Abstract
The goals of this conference (and those of “SCMA I”) [FB1992] were three fold.
-
i)
To expose statisticians to the statistical challenges posed by the explosive growth in the amount and complexity of astronomical data and in astrophysical theory and experimentation during the second half of this century.
-
ii)
To expose astronomers to developments in statistical methodology which might be helpful in the analysis of astronomical data
-
iii)
To introduce the two communities to each other with a view to the establishment of fruitful collaborations.
