We are truly delighted to gather with you on May 7–8, 2026, in this hybrid conference—uniting participants from across the globe both online via Zoom and on-site here at Caraga State University in Ampayon, Butuan City. Your presence, whether virtual or in person, reflects a shared commitment to advancing statistical modeling, embracing innovation, and strengthening the global research community.
This year, we are privileged to host an exceptional roster of distinguished speakers from the Philippines and around the world. Their expertise spans statistical learning, applied mathematics, data science, machine learning, and statistical education. Through their plenary talks, we will explore how statistical modeling enables us to understand uncertainty in everyday life—from financial markets and insurance decisions to complex scientific systems. These sessions will highlight how modern, data-driven approaches uncover hidden relationships, test meaningful connections, and generate reliable forecasts grounded in real-world evidence.
We are especially pleased that each plenary session will conclude with an open forum, fostering dialogue, inquiry, and collaborative reflection. It is in these exchanges that ideas deepen, partnerships begin, and inspiration grows.
Ahead of the main conference, our pre-conference workshops on May 6, 2026, set the stage for meaningful engagement. These hands-on sessions are designed to equip participants with practical skills in AI-assisted statistical analysis, Bayesian modeling, machine learning deployment, and innovative data visualization tools. Whether you are a seasoned researcher, an educator, a policymaker, a student, or a data enthusiast, we trust that these workshops and sessions will empower you to transform theory into impactful practice.
As we begin this conference, may we come with curiosity, engage with openness, and leave inspired—equipped not only with new knowledge, but with renewed purpose in turning data into meaningful impact.
Welcome to the 4th International Conference on Statistical Modelling and Software Applications. We are honored to have you with us, and we look forward to a fruitful, insightful, and collaborative gathering.
