Overview
The ISQGD Probability and Statistics Club is a broad, interdisciplinary academic platform for students, educators, researchers, professionals, and independent learners interested in probability, statistics, stochastic processes, data science, artificial intelligence, machine learning, and applications across science, engineering, finance, economics, medicine, education, and the social sciences.
At this stage, the club is organized as one unified club rather than multiple subject-wise subgroups. This allows participants with different backgrounds and interests to interact within a single academic community. As the club grows and develops a larger membership base, ISQGD may later create specialized reading groups, thematic sections, or focused activity groups within the same club according to participant interest and program needs.
The club is intended to support learning, discussion, student presentations, interdisciplinary communication, outreach, reading groups, workshops, mini-courses, and research exposure in probability and statistics and their many modern applications.
Many schools, colleges, universities, and academic communities already have statistics clubs, probability clubs, data science groups, actuarial science clubs, or combined probability and statistics societies. ISQGD welcomes such groups to connect with the ISQGD Probability and Statistics Club through an academic affiliation process, so that local clubs may gain broader international visibility while preserving their own local identity and leadership.
Membership and Registration
General participation and attendance in ISQGD Probability and Statistics Club activities are open to interested participants. Participants who wish to deliver informal talks or presentations under this club are expected to hold an active ISQGD Probability and Statistics Club Annual Membership.
A membership registration number may be issued for administrative purposes, for example, ISQGD-PSC-2026-0001. This number may be requested during talk registration or related club activities.
Active members may receive a 20% discount on eligible ISQGD meeting registration fees, including selected conferences, workshops, mini-courses, special sessions, and other designated ISQGD academic events, whenever applicable. Active members may also receive a 20% discount on the optional Enhanced Verification Certificate processing fee, when applicable.
Informal club talks may or may not be recorded. If recorded, the recordings are generally for internal or administrative purposes and are not normally posted publicly. Presentation certificates are not issued for informal club talks unless a specific formal event announces a separate certificate policy.
Weekly Schedule and Presentation Guidelines
To support participation from different parts of the world, ISQGD currently organizes its Mathematics Clubs, Student Chapters, and Probability & Statistics Club activities using two broad scheduling regions: the Eastern Hemisphere Region and the Western Hemisphere Region. These two regional schedules are intended to provide convenient opportunities for students, teachers, parents, researchers, professionals, and other participants across a wide range of international time zones.
Participants who wish to attend or give talks are encouraged to review the schedule and presentation guidelines before completing the talk registration form. The document includes weekly meeting schedules, recommended talk durations, presentation expectations, coordination notes, and related instructions for both the ISQGD Mathematics Clubs & Student Chapters and the ISQGD Probability & Statistics Club.
Eastern Hemisphere and Western Hemisphere Schedules
The schedule document identifies available time slots for both scheduling regions and helps participants choose the most suitable option according to their location and time zone. It also provides presentation guidelines for speakers and organizers.

Connection with JPStD and JAIDSEM
The ISQGD Probability and Statistics Club naturally complements the academic scope of two ISQGD journals: the ISQGD Journal of Probability and Stochastic Dynamics (JPStD) and the ISQGD Journal of Artificial Intelligence and Data Science in Engineering and Mathematics (JAIDSEM). Together, these journals reflect the club's broad interdisciplinary interests in probability, statistics, stochastic processes, stochastic dynamics, artificial intelligence, machine learning, data science, engineering mathematics, statistical modeling, and related applications.
The club may help build a broader educational and academic community around probability, statistics, stochastic dynamics, data science, AI, and their applications across mathematics, engineering, science, finance, medicine, economics, and the social sciences. Through talks, reading groups, workshops, mini-courses, and student presentations, the club can support academic discussion and research exposure in areas closely connected with the scope of both JPStD and JAIDSEM.
Participation in the club does not imply journal publication, editorial acceptance, or any publication guarantee. However, the club may provide valuable opportunities for learning, academic communication, collaboration, and the development of future scholarly activities aligned with the broader educational and research mission of ISQGD.
