Registration is now open and we cordially invite you to register for the 
4th Joint Statistical Meeting of the Deutsche Arbeitsgemeinschaft 
Statistik (DAGStat 2016) from March 14 to 18, 2016, in Göttingen.

Under the motto "Statistics under one Umbrella" the planned conference 
program contains contributions of all areas of statistics and many 
applications of statistical methods. Scientific exchange between the 
participating societies is one main aims of the conference. This is 
reflected by embedding three important annual meetings, the 
62. “Biometrisches Kolloquium” (German Region of the International 
Biometric Society), the 40. “Jahrestagung der Gesellschaft für 
Klassifikation” (German Classification Society) and the “Pfingsttagung 
der Deutschen Statistischen Gesellschaft” (German Statistical Society).

For the conference, Aurore Delaigle, Hans Rudolf Künsch, Simon Thompson 
and Adalbert Wilhelm have agreed to be plenary speakers.

Tutorials will be offered about the topics "Event Data Analysis" (Robin 
Henderson), "Evidence Synthesis" (Guido Knapp, Gerta Rücker, Guido 
Schwarzer), "Copulae in Practice" (Ostap Okhrin) and "Integer-valued 
Time Series" (Christian Weiß).

Exploratory Data Analysis), Ying Cheng (Psychometrics), Gerda Claeskens 
(Mathematical Statistics in Life Science), Sandrine Dudoit (Statistics
