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日在圣路易斯的华盛顿大学校园举行。(See http://www.math.wustl.edu/~kuffner/WHOA-PSI.html.)选择后推断与统计应用的几乎所有领域都相关。高阶渐近性提供了优化后选择推理过程的基本大样本结果所需的工具和见解，并使它们在实际的小到中等样本量的设置中更加准确。WHOA-PSI旨在合并这些领域，促进合作和讨论，并推动选择后推理研究前沿向推理程序的更高精度方向发展。美国国家科学基金会的资金将提供旅行支持初级研究人员参加这次会议。华盛顿大学将主办一个研讨会高阶渐近和后选择推理9月30日？206年10月2日演讲者包括布拉德埃夫隆，范建青，和罗布Tibshirani。本研讨会试图解决应用统计学家的需求，利用模型选择程序，谁也需要非常准确的推理程序。研讨会将开始的主要主题的教程。该奖项为初级研究人员参加会议提供资金。

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.
