Welcome to Poznań and LinStat 2026!

International Conference on Trends and Perspectives in Linear Statistical Inference, LinStat 2026, will be held from 24 till 28 August, 2026, in Poznań, Poland. This is the follow-up of the LinStat series held in Będlewo, Poland (2008, 2012, 2018, 2021), in Tomar, Portugal (2010, 2022), in Linköping, Sweden (2014), Istanbul, Turkey (2016), and Poprad, Slovakia (2024).

The purpose of the meeting is to bring together researchers sharing an interest in a variety of aspects of statistics and its applications as well as matrix analysis and its applications to statistics, and offer them a possibility to discuss current developments in these subjects. The conference will mainly focus on research of linear modelling methods, estimation, testing, and predictions in economic, medical, and social science data, analysis of multivariate and high-dimensional data with special regard to complex data structures, robustness of relevant statistical methods, estimation of variance components appearing in linear models, generalizations to nonlinear models, design and analysis of experiments, including optimality and comparison of linear experiments, and applications of matrix methods in statistics.

The work of young scientists has a special position in the LinStat 2026 to encourage and promote them. The best poster as well as the best talk will be chosen. Prizes will be awarded to graduate students or scientists with a recently completed Ph.D. Prize-winning works will be widely publicized and promoted by the conference.
