About the Conference

The Philippine Association of Researchers and Statistical Software Users – Mindanao (PARSSU-Mindanao), in collaboration with Caraga State University through its Department of Mathematics, is proud to announce the 4th International Conference on Statistical Modelling and Software Applications, to be held on May 7–8, 2026 in a hybrid format. Online participants can join via Zoom, while on-site participants will be welcomed at Caraga State University, Ampayon, Butuan City, Philippines, 8600. This event is also in partnership with JA.M Statistical and Research Consultancy.

Our plenary talks will focus on how statistical modeling may help us make sense of uncertainty in everyday life, from comprehending financial market movements and enhancing insurance decisions to investigating complicated scientific systems. Our speakers will show how data-driven methodologies can reveal hidden correlations, assess whether variables are actually connected, and make solid forecasts based on real-world facts like economic patterns and time-series data. Rather than depending on rigid assumptions, these methods adapt to the realities of modern data, making results more reliable and applicable. Each talk concludes with an open forum where attendees can ask questions and learn how statistical modeling can help them make better decisions in business, policy, and research.

Ahead of the conference, a pre-conference workshop on May 6, 2026 will be conducted to equip participants with hands-on skills in leveraging AI tools for statistical analyses, setting the stage for the main event. Ready to improve your data abilities in a way that is both practical and inspiring? Join our three parallel workshops to learn about Bayesian modeling and how to make smarter, uncertainty-aware data decisions, how machine learning models transition from theory to real-world deployment, and how Numiqo transforms raw numbers into clear, web-based insights that are easy to share. Whether you're a researcher, educator, student, or data enthusiast, these workshops will help you connect ideas, tools, and real-world applications in a way that truly brings data to life.

Join us — come curious, leave empowered,

and take the next step in turning data into meaningful impact.
