Mathematical Sciences: 49th Session of the International Statistical Institute, Florence, Italy 8/25-9/3/93

这项奖金是为参加1993年8月25日至9月3日在意大利佛罗伦萨举行的国际统计研究所第49届会议的美国参加者提供旅费。这笔资金将由美国统计协会（ASA）管理，将为从机构和非营利协会中选出的个人提供部分交通费支持。ASA的首要任务是为没有其他资助机会的初级研究人员提供参加和参与这一重要会议的机会。ISI的部分包括：(1)伯努利数理统计和概率学会，在随机过程中有特定的小组或委员会，物理和工程学会的统计，欧洲统计学家和拉丁美洲统计学家；(2)国际调查统计学家协会，在ISI会议之前举办研讨会、讲习班和辅导课；（三）国际统计计算协会；(4)国际官方统计协会；（五）国际统计教育协会。与ISI一起开会的还有对国际培训中心、工业统计学家问题和其他特殊兴趣团体感兴趣的特定团体。来自许多国家的广泛统计学家汇聚一堂，为介绍和讨论统计方面的研究成果和教育活动提供了一个极好的论坛。

This award is for travel grants for United States participants to attend the 49th Session of the International Statistical Institute (ISI) in Florence, Italy, from August 25 to September 3, 1993. The funds, which will be administered by the American Statistical Association (ASA), will provide partial support for transportation costs for individuals selected from institutions and non-profit associations. A priority of the ASA is to provide opportunities for junior researchers who have no other funding opportunities, to attend and participate in this important meeting. The sections of the ISI include (1) the Bernoulli Society for Mathematical Statistics and Probability, with specific groups or committees in stochastic processes, statistics in the physical and engineering societies, European statisticians, and Latin American statisticians; (2) the International Associations for Survey Statisticians which holds seminars, work-shops, and tutorials preceding the ISI meeting; (3) the International Association for Statistical Computing; (4) the International Association for Official Statistics; and (5) the International Association for Statistical Education. Also meeting in conjunction with ISI are specific groups with interests in international training centers, problems of industrial statisticians, and other special interest groups. The convergence of this broad spectrum of statisticians, with participants from many countries, provides an excellent forum to present and discuss research results and educational activities in statistics.
