Description:
------------

This workshop, sponsored by AIM and the NSF, is devoted to the
applications of Stein's method to address modern, practical questions
in high-dimensional mathematical statistics.  The overarching theme
of the workshop will be the development of new methods in high
dimensional data analysis by applying recent advances in probabilistic
methods. 

The workshop is organized by
Jay Bartroff, Larry Goldstein, Stanislav Minsker, and Gesine Reinert.

Space and funding is available for a few more participants.
If you would like to participate, please apply by filling
out the on-line form (available at the link above) no later
than February 6, 2018. Applications are open to all, and
we especially encourage women, underrepresented minorities,
junior mathematicians, and researchers from primarily
undergraduate institutions to apply.

AIM Research Conference Center:
--------------------------------

The American Institute of Mathematics (AIM) hosts focused
workshops in all areas of the mathematical sciences. AIM
focused workshops are distinguished by their emphasis on
a specific mathematical goal, such as making progress on a
significant unsolved problem, understanding the proof of an
important new result, or investigating the convergence between
two distinct areas of mathematics.
