Sixth World Meeting of the International Society for Bayesian Analysis

该奖项为参加2000年5月28日至6月1日在克里特岛赫索尼索斯举行的ISBA 2000第六届世界会议的国际贝叶斯分析学会的博士研究生和新的研究人员提供支持。计划由200多名演讲者进行125多次演讲，并计划举行三次海报会议，主题为官方统计、公共政策和政府统计。这次会议汇集了世界各地的学术和应用贝叶斯统计学家，其中许多人是新近获得博士学位或正在攻读博士学位的候选人，这是由于贝叶斯统计的快速增长对人口统计学造成的后果。奖励资金主要用于支付研究生、新研究人员和美国代表性不足群体成员的费用。国际项目部提供部分支持。

This award provides support for Ph.D. graduate students and new investigators in the International Society for Bayesian Analysis attending the Sixth World Meeting, ISBA 2000, held 28 May - 1 June 2000 in Hersonissos, Crete. More than 125 talks by over 200 presenters, and three poster sessions, are planned on the themes of Official Statistics, Public Policy, and Governmental Statistics. This conference brings together academic and applied Bayesian statisticians throughout the world, many of them recent Ph.D.s or current Ph.D. candidates, due to the demographic consequence of the rapid growth of the Bayesian statistics. The award funds are primarily devoted to defraying the expenses of graduate students, new researchers, and members of underrepresented groups from the U.S. Partial support is provided from the Division of International Programs.
