STATISTICS SEMINAR
Welcome to the STATISTICS SEMINAR web site!
This seminar is organised 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 usually cover a wide
range of topics ranging from very applied problems to the most
current theoretical developments in the discipline.
Below you will find the list of speakers and the topics or titles
of their talks, and a list of past seminars. There are links to pages
with the abstract, information about the speaker, and a list of
