Dear Colleagues,

Dear Friends,

We are glad in inviting you to participate in the program of the 3rd International Workshop on Functional and Operatorial Statistics by submitting an extended abstract.

*CALL FOR PAPERS*

We welcome proposals addressing “infinite dimensional statistical problems or methods” with special emphasis on:

· Statistical modelling for functional variables,

· Functional Data Analysis,

· Operator-based Statistics,

· Background for Statistics in infinite-dimensional spaces.

For this third edition we wish to encourage also contributions in *Machine Learning* and in *High Dimensional Statistics* in order to further relations between all these different fields of modern statistics and to contribute to their future development.

The extended abstracts (from 4 to 6 pages) should be formatted according to the author guidelines described in the web-site of the workshop and will have to uploaded using exclusively the dedicated submission form on the web-site. All the submitted works will be reviewed by experts selected by the Scientific Program Committee.

The format of the workshop has not parallel sessions, and so a limited number of oral contributions (around 30) will be accepted. In addition, some contributions could also be accepted as posters.
