Statistics, Society and Environment

This volume features a collection of peer-reviewed contributions from the biannual conference organized by the Mexican Statistical Society, held in Cuernavaca, Mexico, from September 27-29, 2023. Statistical research in Latin America is vibrant and far-reaching, with extensive networks both within the region and beyond. However, much of this work is published in Spanish, limiting access for a broader audience. This volume aims to bridge that gap by presenting selected research from Latin American scholars and their collaborators to a wider readership. Academics will find value in the latest methodological advancements, while practitioners from various fields may discover innovative tools for data analysis. The volume places special emphasis on environmental statistics and applications that address societal issues or directly model social phenomena.

Uncovers cutting-edge advancements in statistical modelling Provides a wide perspective on how to apply statistical methods across diverse fields Presents peer-reviewed articles showcasing the forefront of statistical research in Mexico
