### Monday 19th – Thursday 22nd April 2004 ###
The Department of Probability and Statistics of the University of
Sheffield is very pleased to be the hosts of RSC2004, the 27th
research students’ conference in probability and statistics.
The conference is an annual event designed to give PhD/DPhil
students an appropriate forum to present their research. It also
provides an excellent opportunity for postgraduate statisticians to
make contact and discuss their work with colleagues working in
similar fields.
This year we have worked hard to encourage probabilists and
statisticians from beyond the traditional background of delegates to
attend and present. Hence, the range of topics covered is wide-
ranging and includes researchers discussing:
*medical statistics and health economics,
*financial modelling and econometrics,
*bioinformatics and statistical genomics,
*data mining and machine learning,
*archaeostatistics,
*spatial-temporal modelling,
*extreme-value theory,
*epidemiology,
as well as the conference’s traditional topics of probability theory and
statistical theory and its varied applications.
Registration will close very shortly and the conference is almost full so
this is a last opportunity for anyone who is still thinking about attending
but hasn't got round to doing it.

We hope to see you in Sheffield.

PS to all PhD supervisors - do you know if your student(s) are
attending and if not why not?
