The nineteenth International Workshop on Matrices and Statistics will be held in Shanghai, China, from June 5 to June 8, 2010.


The purpose of the Workshop is to stimulate research, in an informal setting, and to foster the interaction of researchers in the interface between matrix theory and statistics. The Workshop will provide a forum through which statisticians may be better informed of the latest developments and newest techniques in statistics and matrix theory and may exchange ideas with researchers from a wide variety of countries. The Workshop includes both invited and contributed talks.
