Dear all,

we are pleased to announce that the fifth edition of the StaTalk series will be held at the Department of Statistical Sciences of the University of Padua, on November, 17, 2017.

StaTalks are one-day workshops on statistical topics during which the hosting group introduces and overviews the main research interests of their members. Aimed at Master’s and PhD students, as well as at post-docs and young researchers, StaTalks are intended to be informal gatherings which allow for a more proficient interaction between presenters and participants. They typically feature some introductory tutorials on the main workshop theme and a few seminars that overview more advanced research topics, still kept at an expository level. StaTalks are thus a great opportunity to become acquainted with the workshop main topic, as well as to share and update one's knowledge on the interface of Statistical research in an easy and informal atmosphere.

The topic of this fifth edition will cover many areas of research currently undergoing at the Department of Statistical Sciences of the University of Padua ranging from methodological statistics to demography.

Registrations, as in the past StaTalk events, is free of charge but mandatory.

Additional information, can be found at the workshop page statalk.stat.unipd.it

Best regards, The Organising Committee
