The Third Workshop on Higher-Order Asymptotics and Post-Selection Inference (WHOA-PSI)^{3} seeks to build upon the success of the first workshop and second workshop, by presenting the latest developments in post-selection inference, and discussing how tools from higher-order asymptotics can both elucidate important properties of post-selection inference procedures, as well as suggest new directions which may ultimately yield more accurate small-sample performance.
The workshop format is intended to encourage collaboration and lively discussion, and to give a voice to all participants with online discussion forums (a result of a successful experiment from the first two workshops).
Registration closes on August 14th, but space is limited and registration will close early if all places are taken!
