Statistics Colloquium Series

Fall 2003

The Statistics Colloquium Series is sponsored by the Department of Applied and Engineering Statistics, the Center for Computational Statistics, and the School of Computational Sciences at George Mason University.

This seminar series can be used to satisfy one of the requirements in the PhD program in Computational Statistics in the School of Computational Sciences.

Students may also learn about employment or intern opportunities from speakers in informal discussions before or after the presentations.

The seminars are open to all.

Seminars are held on Fridays at 10:45.
Coffee and refreshments are served at 10:30 in the same room as the seminar.

Directions to the Fairfax Campus and a campus map are available.
Most seminars are held in the George W. Johnson Center (Johnson Center).

If driving, visitors should use the visitor's parking area in the Parking Deck (near the middle of the map). Signs on campus point the way to the Parking Deck. Visitors using Metro can take a bus from the Vienna Metro Station.

Seminars are canceled whenever classes at GMU are canceled for snow or other reasons. Announcements of cancellations are made in local media, as well as at the main GMU webpage.

The internet is a major data-generating process. The study of traffic patterns has important applications in several areas, including computer security, identification of threats to national security, computer systems performance, sociology, and marketing.
