The
IAA
is a professional association for astronomers, physicists,
statisticians, computer-information scientists, and others who are
interested in the statistical analysis of astronomical data. The IAA is
derived from the
ISI Astrostatistics Committee and Network. Its foremost objective is to foster collaboration between statisticians and astrophysicists (see this
overview).
