Higher-Order Asymptotics and Post-Selection Inference

高阶渐近和选择后推理研讨会(WAW-PSI)将于2016年9月30日至10月2日在圣路易斯华盛顿大学校园举行。(请参阅http://www.math.wustl.edu/~kuffner/WHOA-PSI.html.)选择后推断几乎涉及统计应用的所有领域。高阶渐近性提供了为选择后推理过程改进基本大样本结果所需的工具和洞察力，并使其在小样本到中等样本大小的实际现实设置中更加准确。WAW-PSI寻求合并这些领域，促进合作和讨论，并推动选择后推理研究前沿朝着推理程序的更高精度方向发展。NSF基金将为参加这次会议的初级研究人员提供旅行支持。华盛顿大学将于9月30日主办一场关于高阶渐近性和选择后推理的研讨会？206年10月2日。演讲者包括布拉德·埃夫隆、范剑青和罗布·蒂布希拉尼。本讲习班试图利用模型选择程序满足应用统计学家的需要，他们也需要极其准确的推断程序。研讨会将从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.
