STATISTICS SEMINAR

This seminar is organized by the Graduate Program in Statistics through the Department of Mathematics & Statistics at McMaster University. Every person interested in the seminar talks, from inside or outside the McMaster community, is welcome to attend. We cover a wide range of topics ranging from very applied problems to the most current theoretical developments in the discipline.
