Algebraic Statistics 2014: Conference at IIT, May 19-22, 2014.

在2012年宾夕法尼亚州立大学阿勒格尼代数统计会议取得成功的基础上，2014年5月19日至22日在伊利诺伊理工学院举行的为期四天的代数统计会议将为这一令人兴奋的研究领域及其相互联系的进一步发展和成熟提供重点。拟议讲习班的统一主题是由共同的数学工具集以及代数和统计之间日益密切的互动提供的。该计划将允许从事统计工作的研究人员与从事代数、代数几何和离散数学工作的人员进行互动，并在代数方法的开发和应用于统计方面取得根本性进展。代数统计学提倡将多项式代数作为解决统计学及其应用中问题的工具，并推动了理论和计算代数几何的进一步发展。该项目将促进美国参与者与国际同行之间的国际合作。这笔资金将允许初级研究人员出席会议并介绍他们的工作，并与更广泛的代数统计学研究人员社区互动。

Building on the success of the 2012 Conference, Algebraic Statistics in the Alleghenies at Pennsylvania State University, a four day conference on Algebraic Statistics at the Illinois Institute of Technology, May 19-22, 2014 will provide a focus for the further development and maturation of this exciting area of research as well as its interconnections. The unifying theme for the proposed workshop is provided by the common mathematical tool set as well as the increasingly close interaction between algebra and statistics. The program will allow researchers working in statistics to interact with those working in algebra, algebraic geometry, and discrete mathematics, and make fundamental advances in the development and application of algebraic methods to statistics. Algebraic statistics advocates polynomial algebra as a tool for addressing problems in statistics and its applications, and it motivates further developments in theoretical and computational algebraic geometry. The program will foster international collaborations between U.S.-based participants and their international counterparts. This funding will allow junior researchers to attend the meeting and present their work, and interact with the broader community of researchers in algebraic statistics.
