After five groundbreaking conferences at Penn State, Statistical
Challenges in Modern Astronomy VI will be held at Carnegie Mellon
University, June 6 to 10, 2016.
This meeting will continue the interdisciplinary tradition of
its predecessors, bringing together researchers in astronomy,
cosmology, statistics, and machine learning to facilitate progress
on the significant data analysis challenges that result from
current and future astronomical sky surveys.
Abstracts will be accepted for contributed talks and for posters.
Travel funding will be available for young researchers.
