International Conference on Bayesian Modeling: ISBA-1997; Istanbul, Turkey, August 16-18, 1997

来自该团体旅行补助金的资金用于支持、协调和支持美国参加将于1997年8月16日至18日在土耳其伊斯坦布尔举行的第五届国际贝叶斯分析世界会议（ISBA）。这次会议将是1997年8月18日至27日在土耳其伊斯坦布尔举行的国际统计研究所（ISI）第51届会议的附带会议。本次会议的主题是将贝叶斯统计与其他科学领域联系起来，以刺激理论、方法和计算研究方向的交叉施肥，通过关注跨学科领域的应用问题，如计算机科学、工程、计量经济学、金融、法医学和医学，来满足我们的社会需求。这些基金的一个主要目标是为年轻研究人员、国际研究人员和代表性不足的群体（如妇女和少数民族、残疾人和研究生）提供机会，使他们有机会与国际舞台上许多跨学科领域的其他研究人员进行互动、分享和传播他们的研究和专业知识。来自几个西欧和东欧国家、澳大利亚、加拿大、日本、英国、中东、俄罗斯、前苏联独立国家、印度、非洲和美国的专家预计将出席会议。

INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON BAYESIAN MODELINE: ISBA-1997 The funds from this group travel grant are to enable, coordinate, and support U. S. participation in the Fifth World Meeting of the International Bayesian Analysis (ISBA) which will be held in Istanbul, Turkey during August 16-18, 1997. This meeting will be a satellite meeting for the 51st Session of the International Statistical Institute (ISI) in Istanbul, Turkey during August 18-27, 1997. This meeting is planned around the theme of linking Bayesian statistics to other fields of science to stimulate cross-fertilization of theoretical, methodological and computational research directions to meet our societal needs by focusing attention to the arena of applied problems in cross-disciplinary areas such as in computer science, in engineering, in econometrics, finance, forensic and medical sciences. A primary goal of these funds is to present opportunities for young researchers, international researchers, and underrepresented groups, such as women and ethnic minorities and persons with disabilities and graduate students an opportunity to interact, to share, and to disseminate their research and expertise with other researchers in many cross-disciplinary fields in the international arena. Experts from several Western and Eastern European countries, Australia, Canada, Japan, the United Kingdom, Middle East, Russia, Independent States of the former Soviet Union, India, Africa, and the United States are expected to attend.
