The 2015 Michigan Student Symposium for Interdisciplinary Statistical Sciences

The Michigan Student Symposium for Interdisciplinary Statistical Sciences (MSSISS) is a yearly event organized by graduate students in the Biostatistics, Statistics, Survey Methodology and Electrical Engineering and Computer Science departments at the University of Michigan. The goal of this symposium is to create an environment that allows communication across related fields of statistical sciences and promote interdisciplinary research among graduate students and faculty. It encourages graduate students to present their work, share insights and exposes them to diverse applications of statistical sciences. Though hosted by four departments we extend our invitation to graduate students from all departments across the University to present their statistical research in the form of an oral paper presentation or a poster presentation. It also provides an excellent environment for interacting with students and faculty from other areas of statistical research on campus.
