ENBIS-19 in Budapest

Eötvös Loránd University – September 2nd-4th, 2019

The 19th annual conference of the European Network for Business and Industrial Statistics was hosted by the Department of Probability Theory and Statistics at the Eötvös Loránd University, Budapest and took place from the 2nd to 4th of September, 2019.

Pre- and post conference courses were held on topical subjects: New Product Growth Models, Causality, Functional Data Analysis and Random Forests.

We cordially invite you not only to engage in highly rewarding scientific and professional exchange during the conference, but also to find some leisure time and explore the town of Budapest and its region.

Warmly welcome,
ENBIS-19 Organizing Committee

About the conference

ENBIS (the European Network for Business and Industrial Statistics) is a platform where statistical practitioners and academic statisticians from Europe and beyond meet, exchange ideas and design new projects. Individual membership of ENBIS is free. Many ENBIS network activities are web-based, but some take place face-to-face. Spring meetings are always dedicated to a special topic (e.g. data mining, reliability, DOE, etc.), whereas the annual conference (which traditionally takes place every September) hosts presentations from a wide variety of sectors, ranging from manufacturing to service, from private to public sector. Conference contributions can consist of introductions and overviews (presenting an area of expertise to the uninitiated), reviews (presenting state of the art advances in scientic research), and best practice communications (sharing experiences of practitioners). In short: The annual conference features both theoretical and practical papers. In addition, people from industry and business are invited to present their problems and current solutions and pick the brains of other conference participants to find better solutions than their current ones.

The annual conference session topics include but are not limited to, the special areas of interest that exist within ENBIS (formalised in the so-called Special Interest Groups). The non-exhaustive list includes:

  • Design of Experiments
  • Measurement Uncertainty
  • Process Modeling and Control
  • Reliability and Safety
  • Statistics in the Pharmaceutical Industry
  • Statistical Computing
  • Operational Risk Management
  • Statistics in Practice
  • Stochastic Modelling
  • Quality Improvement and Six Sigma
  • Data Mining and Warehousing
  • Machine Learning
  • Predictive Analytics
  • Statistical Education for Business and Industry
  • Business and Finance

The annual conference also features distinguished keynote speakers, special thematic sessions, workshops and panel discussions, as well as pre- and post-conference courses and an industrial visit.

Confirmed keynotes for the ENBIS-19 conference in Budapest are:

  • Christine M. Anderson-Cook (Los Alamos National Laboratory, USA), on “Big Decisions: How Statisticians Can Contribute”.
  • Andrea Saltelli (University of Bergen, Norway), on “Sensitivity Analysis. An introduction”.
  • Ronald J.M.M. Does (University of Amsterdam, the Netherlands, Box Medal recipient)
  • Rebecca Killick (Lancaster University, England, Young Statistician Award recipient)
  • Eugene Tuv (Intel Corp, USA, Best Manager Award)

Highlights of the ENBIS Annual Conference 2019 include:

  • Eleven Special Sessions that spread among many topics, such as: Uncertainty for deep learning, Business Statistics, Kansei Engineering, Statistical Fusion of Heteregenous Measurement Networks, Competences and Skills in Business World, Modern Approach to Process Monitoring, Reliability, and others.
  • Finally, two Special sessions dedicated to Young Statisticians,  and to Statistical Software, like JMP and StatEase
