International Travel Grant to Support U.S. Researchers to Attend the International Statistical Institute Satellite Meeting on Small Area Estimation

2015年8月3日至5日，为期三天的国际会议将在智利圣地亚哥举行，题为“第一届拉丁美洲国际统计研究所小区域估计卫星会议”。 这次会议将作为国际统计学会和国际调查统计学家协会的正式会议，并将为其成员和一大批国际统计学家和社会科学家提供一个独特的机会，就小面积估计问题举行会议并交流意见，这是一个日益发展的跨学科领域，具有广泛的真实的应用。会议将包括对从事小面积估算和相关领域工作的学生和年轻研究人员的强有力的指导。会议旨在为顶尖专家和青年研究人员提供一个论坛，讨论小面积估算的最新进展，从而为各个领域的小面积估算提供新的方向。该奖项为来自美国机构的研究生提供部分旅行支持和注册，以参加和参加这次会议，以传播他们的研究和发展合作。这次会议的主要目的是汇集来自世界各地的成熟和新兴的年轻研究人员，他们正在积极从事小面积估计及其应用方面的理论和方法研究。 会议将有一个优秀的邀请，专题，贡献和海报会议，涵盖了各种各样的小面积估计的主题。这些包括恢复方法，分层建模，时间序列，高阶渐近，和不同的真实的生活中的应用。此外，将举行海报会议，这将为初级教师和学生提供一个展示他们的研究工作的机会。 这将加速和加强参与者的研究。这次会议也将适当地促进小面积估算方法在科学中的作用。会议网页：http://www.encuestas.uc.cl/sae2015/

A three-day international meeting titled First Latin American International Statistical Institute Satellite Meeting on Small Area Estimation will take place in Santiago, Chile, during August 3-5, 2015. The meeting will serve as an official meeting of the International Statistical Institute (ISI) and International Association of Survey Statisticians (IASS) and will provide its members and a large international group of statisticians and social scientists a unique opportunity to meet and exchange ideas on small area estimation, a growing interdisciplinary field with a wide range of real life applications. The meeting will include a strong mentoring component for students and young researchers working on small area estimation and related areas. The meeting aims to provide a forum for leading experts and young researchers to discuss recent progress in small area estimation, thereby providing new directions for small area estimation in various fields. This award provides partial travel support and registration for graduate students from U.S. institutions to attend and participate in this meeting in order to disseminate their research and develop collaborations. The main objective of this meeting is to bring together both well-established and emerging young researchers from around the world who are actively pursuing theoretical and methodological research in small area estimation and their applications. The meeting will have an excellent slate of invited, special topic, contributed, and poster sessions covering a wide variety of topics in small area estimation. These include resampling methods, hierarchical modeling, time series, higher-order asymptotics, and different real life applications. In addition, a poster session will be held, which will provide an opportunity for junior faculty and students to showcase their research work. This should lead to acceleration and enhancement of research for participants. The meeting will also be a fitting promotion of the role of small area estimation methodology in science.
