9910238The Fourth International Conference on Forensic Statistics will be held at North Carolina State University on Dec. 5-8, 1999. The conference is intended to allow statisticians, forensic scientists, lawyers, and scholars from related disciplines to discuss the many and varied uses of Probability and Statistics in legislative, administrative and judicial proceedings. Forensic Statistics, the application of Statistics and Probability to legal matters, is an expanding field. The current debates surrounding the presentation of evidence based on DNA profiling and epidemiological studies on the health effects of various drugs are just two examples. There is a great need for statisticians to provide guidance to forensic scientists, and lawyers and the courts. By bringing together statisticians, forensic scientists, lawyers and other scholars, this fourth international conference will further the interdisciplinary understanding of Statistics and Probability applied to legal matters. The conference is the fourth in a series. The previous conferences have been held at Univ. of Edinburgh and the Arizona State University. Based on previous attendance, about 250 people are expected to attend the fourth conference. This proposal provides funds to insure that U.S. participants will be able to hear and network with the best experts on this topic from this country and from abroad, and to provide access to the conference by graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, new researchers, and members of underrepresented groups.

9910238第四届法医统计学国际会议将于1999年12月5日至8日在北卡罗来纳州州立大学举行。 会议旨在让统计学家，法医科学家，律师和相关学科的学者讨论概率和统计在立法，行政和司法程序中的多种用途。 法医统计学，统计和概率的应用，法律的事项，是一个不断扩大的领域。 目前围绕DNA图谱证据的提出和关于各种药物对健康影响的流行病学研究的辩论只是两个例子。 非常需要统计人员为法医科学家、律师和法院提供指导。 通过汇集统计学家，法医科学家，律师和其他学者，这第四次国际会议将进一步跨学科的理解统计和概率适用于法律的事项。 这次会议是一系列会议中的第四次。 以前的会议已在爱丁堡大学和亚利桑那州立大学举行。 根据以往的出席情况，预计约有250人出席第四次会议。 该提案提供资金，以确保美国与会者能够听取并与来自这个国家和国外的最好的专家交流，并为研究生，博士后研究员，新研究人员和代表性不足的团体成员提供参加会议的机会。
