https://jdssv.org/index.php/jdssv/issue/archive
It is our great pleasure to announce that Journal of Data Science, Statistics, and Visualization (JDSSV) has now published its first issues of 2022. JDSSV is completely open access. The published papers can be accessed at
https://jdssv.org/index.php/jdssv/issue/archive
Feel free to send this announcement to all your colleagues with an interest in data science, statistics and/or visualisation.
JDSSV is an international refereed journal which creates a forum to present recent progress and ideas in the different disciplines of data science, statistics, and visualisation. JDSSV welcomes submissions to data science, statistics, and visualisation and, in particular, papers which link and integrate these subject areas.
Articles should be oriented towards a wide scientific audience, and can cover topics such as machine learning and statistical learning, the visualisation and verbalisation of data, visual analytics, big data infrastructures and analytics, interactive learning, and advanced computing. Scientific contributions should be of a high standard.
The journal explicitly welcomes contributions that include software with the aim of reproducibility of the results and application of the proposed methodology to other data by the reader. It is expected that data used in a paper are provided.
Initial submissions only require a pdf version of the manuscript with accompanying software code and necessary supplementary material. Manuscripts can be submitted online at https://jdssv.org.

Title: Final report: “16th Brazilian Meeting of Bayesian Statistics and VI Latin American Conference of Statistical Computing” and Schools “Deep neural networks: Fundamentals, computational, mathematical aspects, and advances”, and “Bayesian Survival Analysis with BUGS”
Summary: Here are some information about the latest activities of the Latin American Regional Section (LARS) of the International Association for Statistical Computing (IASC)
The mission of the Latin American Regional Section (LARS) of the International Association for Statistical Computing (IASC) is to promote Latin American cooperation in pursuing the aims of the IASC. In 2022 the IASC-LARS organized the IV LACSC in cooperation with the Brazilian Society of Bayesian Statistics and the Brazilian Section of the International Society for Bayesian Analysis (ISBA), the meeting was entitled as ”16th Brazilian Meeting of Bayesian Statistics and VI Latin American Conference of Statistical Computing”, and took place from the 16th of March to the 18th of March. The meeting was preceded by two schools, between the 14th of March and the 15th of March, addressing topics such as neural networks and applied aspects of Bayesian inference. Both topics of interest of the IASC-LARS. All activities took place in virtual format!
