IX Latin American Conference on Statistical Computing (LACSC 2025)

The Latin American Conference on Statistical Computing (LACSC) is the main academic event organized by the IASC-LARS, attracting global researchers in statistical computing. Since 2016, it has been held in various Latin American countries. In 2025, the IX edition will take place in Valparaíso, Chile, hosted by the Universidad de Valparaíso and MEDING, in collaboration with iHEALTH and IASC-LARS, and endorsed by major international statistical organizations.

The theme, “The Frontiers of Statistical Computing and Data Science in the Artificial Intelligence Era”, focuses on the integration of statistical methodologies with AI technologies. It emphasizes the role of statistical computing in powering data-driven decision-making and developing AI applications across fields like healthcare, finance, and climate science. The conference promotes interdisciplinary collaboration to tackle global challenges through statistical innovation.
