Symposium
Stochastic Models and
Discrete Geometry
The Institute of
Statistical Mathematics
4-6-7 Minami-Azabu, Minato-ku, Tokyo
February 19 - 20, 2009
Last Update: February 13, 2009
The scope of
symposium
Discrete geometry is now successfully
applied to problems in Crystallography, Chemistry, Physics, Biology and other
fields. Analyses of statistical data on geometrical structure suggest various
problems in statistics. The aim of this symposium is to make an
interdisciplinary interaction on Crystallography, Chemistry, Physics, Biology,
Discrete Geometry and Statistics for the new developments of these fields
concentrating on the problems of Stochastic Models.
