SETCASA Poster Session 2017

Organized and sponsored by the Southeastern Texas Chapter of the American Statistical Association (SETCASA ), the 2017 Poster Session showcased research in statistics carried out in the region. Both statisticians and applied scientists worked on problems with a strong statistical component and presented their research. Held on Friday, April 21, 2017 in the Blocker Annex, over lunch with several colleagues and students. Please contact Matthias Katzfuss for further information.
