After being rescheduled from May 2020, the 34th edition of the New England
Statistics Symposium was held on September 30 – October 2, 2021 in a hybrid
format.
The nearly 250 participants who registered for the conference, were
almost equally divided between a remote participation option and an in-person
meeting, held at the University of Rhode Island, Providence campus. The
Symposium featured the annual Chernoff Lecture delivered by the Chernoff
Award Winner Stuart Geman (Brown University), and plenary invited sessions
speakers Tamara Broderick (MIT), Siddhartha Chib (Washington University
in St. Louis), and Christopher Schmid (Brown University). The program
featured 30 invited sessions, 3 short courses, a career fair, a virtual
poster session, a student paper competition sponsored by IBM and a student
paper competition sponsored by Munich Re - HSB.
