with Current Scientific Applications
Leeds, UK 2nd - 4th July 2013
Call for Abstracts
The Leeds Annual Statistical Research (LASR) workshop 2013 will focus
on non-standard statistical models motivated by novel applications;
the models include multivariate skew distributions, distributions on
manifolds such as circle, torus, shape spaces, rotation matrices.
This is the first International Workshop dedicated solely on such a
timely theme.
We are inviting abstracts from anyone wishing to give a contributed
presentation at this workshop. Abstracts should be one or two
paragraphs in length, outlining the work that you would like to
