世界各地的研究人员之间建立新的合作。

A 5-day international conference,``The First Conference of the International Society for NonParametric Statistics'' is being planned to be held in Halkidiki, Greece, June 15-19, 2012.NonParametric Statistics is not a new subject. Nevertheless, it has become more prominent in the 21st century since data have become abundant, and the computing power to analyze them is generally available. The aim of the PI and his collaborators is to bring together researchers from the U.S., Europe and other parts of the world in order to foster research on nonparametric inference with special emphasis on emerging fields such as:a) Nonparametric methodology for high dimensional data.b) Bootstrap, Empirical Likelihood, and related methods.c) Data depth and and related multivariate nonparametric methods.d) Dimension reduction, model selection, and related methods.e) Nonparametric machine learning.f) Nonparametric models for high dimensional mixed and random effects designs. g) Empirical process and semiparametrics.h) Bayesian Nonparametrics.i) Nonparametric methods for time series and Econometrics.j) Nonparametric methods for spatial processes.k) Wavelets and nonparametric functional estimation.l) Nonstandard Asymptotics in nonparametric inference.The purpose of the conference is to facilitate the exchange of research ideas on all actively growing areas of nonparametric statistics, thereb giving the development of this important field of statistics a timely boost. This will also be the first conference of the newly formed International Society for NonParametric Statistics (ISNPS) whose mission is "to foster the research and practice of nonparametric statistics, and to promote the dissemination of new developments in the field via conferences, books and journal publications." ISNPS has a distinguished Advisory Committee that includes R.Beran, P.Bickel, R. Carroll, D. Cook, P. Hall, W. Hardle, R. Johnson, B. Lindsay, E. Parzen, P. Robinson, M. Rosenblatt, G. Roussas, T. SubbaRao, and G. Wahba, as well as a Charting Committee consisting of over 50 prominent researchers from all over the world. In particular, theprogram will provide a forum for junior and senior researchers alike to gain valuable experience interacting with leaders in their respective sub-areas,and for building new collaborations between researchers in Nonparametric Statistics from the US with researchers from all over the world.
