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和生物统计学夏季研究会议。这次会议是南方区域统计理事会主办的年度研究会议系列的一部分，旨在鼓励交流和相互理解统计学和生物统计学的研究思想，并以其他会议通常不可能采取的方式，激励和指导进一步的研究进展，特别是年轻研究人员的研究进展。对于来自南方较小地区学校的研究生和教职员工来说，这次会议特别有价值。每年，会议的地点都选在南部地区研究人员的车程范围内，从而使他们有机会参与并与该领域的国际知名领导人密切互动，而无需支付前往遥远场馆的旅费。演讲者进行正式的研究演讲，有足够的时间进行澄清、阐述和小组进一步的非正式讨论。高级与会者也可以参加他们的研究的非正式讨论。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。除了会议的两名全体发言者外，每个专题区域都有一名高级发言者和两名初级发言者的演讲。第二天将举行研究生张贴会。该奖项为正在进行海报演示并需要支持的研究生提供旅行资金。欲了解更多信息，请访问会议网页：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.
