Session Description:

The intention of this session is to showcase different aspects of modern statistical inference, combining high-dimensional statistics with statistical fairness, distribution-free inference and manifold-based inference. These represent some of the key themes that underpin the subject these days: the search for simplifying, explainable structures within a large ambient space, the incorporation of practical constraints into inferential procedures, and the desire to avoid the need to make unnecessary assumptions that often may not hold for complex data sets. The speakers are all outstanding early-mid career statisticians (and fantastic speakers), who are well-placed to articulate the most important issues and how their work advances the field.
