The pre-conference workshop on “Distribution Theory and its Applications”, to be held from December 08 to 10, 2024, invites participants to journey through one of the most elegant pillars of statistical science. Far beyond textbook formulas, distribution theory today is a dynamic and evolving landscape shaping the way we understand uncertainty in everything from climate systems to quantum computing. This workshop will delve into both the classical elegance and contemporary innovations of the field, tracing the rise of new distributional families, the fusion of theory with machine learning, and the role of distributions in high-dimensional and complex data environments. With a keen eye on the future, the sessions will blend mathematical depth with real-world relevance, making it an essential experience for those who believe that at the heart of every pattern lies a distribution waiting to be discovered.
