Canadian Statistical Sciences Institute Builds Worldwide Collaborations

摘要

The Canadian Statistical Sciences Institute (CANSSI) is now in its third year of funding from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council. The scientific flagship program continues to be the suite of collaborative research team (CRT) projects, designed to build sustainable collaborations between statisticians and scientists. CANSSI provides partial funding for several workshops each year. In October of 2016, the International Conference on Statistical Distributions and their Applications-jointly organized by CANSSI and the Department of Mathematics at Central Michigan University-welcomed 190 participants from 26 countries to Niagara Falls, Canada, including many ASA members.
