abstract: This workshop, sponsored by AIM and the NSF, will study the problem of estimating a probability distribution from a small data sample it generates. The workshop will investigate consolidating a theoretical and algorithmic framework for this topic.

abstract: This workshop, sponsored by AIM and the NSF, is devoted to identifiability problems in graphical statistical models.

abstract: Mathematical and computational models for an increasing number of complex systems in basic sciences, engineering and, increasingly, also in life sciences and socioeconomic modeling, involve uncertainty: the input data could be random parameters expressing information that may only be revealed in the future, or simply reflect measurement error or inherent variability. Uncertainty can also arise on a more primitive level due to insufficient knowledge about particular components of the system under consideration. We then not only confront descriptive issues but also have to question the validity of the prescriptive implications we might derive from the solutions of such mathematical models in the presence of uncertainty. With the prodigious increase in computational capabilities, already seen and expected to continue, and accompanied by a corresponding increase in data, new strategies in mathematical and computational modeling as well as system optimization will be required.

abstract: The purpose of this conference is to bring all the people working in the area of epidemiology under one roof and encourage mutual interaction. The conference ICMHA'10 is held under the World Congress on Engineering and Computer Science WCECS 2010. The WCECS 2010 is organized by the International Association of Engineers (IAENG), a non-profit international association for the engineers and the computer scientists. The congress has the focus on the frontier topics in the theoretical and applied engineering and computer science subjects. All submitted papers will be under peer review and accepted papers will be published in the conference proceeding (ISBN: 978-988-17012-0-6).

abstract: The purpose of the meeting is to provide a learning experience on recent developments in statistical methodologies. The conference is followed by two parallel short courses on (1) Bayesian Adaptive Methods and Software for Clinical Trials by Prof. Brad Carlin, University of Minnesota, and Scott Berry, Berry Consultants; and (2) SAS for Mixed Models by Profs. Ramon Littell, University of Florida and Walter W. Stroup, University of Nebraska. The conference is composed of twelve three-hour tutorials on current statistical topics of interest. The conference sells its speaker's books at 40% discount.

abstract: The goal of the conference is to bring together leading researchers from all over the world in the area of design and analysis of experiments, including combinatorial design, as well as practitioners of the pharmaceutical, chemometric, physical, biological, medical, social, psychological, economic, engineering, and manufacturing sciences. We hope to provide partial financial support to recent PhDs (2007 or later) and graduate students in the area of experimental design, in case we are able to obtain grants from the funding agencies. ICODOE 2011 will focus on emerging areas of reasearch in experimental design and novel innovations in traditional areas. Tentative session themes will include, but are not limited to: Design and Analysis of Experiments in Genomics; Clinical Trials Designs – All Phases; Multi-Stratum Designs; Design and Modeling for Computer Experiments; Crossover Designs; Designs Linear Models; Generalized Linear Mixed Models; and their Applications; Screening Designs and Strategies; Response Adaptive and Related Designs; Mixture Experiments; Computer Experiments; Fractional Factorial Designs; Designs for Event-Related Functional; Magnetic Resonance Imaging; Algebraic Methods in Experimental Design; Combinatorial Designs; Designs for Dose-Finding Studies.
