Mathematical Sciences: Third North American Conference of New Researchers in Statistics and Probability; July 23-26, 1997; Laramie, Wyoming

DMS9615340胡祖巴扎尔 该奖项为第三届统计与概率新研究人员会议提供部分支持。 本次会议的与会者是最近的博士。获奖者和博士生谁是在一年内完成他们的学位。 这是唯一的会议在北美专门为新的研究人员在统计和概率。 1993年8月和1995年7月举行的头两次会议非常成功，每次会议都有近50人参加。 这次会议是由新研究人员委员会计划的， 在1997年国际数理统计学会年会上，与会者还将参加一个专门的会前会议。 会议的目的是汇集，在他们的职业生涯的早期，来自不同领域的研究人员， 统计和概率。 研究领域包括计算密集型统计方法，贝叶斯和 非贝叶斯推理，应用概率和随机过程，以及重点应用统计方法的领域，如生物统计学，环境 统计学和工程学。 本次会议限50人参加，为期3天，每位与会者需以简短演讲或海报的形式介绍自己的研究成果。这种积极参与对于处于职业生涯初期的研究人员来说非常重要，因为它有助于交流研究思想。 该计划还包括高级研究人员关于统计和概率前沿研究的三次概述性演讲，以及关于如何启动研究计划的小组讨论。 会议将在数学科学研究所年会之前举行，以便与会者能够参加这些会议。

DMS9615340 Huzubazar This award provides partial support for the third New Researchers' Conference in Statistics and Probability. Participants at this conference are recent Ph.D. recipients and doctoral students who are within a year of completion of their degrees. This is the only conference in North America exclusively for new researchers in Statistics and Probability. The first two conferences, held in August 1993 and July 1995, were very successful and had close to fifty participants each. The conference, planned by the New Researchers' Committee of the Institute of Mathematical Statistics (IMS), will also be listed as one of the special pre-meeting conferences at the 1997 annual meeting of the IMS. The objective of the conference is to bring together, in the early years of their careers, researchers from diverse areas of Statistics and Probability. Research areas include computationally intensive statistical methods, Bayesian and non-Bayesian inference, applied probability and stochastic process, as well as areas with an emphasis on application of statistical methods such as biostatistics, environmental statistics, and engineering. The conference is limited to 50 participants, and lasts for 3 days during which each participant is required to present her/his research in the form of a short talk or in a poster. Such active participation is important for researchers in beginning stages of their careers because it facilitates an exchange of research ideas. The program also includes three overview talks by senior researchers on cutting-edge research in Statistics and Probability as well as a panel discussion on how to initiate a research program. The conference will be held before the annual meetings of the Institute of Mathematical Sciences so that participants can then attend those meetings.
