ESPOL Polytechnic University is proud to host ICORS-LACSC 2019 on May 28-31, 2019. This year, the International Conference on Robust Statistics (ICORS) and the Latin American Conference on Statistical Computing (LACSC) will be jointly organized in Guayaquil, Ecuador. The 2nd LARS-IASC School on Computational Statistics and Data Science will be a satellite event on May 26-27, 2019.
In 2019, ICORS celebrates its 19th edition, after the meetings in Kolkota, India (2015), Geneva, Switzerland (2016), Sydney, Australia (2017) and Leuven, Belgium (2018). On the other hand, LACSC celebrates its 4th edition, following its previous meetings in Gramado, Brazil (2016), Valparaíso, Chile (2017) and San José, Costa Rica (2018). LACSC is an official event of the International Association for Statistical Computing (IASC).
ICORS-LACSC 2019 will be a great opportunity to make academic and professional contacts and create a space for discussion about recent contributions and emerging ideas in statistics. ICORS-LACSC 2019 welcomes contributions in a wide range of topics. ICORS invites contributions to applied statistics as well as theoretical statistics, and in particular new problems related to robust statistics and data analysis. LACSC invites theoretical as well as applied contributions on Statistical Computing, Data Analysis, Multivariate Statistics, Classification, Data Mining, Optimization, Modeling, Applications, Big Data, Optimization Heuristics, and other related topics. For its second edition, the LARS-IASC School will feature a workshop on Robust Statistics given by Prof. Peter Rousseeuw and Prof. Stefan Van Aelst (KU Leuven, Belgium).
This will be an event without precedent as the communities of ICORS and LACSC will gather. ICORS-LACSC 2019 will bring together renown statisticians like: Stefan Van Aelst (KU Leuven, Belgium), Dirk Eddelbuettel (University of Illinois, USA), Ana Bianco (University of Buenos Aires, Argentina), Gareth James (University of Southern California, USA), Xuming He (University of Michigan, USA), Victor Yohai (University of Buenos Aires, Argentina), Marco Avella (Columbia University, USA), Maria-Pia Victoria-Feser, Ruben Zamar (University of British Columbia, Canada), Daniela Rodríguez (University of Buenos Aires, Argentina), Klaus Nordhausen (TU Wien, Austria) and more than 200 statisticians presenting new results and advances in statistics.
This will also be a unique opportunity to visit the beautiful city of Guayaquil in Ecuador with all its natural attractions like the Guayas river, Iguana parks, mangrove forests, museums, history, and the architecture of Spanish colonial houses. Ecuador as a small country has many natural attractions, not so far from Guayaquil, that includes volcanoes, large warm beaches, the Galapagos Islands and other beautiful cities like Quito, Cuenca and Baños with a great historical value.
