This book highlights selected papers from the 4th ICSA-Canada Chapter Symposium, as well as invited articles from established researchers in the areas of statistics and data science. It covers a variety of topics, including methodology development in data science, such as methodology in the analysis of high dimensional data, feature screening in ultra-high dimensional data and natural language ranking; statistical analysis challenges in sampling, multivariate survival models and contaminated data, as well as applications of statistical methods. With this book, readers can make use of frontier research methods to tackle their problems in research, education, training and consultation.

This book gathers invited presentations from the 2nd Symposium of the ICSA- CANADA Chapter held at the University of Calgary from August 4-6, 2015. The aim of this Symposium was to promote advanced statistical methods in big-data sciences and to allow researchers to exchange ideas on statistics and data science and to embraces the challenges and opportunities of statistics and data science in the modern world.  It addresses diverse themes in advanced statistical analysis in big-data sciences, including methods for administrative data analysis, survival data analysis, missing data analysis, high-dimensional and genetic data analysis, longitudinal and functional data analysis, the design and analysis of studies with response-dependent and multi-phase designs, time series and robust statistics, statistical inference based on likelihood, empirical likelihood and estimating functions. The editorial group selected 14 high-quality presentations from this successful symposium and invitedthe presenters to prepare a full chapter for this book in order to disseminate the findings and promote further research collaborations in this area. This timely book offers new methods that impact advanced statistical model development in big-data sciences.

This book puts its weight on theoretical issues related to finite mixture models. It shows that a good applicant, is an applicant who understands the issues behind each statistical method. This book is intended for applicants whose interests include some understanding of the procedures they are using, while they do not have to read the technical derivations.At the same time, many researchers find most theories and techniques necessary for the development of various statistical methods, without chasing after one set of research papers, after another. Even though the book emphasizes the theory, it provides accessible numerical tools for data analysis. Readers with strength in developing statistical software, may find it useful.
