Conference on Nonparametric Statistics-Integration of Theory, Methods and Applications

非参数统计：理论、方法和应用的整合会议将于2016年10月5日至7日在密歇根大学举行。（见http://sites.lsa.umich.edu/npworkshop2016/）会议的目标是将非参数统计的研究人员、需要这些方法的实践者和对这一领域感兴趣的研究生聚集在一起，在一个轻松和刺激的氛围中专注于研究和应用。非参数方法的发展是现代数据分析的重要组成部分，为统计学提供了重要的研究课题。通过理论和数值研究支持的方法减少或消除过拟合、不可控偏差和升高的变异一直是非参数统计领域的关键练习。接触和理解这些方法对下一代统计学家的实际应用和教育至关重要。NSF资助将确保初级研究人员能够参加本次会议。密歇根大学将于2016年10月5日至7日举办非参数统计：理论、方法和应用的整合会议。大会全体会议发言人是Peter Bickel、Raymond Carroll、David Ruppert和Jane-Ling Wang。会议的目标是将非参数统计的研究人员、需要这些方法的实践者和对这一领域感兴趣的研究生聚集在一起，在一个轻松和刺激的氛围中专注于研究和应用。该奖项为参加会议的初级研究人员提供旅费支持。

The conference Nonparametric Statistics: Integration of Theory, Methods and Applications will be held at the University of Michigan, October 5-7, 2016. (See http://sites.lsa.umich.edu/npworkshop2016/.) The goal of the conference is to bring together researchers in nonparametric statistics, practitioners requiring these methods, and graduate students interested in this area, in a relaxed and stimulating atmosphere focused on research and applications. The development of nonparametric methods contribute to an essential part of modern data analysis and provide important research topics within statistics. Reduction or elimination of overfitting, uncontrollable biases and elevated variation through approaches supported by theoretical and numerical investigations have always been the key exercises in the field of nonparametric statistics. Exposure to and understanding of these methods are essential to practical applications and education of the next-generation statisticians. NSF funding will ensure that junior researchers are able to attend this conference.The University of Michigan will host a conference on Nonparametric Statistics: Integration of Theory, Methods and Applications, October 5-7, 2016.
