41St Research Students' Conference in Probability and Statistics
41st Research Students' Conference in Probability and Statistics Conference Proceedings 24th-27th July 2018 Dear Delegate, Welcome to the Research Students' Conference (RSC) in Probability and Statistics 2018 in Sheffield. This is the 41st RSC and we, at the University of Sheffield, are very excited to host this great event. The RSC is a large annual conference hosted by PhD students for PhD students. Typically the RSC considers all areas of Probability and Statistics, however this year we are excited to announce that we have expanded our delegation to include students from Biology, Health and Computer Sciences. As a student conference, RSC provides a friendly, and relaxed environment to discuss and exchange ideas. It is our hope that you will not only walk away from this years RSC with brilliant thoughts but also also new experiences, new contacts and perhaps life-long friendships. For many of you this will be your first time in Sheffield and we strongly recommend taking time to explore this vibrant and ever evolving city. Formerly an industrial hub, Sheffield has blossomed into a multicultural and modern city and is home to a range of `hipster' coffee shops, several award winning breweries and of course tourist hotspots like the home of snooker (The Crucible) and the Peak Distinct. We hope all of you take this opportunity to meet your fellow students, converse and come to love this fantastic part of South Yorkshire. In this booklet you will find all the information about the RSC this year, from the conference programme, talks schedule, social events to details on your accommodation in the Endcliffe stu- dent village.
