New Challenges to Statistical Theory and Applications


The Department of Statistics at the University of Dhaka, one of the oldest Departments of Statistics in the world, was founded 60 years ago by the late National Professor Qazi Motahar Husain. Professor Husain is one of the most outstanding personalities in the history of Bangladesh. The department continues to produce statisticians who are teaching at universities or working in industries and research institutions both at home and in many countries of the world. On the occasion of the 60th anniversary of the founding of the department, this is the first attempt to bring statisticians together from all over the world to explore and discuss the new developments of statistical theory and applications in teaching, research, and the use of statistics in government and non-government policy making with special focus to developing countries like Bangladesh. With these in mind, we want to invite reputed statisticians from home and abroad to participate in this conference. This conference will focus on the cutting edge topics related to the recent developments in the broad field of statistics. 

The conference will include keynote speeches, plenary sessions, invited paper sessions, and contributed paper sessions. In addition, there will be workshops on some special topics of current research interest. The conference will be held at the University of Dhaka.

The conference will be held for three days and there will be three parallel sessions for invited and contributed papers.
