JSM 2019 Invited Program Set; Other Avenues for Contributing Open

摘要

One of the largest gatherings of statisticians will be taking place in Denver next summer: the 2019 Joint Statistical Meetings. The meeting theme, "Statistics: Making an Impact," aims to place our discipline at the crest of the data science wave hitting this information age. Our contributions and leadership are critical in, for example, developing machine learning methods, spearheading efforts in statistics literacy and communication, paving the way for data science education, and inspiring data-informed decision-making in scientific inquiries and public policy discussions. The JSM 2019 Program Committee has finished constructing the invited program of more than 200 sessions for the meetings. You will be able to enjoy a diverse array of talks and panel sessions that include presentations on astronomical data, Census 2020, deep learning and artificial intelligence, microbiome data science, optimal design in big data problems, and precision medicine, to name a few. Several sessions also target critical philosophical and policy issues relevant to our profession.
