SRCOS/ASA Summer Research Conference in Statistics 2001

该奖项提供部分资金，以支持多达8名博士生参加2001年6月3日至6日在佛罗里达州圣奥古斯丁举行的SRCOS/ASA统计夏季研究会议。这个相对较小的会议将有大约50到60名与会者，主要来自14个州的SRCOS(南方地区统计理事会)地区。会议的形式，在每次演讲的开始都有详细的研究背景，为初级研究人员和博士生提供了进入各个研究领域的很好的切入点。今年会议的重点领域是统计学教育(包括远程教育)、离群值检测和广义线性混合模型中的马尔可夫链蒙特卡罗方法。会议促进了初级和高级研究人员之间的互动，并鼓励初级研究人员以演讲或海报会议的形式介绍他们的研究。

This award provides funds to partially support the participation of up to eight Ph.D. students at the SRCOS/ASA Summer Research Conference in Statistics, to be held June 3-6, 2001, in St. Augustine, FL. This relatively small conference will have about 50 to 60 participants, mostly from the 14-state SRCOS (Southern Regional Council on Statistics) region. The format of the meeting, with a detailed background of the presented research at the beginning of each talk, provides junior researchers and Ph.D. students with a great entry point into the various areas of research. Areas of emphasis for this year's meeting are statistics education (including distance education), outlier detection, and Markov chain Monte Carlo methods in generalized linear mixed models. The meeting facilitates interaction between junior and senior researchers, and junior researchers are encouraged to present their research either in the form of a talk or a poster session.
