This seminar is organized by the Graduate Program in Statistics at McMaster University. Every person interested in the seminar talks, from inside or outside the McMaster community, is welcome to attend. We usually cover a wide range of topics ranging from very applied problems to the most current theoretical developments in the discipline.
Below you will find the list of speakers and the topics or titles of their talks, and a list of past seminars. There are links to pages with the abstract, information about the speaker, and a list of references for each week.
Any suggestions are welcome. Just send e-mail to the Seminar Coordinator.
You can find out about other seminar series in Southern Ontario at the SORA web site and the list of upcoming seminars there.
