• The Department of Statistics at the University of Florida will host its Sixth Annual Winter Workshop in Gainesville, Florida during January 8-10, 2004. The workshop will focus on recent developments in statistical methods for analyzing massive, unorthodox datasets and on applications of such techniques in many areas. A major purpose of the workshop is to foster interaction between senior and young researchers, to assess the current state of art in data mining and bioinformatics and to promote discussion in related topics. In addition to invited presentations, the symposium will include a contributed poster session.
