:: About Seminar

New statistical and mathematical approaches and tools are needed to promote these sciences because of the rapid development of diverse scientific disciplines and their inherent complexity. Furthermore, the employment of cutting-edge tools in other sciences is critical to their application and promoting multidisciplinary cooperation. One of the relatively new and powerful tools is spatial statistics, which examines their correlations by analyzing spatial and temporal data. Given this feature, spatial statistics can be used in a wide range of sciences. Including in Earthquake Science and Engineering, Risk Management, Crisis Management, Atmospheric and Meteorological Sciences, Water Resources, Environment, Geology, Mining, Urban and Regional Planning, Urban Infrastructure, Traffic, Transportation, Remote Sensing, Health and treatment have a wide range of applications, including epidemics, social sciences, oil and gas, economics, and insurance.

One of the essential measures to develop and present the country's scientific achievements is to hold specialized meetings and seminars. In order to provide an opportunity for exchange of views of experts in various sciences related to spatial statistics and its applications, a specialized seminar on spatial statistics and its applications has been considered.

This is to inform all researchers and all those interested in spatial statistics that the 5thbiennial seminars on spatial statistics and its applications will be held virtually on Oct. 2023 25-26 hosted by the department of statistics of Imam Khomeini International University (IKIU) and in collaboration with center of excellence in spatial data analysis in Tarbiat Modares University (TMU) and Iranian Statistical Society (ISS).

Providing a suitable opportunity for faculty members and researchers to exchange opinions, presenting research achievements in the field of spatial statistics, creating common fields of cooperation between spatial statistics experts and its users in other sciences, and improving the scientific level of postgraduate students in universities and higher education centers are the aims of this seminar.
