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名受邀演讲者参加2002年6月2日至4日在克利夫兰举行的国际研究研讨会，主题为“凸起搜索、混合物和测量误差模型方面的发展和挑战”。这个研讨会有多种用途。它将统计学家和来自不同领域的科学家聚集在一起，但他们都致力于相似的科学目标，以交流新技术和探索融合思想。讲习班为青年统计学家提供了与这些相关领域的领导人互动的独特机会。它邀请了来自天文学、生物学和医学的享誉全国的专家，讨论统计方面的挑战，特别是在凹凸搜索、混合建模、聚类和测量误差模型方面。

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.
