Higher-Order Asymptotics and Post-Selection Inference

高阶渐近和后选择推理研讨会（WHOA-PSI）将于2016年9月30日至10月2日在华盛顿大学圣路易斯校区举行。（见http://www.math.wustl.edu/~kuffner/WHOA-PSI.html.）选择后推理与统计应用的几乎所有领域都有关。高阶渐近提供了所需的工具和见解，以完善基本的大样本结果后选择推理程序，并使它们在小到中等样本量的实际现实设置中更加准确。WHOA-PSI寻求合并这些领域，促进合作和讨论，并在推理程序的高阶精度方向推进后选择推理研究前沿。美国国家科学基金会将为参加本次会议的初级研究人员提供旅费支持。华盛顿大学将于9月30日举办一场关于高阶渐近和后选择推理的研讨会。2006年10月2日。演讲者包括Brad Efron， Jianqing Fan和Rob Tibshirani。本次研讨会试图解决应用统计学家的需求，利用模型选择程序，谁也需要极其准确的推理程序。研讨会将以主要主题的教程开始。该奖项为参加会议的初级研究人员提供资金。

The Workshop on Higher-Order Asymptotics and Post-Selection Inference (WHOA-PSI) will be held on the campus of Washington University in St. Louis from September 30-October 2, 2016. (See http://www.math.wustl.edu/~kuffner/WHOA-PSI.html.) Post-selection inference is relevant to virtually all areas of statistical application. Higher-order asymptotics provides the tools and insights needed to refine basic large-sample results for post-selection inference procedures, and make them more accurate in the practically realistic setting of small to moderate sample sizes. WHOA-PSI seeks to merge these fields, foster collaboration and discussion, and push forward the post-selection inference research frontier in the direction of higher-order accuracy for inference procedures. NSF funding will provide travel support for junior researchers to attend this conference.Washington University will host a workshop on higher order asymptotics and post-selection inference September 30 ? October 2, 206. Speakers include Brad Efron, Jianqing Fan, and Rob Tibshirani. This workshop attempts to address the needs of applied statisticians utilizing model selection procedures who also need extremely accurate inference procedures. The workshop will begin with tutorials on the main topics. This award provides funding for junior researchers to attend the conference.
