Mathematical Sciences:Group Travel Award to the 5th International meeting on "Bayesian Statistics"; June 5-10, 1994; Alicante, Spain

第五届巴伦西亚国际贝叶斯统计会议将于1994年6月5日至10日在西班牙阿利坎特举行。这一系列的国际会议是介绍和传播贝叶斯统计方法或研究的主要场所。近年来，贝叶斯方法在统计学上取得了惊人的发展，这在很大程度上是由于它解决科学和一般社会中困难的应用统计问题的能力。参加这次会议对研究人员，特别是年轻的研究人员来说是至关重要的，因为该领域的发展速度大大超过了发表的速度。通过参加会议，研究人员将能够获得最新的贝叶斯技术，并将有充分的机会获得对自己工作的反馈。助学金的一部分将用于研究生的开支，因为参加会议将大大增加他们的统计学教育。

9313045 Berger The Fifth International Valencia Meeting on Bayesian Statistics will be held from June 5 - 10, 1994, in Alicante, Spain. This series of international meetings is the major venue for presentation and dissemination or research on Bayesian statistical methodology. The Bayesian approach to statistics has experienced astonishing growth in recent years, driven in large part by its ability to solve difficult applied statistical problems in science and society in general. Participation in this meeting is crucial for researchers, especially young researchers, as the pace of developments in the area substantially outstrips the pace of publications. By attending the meeting, researchers will be able to acquire the latest Bayesian techniques, and will have ample opportunity to obtain feedback on their own work. A portion of the grant will go towards expenses of graduate students, since attendance at the conference will greatly augment their statistical education.
