FLINT: ONE CITY - ONE HUNDRED YEARS UNDER VARIABILITY

提议的会议名为“弗林特：一个城市-一百年的变化”，定于2014年6月24日至28日在密歇根州弗林特的凯特林大学举行。该项目的主要目标之一是将预测统计领域的专家与统计建模，教育和应用方面的专业知识聚集在一起。 一个具体的重点是对历史数据的统计。组织者打算通过这次活动庆祝国际统计年和美国统计协会成立175周年。工程和应用科学的从业者现在广泛使用统计方法来解决与地方和联邦政府、医疗服务、保险、精算师和公共媒体打交道的实际情况中出现的问题。 虽然统计方法的大多数理论方面和应用范围已经很好地建立，但本次会议的组织者计划将最活跃和最好的研究人员，教育工作者和从业人员聚集在一起。主办单位希望参加者，如学生，教师和实践统计人员将带回他们的经验，以提高他们的职业生涯，并促进统计在日常活动中的使用，以造福社会。

The proposed conference titled "Flint: One City - One Hundred Years Under Variability" is scheduled to be held at Kettering University, Flint, Michigan, June 24-28, 2014. One of the main goals of the project is to bring together experts in the fields of predictive statistics with expertise in statistical modeling, education, and applications. A specific emphasis is on statistics of historical data. Through this event, the organizers intend to celebrate the International Year of Statistics and the 175th anniversary of the American Statistical Association. The practitioners in engineering and applied sciences are now extensively using statistical methods to solve problems arising in real-life situations dealing with local and federal governments, medical services, insurance, actuaries and public media. While most theoretical aspects and the range of applications of statistical methods have been well established, the organizers of this conference plan to bring together the most active and best researchers, educators, and practitioners to a common setting. The organizers hope that the participants such as students, teachers, and practicing statisticians will take back their experience to enhance their careers as well as to promote the use of statistics in day-to-day activities to benefit society.
