Twenty-Eighth International Workshop on Matrices and Statistics (IWMS 2021)
28th IWMS will be held in the hybrid format as per the schedule given from December 13-15, 2021. Participants are requested to choose the format in which they like to attend. Kindly contact the organizers and pay the registration fees accordingly.
PurposeThe purpose of International Workshop on Matrices and Statistics is to foster, in an informal setting, the interaction of researchers in the interface between Matrix Theory and Statistics.
The 28th International Workshop on Matrices and Statistics, IWMS 2021, will be held during the period December 13-15, 2021 at the Centre for Advanced Research for Applied Mathematics and Statistics, Manipal Academy of Higher Education, (MAHE) Manipal, Karnataka, India.
The theme of the workshop shall focus on the theory and applications of the following topics in different branches of science such as Biology, Computer and Information Science, Economics, Electronics, Genetics, Office Statistics, Social Statistics and Accountancy:
- Matrix Analysis
- Projectors in Linear Models & Multivariate Analysis
- Growth Curve Models
- Linear Regression Models
- Linear Statistical Inference
- Modelling Covariance Structures
- Multivariate and Mixed Linear Models
- Statistics in Big Data Analysis.
On behalf of the International Organizing Committee, Scientific Committee, and the Local Organizing Committee we have much pleasure in extending a cordial invitation to participate this workshop.
This series of Workshops has a long history, see https://www.sis.uta.fi/tilasto/iwms/IWMS-history.pdf and we welcome the opportunity to hold the workshop once again in India. The 9th Workshop was held at Hyderabad in 2000, celebrating 80th birthday of Calyampudi Radhakrishna Rao, popularly known as C. R. Rao. The present 28th IWMS will be held beside ICLAA 2021, the common day between IWMS and ICLAA, December 15, 2021, will have some common sessions in honor of Prof. Calyampudi Radhakrishna Rao. We are sure that 28th IWMS will be a great success with the participation of prominent researchers from across the globe working in Statistics, Matrix Theory and allied subjects.
The purpose of the Workshop is to stimulate research and, in an informal setting, to foster the interaction of researchers in the interface between statistics and matrix theory. The Workshop will provide a forum through which statisticians may be better informed of the latest developments and newest techniques in linear algebra and matrix theory and may exchange ideas with researchers from a wide variety of countries.
As well as range of plenary speakers we are to strengthening the interactions between participants by organizing a range of minisymposia in various specialist areas. Beside organizing invited talks from eminent speakers, we invite participants to submit their research articles in the sessions of contributory talks.
Special Issue of ELA: Electronic Journal of Linear Algebra will publish a special issue dedicated to ICLAA 2021 (in honor of Pro. C. R. Rao). Articles focused in the broad area of Linear Algebra and its Applications, not necessarily presented in any of IWMS or ICLAA, are invited for the possible publication in the special issue. Publication is subject to a normal review process set by the journal. Special editors for the issue are: Ravindra B. Bapat, Manjunatha Prasad Karantha, Stephen J. Kirkland, and Simo Puntanen. For more details, please visit: https://www.emis.de/journals/ELA/Home.html.
Proceedings of conferences: We also invite, research and expository articles in the form of chapters on the theme area of ALAPS 2020, IWMS 2021 and ICLAA 2021 for the possible publication in a proceeding. Editorial team consists of: N. Balakrishnan, Ravindra B. Bapat, Manjunatha Prasad Karantha, Stephen J. Kirkland, Arbind K. Lal, Samir K. Neogy and Simo Puntanen. Title of the Book in honor of C. R. Rao will be “Applied Linear Algebra, Probability, and Statistics”.
We do hope, we have an opportunity to meet in Manipal and enjoy the academic deliberation.
