Workshop: Developments and Challenges in Mixture Models, Bump Hunting and Measurement Error Models

该奖项将提供资金，部分支持10名初级研究人员和5名特邀演讲者参加将于2002年6月2日至4日在克利夫兰举行的关于“碰撞狩猎、混合物和测量误差模型的发展和挑战”的国际研究讲习班。 该研讨会有多种目的。 它汇集了来自不同领域的统计学家和科学家，但都致力于类似的科学目标，交流新技术并探索融合思想。 讲习班为青年统计人员与这些相关领域的领导人互动提供了一个独特的机会。 它邀请了来自天文学，生物学和医学的全国知名专家，讨论统计学的挑战，特别是在碰撞狩猎，混合建模，聚类和测量误差模型。

This award will provide funds to partially support 10 junior researchers and 5 invited speakers to participate in an international research workshop on "Developments and Challenges in bump hunting, mixtures and measurement error models" to be held in Cleveland, June 2-4, 2002. The workshop has multiple purposes. It brings together statisticians and a collection of scientists from different fields, yet all working towards similar scientific goals, to exchange new techniques and explore merging ideas. The workshop provides a unique opportunity for young statisticians to interact with leaders in these related fields. It invites experts with a national reputation from astronomy, biology and medicine, to discuss challenges to statistics, particularly in bump hunting, mixture modeling, clustering and measurement error models.
