NINTH AND TENTH NEW RESEARCHERS CONFERENCE FOR INVESTIGATORS IN PROBABILITY AND S

描述(由申请人提供)：本提案描述了统计和概率新研究者第九次和第十次会议的计划，这些会议由数理统计研究所(IMS)主办，将由初级研究人员组织并为其举办。主要目标是为新研究人员之间的互动提供一个亟需的场所。与大型会议不同，这次会议将限制在90人参加。会议之后将进行讨论和休息，以促进互动。第一次拟议的会议将于2006年8月1日至5日在华盛顿州西雅图的华盛顿大学校园举行。住宿、餐饮和会议设施将在校园内提供。联合统计会议将于下一周，即2006年8月7日至10日在西雅图举行。第二次拟议的会议将于2007年7月在犹他州盐湖城的犹他大学校区举行，随后将于2007年7月29日至8月2日在盐湖城举行联合统计会议。两个拟议的会议都为与会者提供了出席这两个会议的便利机会。参与者将是自2001年以来获得博士学位或预期在2007年前获得学位的统计学家和概率学家。每位参赛者将提交一份演讲或海报。主题将包括从理论和方法到应用的统计研究的范围。将努力吸引生物统计学的研究人员。将有四个高级演讲者会议，介绍新研究人员特别感兴趣的主题。会议期间的三个小组讨论将涉及期刊出版物、统计实验室的机会和资金问题。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposal describes plans for the Ninth and Tenth Meetings of the New Re-searchers in Statistics and Probability, conferences sponsored by the Institute of Mathematical Statistics (IMS), 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 first proposed conference will take place August 1 - 5, 2006 on the University of Washington campus in Seattle, WA. Housing, meals, and conference facilities will be provided on campus. The Joint Statistical Meetings will be held in Seattle the following week, August 7 - 10, 2006. The second proposed conference will take place in July, 2007 on the University of Utah campus in Salt Lake City, UT, followed by the Joint Statistical Meetings in Salt Lake City, July 29 - August 2, 2007. Both proposed conferences allow for an easy opportunity for participants to attend both conferences. Participants will be statisticians and probabilists who have received their Ph.D. since 2001 or are expecting to receive their degree by 2007. Each participant will present a talk or poster. Topics will include the gamut of statistical research from theory and methods to applications. Efforts will be made to attract researchers from Biostatistics. There will be four senior speaker sessions in which topics of particular interest to new researchers will be presented. Three panel discussions during the conference will cover the topics of journal publications, opportunities in statistical laboratories, and funding.
