The Institute of Statistics is organizing a Symposium in honor of our late head of Institute, supervisor, colleague and friend Friedrich "Fritz" Leisch who passed away in April 2024 after a serious illness.
We invite colleagues and fellow researchers to share scientific research contributions on topics in statistics and computing Fritz has contributed to such as for example clustering and mixture models or literate programming and reproducible research.
During the symposium we will present the first Fritz Leisch Award winner.
