VII Symposium of Case Studies in Bayesian Statistics

提案ID: DMS-0307616PI: Robert E KassTitle：第七届贝叶斯统计案例研究研讨会贝叶斯统计案例研究VII是1991年开始的系列研讨会中的第七届研讨会。这些研讨会在奇数年的初秋在卡内基梅隆大学举行。第七次研讨会计划于2003年9月12日至13日举行。讲习班的目标是(i)强调统计理论和应用在实质性科学研究方面的密切相互作用；（ii）通过强调科学中需要非标准方法的问题，从而需要理论和方法的发展来促进贝叶斯统计的持续发展；（iii）为科学家和统计学家提供机会，深入介绍他们的工作，突出科学背景和分析方法，以造福听众；（iv）通过提供小型会议氛围，鼓励年轻研究人员和研究生展示他们的工作，与资深同事互动，了解贝叶斯统计的最新发展，并参与讨论；强调从事跨学科工作的统计学家存在的许多研究机会；让妇女和人数不足的少数民族参加，他们可能受益于小型讲习班的环境，并有机会与其他机构的同事进行一对一的讨论；（vii）通过出版一卷或特刊的方式传播研讨会上提出的研究结果，其中载有文献完备、经同行评议的案例研究和相关的研讨会发言，并在研讨会的网页（www.stat.cmu.edu/bayesworkshop）上发布同样的信息。

Proposal ID: DMS-0307616PI: Robert E KassTitle: VII Symposium of Case Studies in Bayesian StatisticsCase Studies in Bayesian Statistics VII is the seventh workshop in the series that was begun in 1991. The workshops are held in odd years at Carnegie Mellon University in early fall. The seventh workshop is planned for September 12-13, 2003. The goals of the workshop are to(i) emphasize the close interplay of statistical theory and applications in the context of substantive scientific research;(ii) promote the continued development of Bayesian statistics, by highlighting problems in the sciences that require non-standard approaches, thereby requiring theoretical and methodological developments for their solution;(iii) provide an opportunity for scientists and statisticians to present their work in depth, highlighting both the scientific background and the analytical approaches, for the benefit of the audience;(iv) encourage young researchers and graduate students to present their work, interact with senior colleagues, learn about the latest developments in Bayesian statistics, and participate in discussions, by providing a small-meeting atmosphere;(v) highlight the many research opportunities that exist for statisticians who engage in interdisciplinary work;(vi) include as participants women and under-represented minorities who might benefit from the small workshop environment and the opportunities for one-on-one discussions with colleagues at other institutions;(vii) disseminate the findings presented at the workshop by publishing a volume or special issue of a journal containing well-documented and peer-reviewed case studies and related workshop presentations, and by posting the same information on the workshop's web pages (www.stat.cmu.edu/bayesworkshop).
