Data - Science - Society

The purpose of the symposium, as usual, is to bring together statisticians from all over New England to a central location to share research, discuss emerging issues in the field, and network with colleagues. The Symposium hosts and organizers from the University of Massachusetts are Anna Liu (co-Chair), Nicholas Reich (co-Chair), Raji Balasubramanian, and Patrick Flaherty; also, Jianan Hui and Yihua Zhao from Boehringer Ingelheim are serving on the organizing committee.
