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

该奖项将提供部分资金支持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“碰撞搜索、混合和测量误差模型的发展和挑战”国际研究研讨会。研讨会有多种用途。它汇集了来自不同领域的统计学家和一群科学家，他们都在为类似的科学目标而努力，以交流新技术并探索融合的思想。研讨会为年轻的统计学家提供了一个与这些相关领域的领导者互动的独特机会。它邀请了来自天文学、生物学和医学领域的全国知名专家，讨论统计学面临的挑战，特别是在碰撞搜索、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.
