From: Przemyslaw Grzegorzewski [pgrzeg(a)ibspan.waw.pl] 7th International Conference on "Soft Methods in Probability and Statistics - SMPS 2014" Warsaw (Poland), September 22-24, 2014 Website: http://smps2014.ibspan.waw.pl/

Several years ago, the need was felt to establish a recurrent forum for exchanging of ideas and discussing new trends that enlarge the statistical and uncertainty modelling traditions, towards a flexible and more specific handling of incomplete or subjective information. This idea resulted in a series of biannual international conferences on Soft Methods in Probability and Statistics (SMPS), organized for the first time in Warsaw in 2002. Subsequent events in this series took place in Oviedo (2004), Bristol (2006), Toulouse (2008), Oviedo/Mieres (2010) and Konstanz (2012). The 7th International Conference on Soft Methods in Probability and Statistics - SMPS 2014 returns to Warsaw, the capital of Poland. The conference will be organized by the Polish Operational and Systems Research Society, Systems Research Institute of the Polish Academy of Sciences and Faculty of Mathematics and Information Science of Warsaw University of Technology. The aim of the conference is to bring together theoreticians and practitioners working on soft probability, statistics and data analysis. Topics and scope of the SMPS conference include but are not limited to:

• Analysis of Censored Data
• Analysis of Fuzzy Data
• Clustering and Classification
• Dempster-Shafer Theory
• Fuzzy Random Variables
• Fuzzy Regression Methods
• Graphical Models
• Imprecise Probabilities
• Machine Learning
• Possibility Theory
• Random Sets/Random Fuzzy Sets
• Robust Statistics
• Rough Sets in Data Analysis
• Soft Computing and Statistics
• Statistical Software for Imprecise Data
• Triangular Norms and Copulas

Invited speakers:

• Eyke Hüllermeier
• Inés Couso
• Bernard De Baets
