INTERFACE 2002(April 17-20)

The theme of Interface 2002 is Geo-science and Remote Sensing. Improvement in remote sensing technology in recent years have made very large, remotely sensed data sets common and accessible to wide variety of researchers in diverse areas of physical, life and social science. These data, and the computing Technologies and infrastructure that support them, allow study of geophysical processes on a global scale at resolutions never before possible. Understanding the complex the complex relationships present and how the evolve in space and time, is a major challenge for statisticians, Mathematicians, computer Scientists and discipline scientists.

I participated on both short courses entitled “SiZer for simple, Direct Inference in Explanatory Data Analysis”(J.S. Marron) and “Statistical Pattern Recognition” (David Marchette and Jeffrey Solka). I also participated a contributed session on Bio-informatics and an invited session entitled “ Best of National Security Agency”. There were many talks that interested me lot an especially “ Multiple Spike train Data Analysis”. I had an opportunity to meet with some Scientist in those areas and exchange ideas with them. It was very interesting conference.
