ICORS - DSSV 2024 at GMU

The Department of Statistics at George Mason University (Fairfax, VA, USA) is jointly hosting the

The International Conference on Robust Statistics (ICORS) and Data Science, Statistics & Visualisation (DSSV) are a joint conference aimed to bring together researchers and practitioners interested in the interplay of robust statistics, data analysis, computer science, and visualization, and to build bridges between these fields for interdisciplinary research. This includes theoretical and applied statisticians as well as data analysts from other fields, and leading experts as well as junior researchers and graduate students. This joint conference shall create a forum to discuss recent progress and emerging ideas in these different disciplines and encourage informal contacts and discussions among all the participants. They also play an important role in maintaining a cohesive group of international researchers interested in robust statistics and related topics, whose interactions transcend the meetings and endure year round.
