GENERAL NEWS

* Call for Nominations for the Newbold Prize

The Newbold Prize Committee invites nominations for the Ethel Newbold
Prize. The Ethel Newbold Prize for excellence in statistics is awarded
every 2 years, next time in spring 2017. The name of the prize
recognizes a historically important role of women in statistics. The
prize itself is for excellence in statistics without reference to the
gender of the recipient. The Ethel Newbold Prize is generously
supported by Wiley.

The Ethel Newbold Prize is to be awarded to an outstanding statistical
scientist for a body of work that represents excellence in research in
mathematical statistics and/or excellence in research that links
developments in a substantive field to new advances in statistics.

The prize will be awarded at a following Bernoulli World Congress,
Bernoulli-sponsored major conference, or ISI World Statistics
Congress. The awardee will also be invited to present a talk at one of
these conferences.

Deadline for nominations: November 30. https://goo.gl/1D655D

EVENTS

- Events sponsored and co-sponsored by Bernoulli Society

* XIV Latin American Congress of Probability and Mathematical
Statistics, San José, Costa Rica, December 05-09

The Latin American Congress of Probability and Mathematical Statistics
is the main event in probability and statistics in the region, having
been held roughly every two or three years for almost 30 years. It is
organized under the auspices of the Bernoulli Society for Mathematical
Statistics and Probability and the Latin-American Society on
Probability and Mathematical Statistics. The series of CLAPEMs has
greatly contributed to the development of probability and statistics
in Latin America by promoting regional cooperation, increasing the
scholarly level of the research work in the region, facilitating the
collaboration between Latin American researchers and colleagues from
the rest of the world.

Invited speakers: Graciela Boente, Alexei Borodin, Pietro Caputo, Rick
Durrett, Onésimo Hernández, Jean-Michel Loubes, Eric Moulines, Susan
Murphy, David Nualart, Gavin Shaddick, Barry Simon. http://goo.gl/5tI90L

* Perspectives on Actuarial Risks in Talks of Young Researchers,
Ascona, Switzerland, January 08-13

This international Winter School is targeted to young researchers
working on current actuarial science topics. It focuses on two main
areas of research of [UTF-8?]today’s insurance risk: Ageing & Risk Management.

Keynote speakers: Aspasia Angelakopoulou, Madhavi Bajekal, Barbara
[UTF-8?]D’Ambrogi-Ola, Alfredo D. Egídio dos Reis, Nicole El Karoui, Paul
Embrechts, Manuel Morales, Daria Ossipova, Andrew D. Smith.

* European Meeting of Statisticians, Helsinki, July 24-28

The European Meeting of Statisticians (EMS) , sponsored by the
European Regional Committee of the Bernoulli Society, is the main
conference in statistics and probability in Europe. EMS is a
conference where statisticians of all ages and from all regions meet
to exchange ideas and talk about the newest developments on the broad
field of statistics and probability theory.

Opening: Martin Wainwright. Plenary speakers: John Aston, Gerda
Claeskens, Alison Etheridge, Alexander Holevo, Hannu Oja. Forum: Mark
Girolami. Closing: Yann LeCun.

Deadline for contributed paper session proposal: December 31.

* 20th European Young Statisticians Meeting, Uppsala, Sweden, August 14-18

The EYSM is arranged every two years under the auspices of the
Bernoulli Society. The idea of the meeting is to provide young
researchers an introduction to the international scene within the
broad subject area - from pure probability theory to applied
statistics. Participation is by invitation only. https://goo.gl/Gmj0Nh

* XXXIV International Seminar on Stability Problems for Stochastic
Models, Debrecen, Hungary, August 25-29

The XXXIV International Seminar on Stability Problems for Stochastic
Models is organized under the auspices of Faculty of Informatics,
University of Debrecen, Lomonosov Moscow State University, and
Institute of Informatics Problems of the Russian Academy of Sciences.

Main sessions: Limit Theorems and Stability Problems; Stochastic
Processes; Statistics of Time Series and Stochastic Processes;
Finance, Insurance, Risk; Spatial Statistics; Applied Statistics and
Data Analysis; Stochastic Dynamics; Random Graphs; Queuing Theory and
Modeling Information Systems; Probability Distributions; Discrete
Probability Models; Nonparametric Statistics; Statistical Learning.

- Other events

* School on Information and Randomness 2016, Santiago de Chile, December 05-09

This School will cover topics in random processes, ergodic theory,
heat kernel and potential theory, Lévy processes, coalescent and
fragmentation theory, stochastic differential equations, percolation
theory, finance, probabilistic algorithms and particle systems, seeing
the latest developments in these areas.

Invited Courses: Anthony Quas, Michael Damron. Invited Talks: Pierre
Picco, Pablo Ferrari, Antonio Galves, Pierre Collet, Sebastián Donoso,
Michael Schraudner, Pablo Shmerkin, Karl Petersen. http://goo.gl/UqzAUm

* High Dimensional Statistics, theory and practice, Fréjus, France,
October 01-06

This course presents an introduction and recent advances in high
dimensional statistics, with a special emphasis on main concepts of
variable selection, nonparametric estimation, supervised and
unsupervised classification and multiple testing. It will address
theoretical, methodological and practical aspects of this field.
