The conference aims at bringing together researchers and practitioners to discuss recent developments in computational methods, methodology for data analysis and applications in statistics. All topics within the broad interface of Computing & Statistics will be considered for oral and poster presentation. Topics includes, but not limited to: robust statistics, categorical data analysis, computational Bayesian methods, multivariate data analysis, time series analysis, signal processing, biostatistics, biocomputing, clustering and classification, funcional data analysis, nonparametric statistics, optimization heuristics in statistical modelling, data visualization, sampling methods, spatial statistics, computational econometrics, machine learning, numerical methods in statistics, symbolic data analysis, kernel methods and Monte Carlo methods.
