Sixth World Meeting of the International Society for Bayesian Analysis

该奖项为参加2000年5月28日至6月1日在克里特岛Hersonissos举行的第六届世界会议（ISBA 2000）的国际贝叶斯分析学会的博士研究生和新研究员提供支持。计划由200多名讲者就官方统计、公共政策和政府统计的主题举行125多场演讲和三次海报会议。本次会议汇集了世界各地的学术和应用贝叶斯统计学家，其中许多人最近获得博士学位或正在攻读博士学位，因为贝叶斯统计的快速增长带来了人口统计学的后果。奖学金主要用于支付来自美国的研究生、新研究人员和代表性不足群体成员的费用。国际项目部提供部分支持。

This award provides support for Ph.D. graduate students and new investigators in the International Society for Bayesian Analysis attending the Sixth World Meeting, ISBA 2000, held 28 May - 1 June 2000 in Hersonissos, Crete. More than 125 talks by over 200 presenters, and three poster sessions, are planned on the themes of Official Statistics, Public Policy, and Governmental Statistics. This conference brings together academic and applied Bayesian statisticians throughout the world, many of them recent Ph.D.s or current Ph.D. candidates, due to the demographic consequence of the rapid growth of the Bayesian statistics. The award funds are primarily devoted to defraying the expenses of graduate students, new researchers, and members of underrepresented groups from the U.S. Partial support is provided from the Division of International Programs.
