DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Marco Montalto (Istituto Nazionale di Astrofisica (I
 NAF))\n\nINAF-OACT is hosting an INAF-wide hybrid Workshop on Astrostatist
 ics during Monday-Wednesday October 7-9\, 2024. It will be held in-person 
 at INAF-OACT and will be simultaneously broadcast to all INAF institutes v
 ia Zoom.\nThis workshop is oriented towards graduate students and young re
 searchers who have interests in the principles and practical use of modern
  statistics for astronomical research. Students attend hybrid lectures and
  complete Jupyter notebook tutorials in the R statistical software environ
 ment associated with the lectures. Slack channels are available for assist
 ance with the tutorials and for astrostatistical consultation on personal 
 research.\nRegistration is required but there is no cost for the Workshop.
  It is not an official university course but a certification of participa
 tion will be provided.\nParticipants should expect to be involved with the
  Workshop full-time during the 3-day course. This includes 5 hours lecture
  and 2-3 hours individual work on Jupyter tutorials each day. Individual S
 lack channel research consultation will be available after the Workshop on
  Thursday October 10. Didactic meterial (slides in pdf and R tutorials in 
 ipynb\, html\, pdf formats) will be provided during the course.\nThe instr
 uctor\, Eric D. Feigelson\, Professor of Astronomy & Astrophysics and of S
 tatistics at Penn State University (USA)\, has been working with statistic
 ians for four decades. He has co-organized Penn State Summer Schools in St
 atistics for Astronomers\, co-organized research conferences Statistical C
 hallenges in Modern Astronomy\, was lead author of the graduate textbook M
 odern Statistical Methods for Astronomy with R Applications\, served as in
 augural President of IAU Commission on Astroinformatics and Astrostatistic
 s\, and is now Statistics Editor for the American Astronomical Society Jou
 rnals. Andrew Pellegrino\, Penn State graduate student\, will assist parti
 cipants with the R Jupyter tutorials.\n\nhttps://indico.ict.inaf.it/event/
