哈佛大学的Nan Laird教授将在纵向数据分析会议上担任主要演讲人。莱尔德教授将发表一系列讲座，并在这些讲座的基础上准备一本专著。由于其广泛的吸引力和应用的重要性，纵向数据分析已成为统计学研究的热点领域。莱尔德教授自20世纪80年代初以来一直走在发展的前沿，S教授在方法论和应用方面都处于领先地位。此外，还将邀请该领域的其他一些知名研究人员参加。会议暂定于6月3-8日在密苏里大学哥伦比亚分校举行。

Professor Nan Laird of Harvard University will be the principal speaker at a conference on longitudinal data analysis. Prof. Laird will deliver a series of lectures and prepare a monograph based on these lectures. Because of its wide appeal and importance in applications, longitudinal data analysis has become an intense area of statistical research. Prof. Laird has been on the forefront of development since the early 1980's, both in methodology and application. In addition, a number of other noted researchers in the field will be invited to participate. The conference is tentatively scheduled to be held at the University of Missouri-Columbia, June 3-8.
