Call For Papers

You are cordially invited to submit a contributed research or review paper to UP-STAT 2013, the Second Annual Mini Conference of the Upstate New York Chapters of the American Statistical Association (ASA), which will be held at Rochester Institute of Technology in Rochester, NY, on March 30th, 2013

Celebrating the Ever Expanding Fields of Applications of Statistical Science

With the year 2013 being declared the “International Year of Statistics”, We accordingly chose our conference theme for this year’s to be “Statistics Without Borders”, with the sub-theme “Celebrating the Ever Expanding Fields of Applications of Statistical Science.” We are interested in all submissions that demonstrate the variety of ways in which statistics has grown and expanded over the years to help solve all
kinds of problems in all kinds of fields.

Applied Statistics– Manuscripts dealing with applications of Statistics in Medicine, Sports, Commerce, Marketing, Social Networks, Psychology, Engineering, Biology, Religion, etc … are welcome

Computational Statistics and Statistical Machine Learning – Computers have greatly changed the field of statistics. Supervised learning tools like Support Vector Machines for instance have just as many statistical aspects as they have computing and optimization aspects. Consider submitting a manuscript that presents a technique at the interface of computing, machine learning and statistics. Emphasis on applications is strongly encouraged.

Statistics Education- We are welcoming manuscripts featuring the most recent findings and approaches in Statistics Education, from the statistical analysis of instructional approaches to multivariate analyses of attitudes toward statistics

Data Mining and the Big Data Era – The easy availability of datasets of every increasing size has caused Statistical Science to extend and expand its horizons with theoretical and practical new ways to handle massive datasets. We are looking for interesting papers and presentations where statistics is applied on gigabytes or even terabytes of data. Papers on Big Data Regression,
Classification and Clustering are welcome

Statistical Theory – If you have a presentation that can help our attendees understand landmark/milestone statistical concepts, in the spirit and style of papers published in the American Statistician, consider submitting your manuscript to us.

Acceptable topics for the conference include but are not restricted to:
- Applied Statistics (in the broadest sense)
- Computational Statistics
- Statistical Data Mining
- Multivariate Statistical Analysis
- Bayesian Statistics
- Nonparametric Statistical Analysis
- Statistics Education
- Design of Experiments
- Statistical Challenges of Big Data
- Statistics in Medicine
- Statistical machine Learning
- Statistical Image Processing (Image Analysis)
- Knowledge discovery
- Statistical Signal Processing
- Statistics in Sports
- Statistical Analysis of Opinions Polls and Elections
- Statistical tools for text mining
- Etc ...

As you prepare your manuscript, please keep in mind that the focus is not on technical rigor, but instead on clarity of exposition and ease of
access by our audience, which will have a substantial number of students and AP Statistics teachers.

As a matter of fact, we strongly encourage AP teachers and students to participate actively. Manuscripts must at most 8 pages long, and should be prepared in accordance
with the template provided on the conference website at http://asaupstateconference.syr.edu Your paper should not have been published or
submitted for publication elsewhere.

Submission: To submit your manuscript, please upload it to the conference website or send a pdf version of it to the chair of the conference organizing committee, Dr Ernest Fokoué, eMail: ernest.fokoue@rit.edu. Indicate UP-STAT 2013 as your title.

Keynote Speaker: This year, we are tremendously fortunate to have Professor David Banks from the Department of Statistical Sciences at Duke University as our keynote speaker. Professor Banks vast experience in research, teaching, consulting and government will set the tone for the meeting, and we strongly encourage you to attend his keynote lecture.

We eagerly look forward to seeing you at the Mini Conference at RIT on March 30th, 2013

Dr Ernest Fokoué
Chair of the Organizing Committee
Rochester Institute of Technology
