International Conference on Statistics
June 20 - 24, 2005, Hong Kong

Background
Prof. Kai-Tai Fang, Chair Professor of Mathematics at Hong Kong Baptist University, is a leader in the statistical community. As Prof. Fang celebrates his 65th birthday, we are organising a conference to recognise his achievements. Furthermore, this conference will mirror Prof. Fang's own contributions to the profession. We will bring together experts in various disciplines and from East and West, both young and established. The latest research findings will be reported, unsolved problems will be discussed, and the groundwork will be laid for fruitful collaborations.
