sys2025 is the second in a series of astrostatistics and data science workshops in the Southeastern part of the U.S. After the successful iid2022 workshop on count data in the Fall of 2022 at the Lake Guntersville State Park, sys2025 focuses on the topic of systematic errors at another beautiful locale, the Gulf State Park lodge in Gulf Shores, AL, on Nov. 14-17 (Friday through Monday), 2025.

 Systematic errors are everywhere across the sciences, yet they are often ill-defined or misunderstood, especially from a statistical point of view. This workshop aims to bring together data science practitioners --- from astronomy/physical sciences and other fields, such as biostatistics, econometrics and more --- with statisticians and machine-learning experts. The workshop is structured with a series of introductory review lectures from established professionals, and shorter presentations by participants of all levels of experience, with emphasis on participation of student and early-career participants, especially from traditionally underrepresented groups. The National Science Foundation EPSCoR program will to support the participation of students and early-career participants (see Registration for details). 

The workshop is intended as an in-person meeting, with time for social interactions and networking. For those unable to travel, there is a remote participation option.

sys2025 will also offer an opportunity to publish peer-reviewed papers on the topic of systematic errors as part of a Research Topic for the journal Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Science/Astrostatistics. See the Program/Proceedings tab for more information.
