PROBASTAT 2024, the 8th International Conference on Probability and Statistics, celebrates a 50-year legacy of advancing the exchange of ideas and research within the statistics community. This year's conference offers a rich and engaging program, featuring both invited and contributed talks, alongside poster presentations that cover both traditional and modern aspects of statistical theory and its applications. Key research areas at PROBASTAT include, but are not limited to, statistical inference in parametric and nonparametric models, multivariate analysis, regression and mixed models, optimal experimental design, and applied statistics. The event will also feature prominent keynote lectures and specially organized sessions led by renowned experts in their fields. Additionally, select papers from PROBASTAT 2024 will be featured in a special issue of the journal Statistical Papers, published by Springer. We are looking forward to the meeting at the PROBASTAT 2024 conference.
