The First Institute of Mathematical Statistics Asia Pacific Rim Meetings

该项目的首席研究员是亚太地区数理统计协会（IMS-APRM）系列会议的科学委员会联合主席。这次国际会议涵盖了统计和概率领域所有最活跃的研究课题。本次会议的重点是新兴的具有挑战性的统计和概率问题，以及数据分析技术，以解决计算生物学、金融工程和工业工程、医学研究和社会科学等学科的科学问题。这次国际会议的一个显著特点是它讨论了来自各个科学领域的新出现的统计和概率问题。这对塑造统计研究的未来方向非常有用。本项目的目的是为参加本次会议的美国初级研究人员和研究生寻求资助。该系列会议的目标是汇集顶尖和初级研究人员，并促进亚太地区研究人员之间的新合作。会议为统计和概率领域的高级和初级研究人员提供了一个聚集、互动和展示他们新的研究成果的场所，讨论和概述了各自领域的新问题，并为未来富有成效的合作奠定了基础，特别是年轻一代之间的合作。本次会议旨在为寻找新课题的高级研究生和年轻研究人员以及希望获得统计和概率当代发展概述的经验丰富的研究人员提供服务。在选择应邀发言者时，特别注意在性别、种族和其他出席人数不足的群体之间取得微妙的平衡。本次会议的重点是统计和概率前沿的各种具有挑战性的问题。这对塑造统计研究的未来方向，解决高社会影响的问题非常有帮助。

The Principal Investigator of this project is the scientific committee co-chair for the inauguration meeting of a new Institute of Mathematical Statistics Asia Pacific Rim meeting (IMS-APRM) series. This international conference covers all of the most active research topics in statistics and probability. The focuses of this conference are emerging challenging statistic and probability problems, and data-analytic techniques to address scientific questions of disciplines such as computational biology, financial engineering and industrial engineering, medical research and social sciences. A distinguished feature of this international conference is that it addresses of emerging statistical and probability problems that arise from various scientific fields. It will be extremely useful to shape the future directions of statistical research. The aim of this project is to seek funding for junior researchers and graduate students in USA to participate this conference.The goal of this conference series is to bring together top and junior researchers and foster new collaboration among researchers in Asia and Pacific Rim. The conference provides a focal venue for the senior and junior researchers in both statistics and probability to gather, interact and present their new research findings, to discuss and outline emerging problems in their fields, and lay the ground work for fruitful future collaborations, in particular, the collaborations among the young generations. This conference is designated to serves advanced graduate students and young researchers looking for new topics to work on, and experienced researchers who hope to gain an overview of contemporary developments in statistics and probability. In selection of the invited speakers, special attention was paid to strike a subtle balance between gender, ethnicity as well as other under-presented groups. This conference focuses on various challenging problems in the frontier of statistics and probability. It is very helpful for shaping the future directions of statistical research that addresses problems of high societal impact.
