Further details:
The Young Statisticians' Meeting is an annual day-long
event that will next be held at the University of Liverpool
between 9th and 10th April 2001. In previous years the
meeting has attracted in the region of 120 participants.
The typical YSM participant is either nearing the
completion of his/her PhD., or is within the first 5 years
of a statistical career, in an academic, a business or an
industrial environment.
The purpose of the meeting is to provide a forum for
participants to exchange research ideas both formally
through oral and poster presentations, and informally
over lunch, dinner and the evening reception. In
particular, the meeting is intended to foster greater
interaction between statisticians working in contrasting
environments.
The conference is arranged as a series of plenary and
parallel sessions. There will also be a wine-reception and
poster session on the evening of 9th April, where delegates
will have the opportunity to meet some of the conference
sponsors. The themes of individual sessions are currently
being formalised; as a guide, previous meetings have
included sessions on environmental statistics, medical and
pharmaceutical statistics, theoretical statistics, statistical
computation, engineering statistics and quality control,
and financial stochastic modelling, amongst others.
The conference will be held in Derby and Rathbone Hall,
which is one of the University of Liverpool residences in
the Greenbank complex, in Mossley Hill, one of the popular
suburbs of the City of Liverpool. The residences are
located in the spacious parkland of Greenbank House which
dates partly from the eighteenth century.
Registration will start at 11:30am on Monday 9th April
and the conference will close at midday on Tuesday 10th
April. The cost of the meeting is £50. This includes lunch,
afternoon tea and dinner for 9th April, wine reception,
breakfast, morning coffee for 10th April, accommodation for
the night of 9th April and the conference registration fee.
The Web page also provides details of how to submit an
abstract for a talk or a poster, and provides facilities
for doing so. Anyone having difficulty accessing the Web,
