Sixth North American Meeting of New Researchers in Statistics and Probability

摘要PI：Richard LevineDMS-0244799第六届北美统计与概率新研究者会议本提案描述了第六届北美统计与概率新研究者会议的计划，该会议由数理统计研究所主办，由初级研究人员组织和举行。主要目的是为新研究人员之间的互动提供一个急需的场所。与大型会议相比，这次会议将限制在90名与会者。会议之后将进行讨论和休息，以促进互动。拟议的会议将于2003年7月29日至8月1日在加利福尼亚州戴维斯的加州大学校园举行。住宿，膳食和会议设施将在校园内提供。联合统计会议将在旧金山弗朗西斯科举行，为与会者出席这两项活动提供了一个方便的机会。参加者将是1998年以来获得博士学位或预期在2004年之前获得博士学位的统计学家和概率学家。每位参与者将发表演讲或海报。主题将包括从理论和方法到应用的统计研究的范围。将有四个高级发言人会议，其中特别感兴趣的新研究人员的主题将被提出。来自弗朗西斯科加州大学的Charles McCulloch教授、哈佛大学的孟晓莉教授、加州大学戴维斯分校的Jessica Utts教授以及来自Courant研究所的IMS总裁Raghu Varadhan都接受了演讲邀请。会议期间的三个小组讨论将涵盖期刊出版物，统计实验室的机会和资金等主题。

AbstractPI: Richard LevineDMS-0244799Sixth North American Meeting of New Researchers in Statistics and ProbabilityThis proposal describes plans for the Sixth North American Meeting of New Researchers in Statistics and Probability, a conference sponsored by the Institute of Mathematical Statistics, to be organized by and held for junior researchers. The primary objective is to provide a much needed venue for interaction among new researchers. In contrast with large meetings, this conference will be restricted to 90 participants. Sessions will be followed by discussions and breaks to facilitate interactions. The proposed conference will take place July 29-August 1, 2003, on the University of California campus at Davis, CA. Housing, meals, and conference facilities will be provided on campus. The Joint Statistical Meetings will be held in San Francisco providing an easy opportunity for conference participants to attend both events. Participants will be statisticians and probabilists whom have received their PhD since 1998 or are expecting to receive their PhD degree by 2004. Each participant will present a talk or poster. Topics will include the gamut of statistical research from theory and methods to applications. There will be four senior speaker sessions in which topics of particular interest to new researchers will be presented. Professor Charles McCulloch from the University of California at San Francisco, Professor Xiao-Li Meng from Harvard University, Professor Jessica Utts from the University of California, Davis, and IMS president Raghu Varadhan from the Courant Institute, have all accepted invitations to speak. Three panel discussions during the conference will cover the topics of journal publications, opportunities in statistics laboratories, and funding.
