The Upstate New York chapters of the American Statistical Association
are organizing this event to encourage new researchers to interact and
present analyses alongside senior researchers. This year's theme
is Statistical Modeling in the Era of Data Science. Kosuke Imai from
Princeton University will present the keynote. A data competition,
open to all students, runs from January 2015 until the middle of
March. The four top teams will present their results at the conference.
