Summer Research Conference in Statistics and Biostatistics

该奖项支持研究生参加2016年6月5日至8日在阿肯色州本顿维尔举行的统计学和生物统计学夏季研究会议。该会议是由南区统计理事会主办的年度系列研究会议的一部分，旨在鼓励统计和生物统计研究思想的交流和相互理解，并以其他会议通常不可能的方式，为进一步的研究进展，特别是为年轻研究人员提供动力和方向。这次会议对来自南方规模较小的地方学校的研究生和教职员工特别有价值。每年，会议的地点都选择在南部地区研究人员的驾车距离之内，从而使他们有机会参加并与该领域的国际知名领导者密切互动，而无需前往遥远的地点。演讲者进行正式的研究演讲，有足够的时间进行澄清、放大和进一步的小组非正式讨论。高级参与者也可以方便地就他们的研究进行非正式讨论。今年的夏季研究会议集中在五个主题领域：测量误差模型、视觉分析、阿尔茨海默病建模、生存分析和大数据预测建模。除了会议的两位全体发言人外，每个主题领域都有一位高级发言人和两位初级发言人的演讲。第二天将举行研究生海报会。该奖项为正在制作海报并需要支持的研究生提供旅行资金。欲了解更多信息，请参阅会议网页：www.stat.missouri.edu/~srcos/

This award supports graduate-student participation in the Summer Research Conference in Statistics and Biostatistics, held June 5-8, 2016 in Bentonville, Arkansas. The meeting, part of an annual research conference series sponsored by the Southern Regional Council on Statistics, is designed to encourage the interchange and mutual understanding of research ideas in statistics and biostatistics, and to give motivation and direction to further research progress, particularly for young researchers, in a manner not ordinarily possible at other meetings. The meeting is particularly valuable for graduate students and faculty from smaller regional schools in the South. Each year, the location of the conference is chosen to be within driving distance for researchers in the southern region, thus affording them the opportunity to participate and interact closely with internationally-known leaders in the field without the cost of travel to distant venues. Speakers present formal research talks with adequate time allowed for clarification, amplification, and further informal discussions in small groups. Senior participants make themselves accessible for informal discussions of their research as well.This year's Summer Research Conference centers on five topical areas: Measurement Error Models, Visual Analytics, Alzheimer's Disease Modeling, Survival Analysis, and Big Data Prediction Modeling. In addition to two plenary speakers for the conference, each topical area features talks by one senior speaker and two junior speakers. A poster session for graduate students will be held on the second day. This award provides travel funding for graduate students who are making poster presentations and in need of support.
