Here is my 2013 compendium of summer stats and methods courses around the world. Many announcements for these programs have come out already, so I've decided to move up posting my compilation to February instead of the usual March.
I am leaving all of last year's programs in the table below, on the assumption that most will also operate this year. Deadline and session dates are filled in for 2013, if known. The deadline and session-date cells are blank for programs that have not yet reported this information. Check back often for updates!
Multiple programs at the same university or under the aegis of the same sponsor are shaded in color. As always, please notify me (via the link to my faculty webpage in the right-hand column) of errors, omissions, bad links, etc.

(There may be formatting glitches as I edit the tables; please bear with me!)
