IWMS 2026
International Workshop on Mathematical Statistics
We invite contributions from various fields of the "Art of Guessing", either under the established name of Statistics, or the contemporary monikers of Teaching and Learning (possibly taken over by Machine Intelligence), including but not limited to contributions from the related realms of Mathematics and Computer Programming: from the purest abstract creations to the most practical applications.
The motivation for this somewhat nonstandard event comes from a traditional custom occasioned by the retirements of statistics faculty of the University of Alberta Department of Mathematical and Statistical Sciences: this time it is Ivan Mizera.
