Conference of Texas Statisticians
May 9-10, 2024
We are excited to announce that abstract submission and registration are now open for the 43rd Annual Conference of Texas Statisticians (COTS). The conference is scheduled to take place on May 9- May 10, 2024, in Houston, Texas, with a focus on the theme "AI, Machine Learning, and Other Related Statistical Techniques with Applications." The conference will take place at Houston Methodist Research Institute, 6670 Bertner Ave, Houston, TX 77030.
The Conference of Texas Statisticians (COTS) originated at the annual American Statistical Association (ASA) meeting in Houston in 1980, with its inaugural session held in Waco in 1981. Since 1985, the Texas Chapters of the ASA have been integral in establishing the Council of Texas Statisticians, featuring representatives from each chapter. This conference serves as a platform for statisticians to engage in both social and intellectual exchanges with fellow researchers. COTS welcomes researchers at all levels—senior and junior, as well as students—to present their research talks or posters at COTS, fostering a rich and collaborative environment.
To participate, please register and submit your abstract by the deadline of April 5th, 2024.
