Zusammenfassung: Survival or 'time-to-event' data arise in many scientific areas. Examples include time to death after an operation, the shelf-life of a food product, time until germination of a seed, time taken to pay a bill, and time until an accident.

One particular aspect of time-to-event data is censoring, where the time to an event is not known exactly; it is only known to be greater than a certain value. The methods of analysis for time-to-event data fully encompass the issue of censoring.

The course is a basic practical introduction to some of the commonly-used tools for analysing time-to-event data. Statistical theory underlying the different approaches is kept to a minimum, and emphasis is placed on how to summarise data and how to interpret common hypothesis tests. The course will introduce and explain the concept of modelling survival data based on the widely-used Cox regression model.

For practical work, participants may choose from SAS, SPSS and Stata statistical software packages. Examples used will be drawn from a variety of scientific disciplines.

Zusammenfassung: The design of experiments has been very successful in many areas of application, leading to different traditions in different areas. The aim of the programme is to bring together international experts in various parts of the subject.

There will be three applications themes: genomics and proteomics; computer experiments; and clinical trials. Each of these areas is currently lively. We hope to make substantial progress in a short time simply by bringing together people with an applications background and those with a design background. Specialist design knowledge may be used to improve the design of experiments in each application area; and particular expertise from one application area may turn out to be useful in the design of experiments in other areas.

There will also be three themes driven by methodology: multi-stratum experiments; experiments under nonlinear models and differential equations; and multitiered experiments. Each of these is already used in several areas of application, but often with different vocabulary. Statisticians from the different areas will get together and pool expertise. Because the underlying methodology is the same, it should be possible to learn from each other in a short time and so incorporate the best from each area and produce a more unified theory.

Zusammenfassung: The main goal of the conference is to review the state-of-the-art of the theory, technology and applications related to the notion of Stochastic Resonance (SR) in its broader meaning and implications.

The SR was initially proposed in 1981 as a possible mechanism to explain the periodic recurrence of Ice Ages. Since then the study of SR and SR related phenomena has grown almost exponentially. In the last few years a relevant number of new researchers has entered the field and explored new interesting directions. This International Conference will provide scientists from different background with a forum where to present and discuss the most recent advances in the field of Stochastic Resonance.

Zusammenfassung: Healthcare workers in all departments are expected continuously to improve the quality, timeliness, and cost of their services to the community. Six Sigma is a management methodology which combines the waste and complexity reduction of lean manufacturing with quality improvement and statistical data analysis. Six Sigma is producing some important results in the healthcare arena in terms of improvement of services, breakthroughs in understanding and agreement, and new ways of working. Six Sigma and the twin methodology of Lean Six Sigma appeal to the practical enthusiasm of healthcare workers to get more for their patients and increase the effectiveness of the services they provide. This workshop details the history of Six Sigma, describes what it is and shows how it is implemented via case studies from healthcare providers in the US, Israel and UK.

Zusammenfassung: This intensive course will cover state-of-the-art statistical genetics methods for the detection of genetic loci for complex traits. Each day will include hands-on computer exercises as well as the general theory behind the methods.

Zusammenfassung: Our understanding of infectious-disease epidemiology and control has been greatly increased in recent years through mathematical modelling. Insights from this increasingly-important and exciting field are now informing policymaking at the highest levels, for pandemic influenza, SARS, HIV/AIDS, TB, malaria, foot-and-mouth disease and other infections.

This course is the ideal introduction for mathematical modellers who are considering entering this exciting field, and many past participants have been mathematicians. Course teachers have backgrounds in mathematics, physics, statistics, molecular biology, microbiology, and epidemiology, and are highly experienced in multi-disciplinary collaboration. The course emphasises how to express biological and clinical principles mathematically, and how to interpret results from a biological and clinical perspective.

Since 1990, this short course has introduced epidemiological modelling to public-health professionals, policy makers, and medical and veterinary researchers, and kept them up-to-date with what they need to know about this fast-moving field. It is taught by active researchers in the world-leading Department of Infectious Disease Epidemiology, which advises public health agencies, governments, international organisations, and pharmaceutical companies, and hosts the MRC Centre for Outbreak Analysis & Modelling, UNAIDS Epidemiology Reference Group secretariat, Partnership for Child Development, and the Gates Foundation-funded Schistosomiasis Control Initiative that has treated over 12 million children to date in six countries in Africa.

Zusammenfassung: With this workshop we want to bring together a diverse group of internationally well recognized researchers and industrial practitioners, to critically assess the current status of the NMPC field and to discuss future directions and needs. Our goal is that this symposium will lead to an open and critical exchange of ideas and that the foundation for new research directions and future international collaborations is laid.

Zusammenfassung: The Centre of Policy Studies and Impact Project at Monash University, Melbourne, Australia will offer an intensive one-week course introducing participants to computable general equilibrium modelling and to the GEMPACK software used to solve equilibrium models.

The course focuses on a typical single-region applied general equilibrium model: the ORANI-G model of the Australian economy. Variants of the ORANI model of the Australian economy have been used extensively for policy analysis in Australia for more than two decades. ORANI-G (a generic version of ORANI) has been used as the basis of many single-country models including models of Thailand, China, Brazil, South Africa, Pakistan, the Philippines and Denmark. GEMPACK software is used by research workers in over 300 different locations in 50 or so countries around the world.

Zusammenfassung: This workshop, sponsored by AIM and the NSF, will be devoted to a theme common to irregularity of distributions, approximation theory, probability theory and harmonic analysis. In each of these subjects, there are outstanding conjectures in dimensions three and higher that stipulate that functions which satisfy certain conditions on its mixed derivative are necessarily large in sup norm. This workshop will survey these conjectures, seeking both commonalities and differences, describe recent advances, and discuss proof techniques and strategies.
