The world of biometry

The International Biometric Society is an international society for the advancement of biological science through the development of quantitative theories and the application, development and dissemination of effective mathematical and statistical techniques. We consider some of the nonscientific and scientific issues being addressed by researchers in and across Regions and Groups of our Biometric world. These run the gamut of theoretical to applied mathematics and statistics with the applications spanning many fields and, not surprisingly, forming a rich source of new theoretical developments.
