Overview
Statistics Graduate Student Research Day is an annual
student initiative supported by the Department of Statistics, University of
Toronto, the Statistics Graduate Student Union and the Fields Institute.
The theme this year is "Statistics in Networks". Statistical methods
are regularly used to analyze network arising in computer science (ex: social
networks), biology (ex: disease spread), and other fields. In addition, it
is hoped that this theme will attract a wide audience from several disciplines
and the community at large, supporting the goals of the International Year
of Statistics.
