The Nonparametric Statistics Workshop, entitled “Integration of Theory, Methods and Applications” will be held on the University of Michigan campus at Ann Arbor on October 6 and 7, 2016.

The main goal of the workshop is to bring together researchers who are interested in the development of nonparametric theory and methods or innovative applications from different sub-fields of statistics for stimulating interactions. This workshop covers various topics, which include, but are not limited to, high-dimensional data analysis, functional and image data analysis, smoothing, semi-parametric approaches, network analysis, shape-constrained nonparametric models, spatial analysis, astronomy, economics, neuroimaging and nutrition.

Attendance at the workshop is open to all interested participants (subject to space limitations). Please register if you would like to attend this workshop.
