The Conference will be hosted by the Department of Mathematics, Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur, INDIA, during January 4-6, 2005, to felicitate our esteemed colleagues Professors Divakar Sharma, Girja K. Shukla and Prakash C. Joshi, for their contributions in the development of the Statistics Programs at the I.I.T. Kanpur. The conference will survey recent progress and promote further research in Statistics and its applications in different areas of science and technology. This conference will cover different areas of statistics such as Bayesian Inference, Bio-Statistics, Multiple Decision Problems, Inference, Survey sampling, Experimental Design, Generalized Linear models, Reliability Theory, Applied Probability, Financial Statistics, Linear-Nonlinear Regression Analysis, Statistical Signal Processing, Time Series etc. It is needless to emphasize the role of Statistics in solving various real life problems. In view of the rapid progress taking place in all branches of science, and particularly in interdisciplinary areas such as Statistics, it is hard for researchers to keep abreast with all the developments without periodic interactions and discussions with experts and researchers. With the view to promote such an interaction, we are planning this conference at I.I.T Kanpur. We are planning three plenary lectures and several invited and special sessions. The wide scope of the conference will provide an excellent opportunity for sharing and promoting ideas among the experts. It may be mentioned that several eminent scholars from India and abroad have already given their consents for the invited lectures. Thus, the Conference will provide an opportunity to the young researchers to interact and discuss with distinguished researchers from across the world on various aspects of Statistics. |
