Applied Statistics workshops
This seminar focuses on problem driven statistics.
Usually, presentations in this seminar present case studies satisfying the following requirements :
- A real problem of substantial practical interest is treated,
- Statistics played a major role in solving the problem or in obtaining a better understanding of the situation.
Occasionally, they also concern a methodological presentation of wide general interest.
