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

This workshop, sponsored by AIM and the NSF, concerns issues arising
in high-dimensional inference that can be served by recent
developments in random matrix theory. This follows on from an
intensive program held at SAMSI (www.samsi.info) during this
past academic year. This workshop at AIM will serve to sum up
the program and set an agenda for future research in this area.
We intend to have presentations by members of each of working
groups from the SAMSI program. Each of these presentations will
be followed by a discussion session in which open problems and
future directions will be discussed. This will enable us to
achieve our goal of, on the one hand, understanding clearly
what has been achieved in each sub-area and seeing what
interdisciplinary endeavors have been initiated and, on the
other, setting an agenda for future work in this area. 

The workshop is organized by
Peter Bickel, Christopher Jones, Helene Massam, and Don Richards .

AIM Research Conference Center (ARCC):
--------------------------------------

The AIM Research Conference Center (ARCC) hosts focused
workshops in all areas of the mathematical sciences. ARCC
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.
