StatScale is an exciting collaboration between researchers at Lancaster University and the University of Cambridge. The programme is led by Idris Eckley, Paul Fearnhead (Lancaster) and Richard Samworth, Rajen Shah (Cambridge). StatScale tackles the important inference challenges arising from streaming data.
