First Call for Papers
---------------------
The international conference on Correspondence Analysis and
Related Methods (CARME 2003) will be held at the the new campus
of the Universitat Pompeu Fabra, close to the Olympic port and
beaches of Barcelona, from 29 June to 2 July 2003.
The organisers, Michael Greenacre and Joerg Blasius, look
forward to welcoming you to the fourth in a series of
successful conferences centred around the analysis of
categorical data. Previous conferences, held at the
Zentralarchiv fuer Empirische Sozialforschung in Cologne, were:
(1991) Correspondence Analysis in the Social Sciences
(1995) Visualisation of Categorical Data
(1999) Large Scale Data Analysis
The timing of the conference, at the end of June 2003, is designed
to optimise your chances of visiting Barcelona, the Mediterranean
coastline and the spectacular interior of Catalonia before the
tourist season, so take the opportunity of extending your stay by
a few days to enjoy the local scenery and gastronomy.
CARME 2003 will spotlight the very latest research in
correspondence analysis and discuss future developments. We aim
to bring together theoretical and applied researchers in all the
areas where correspondence analysis is currently used, notably
in the social sciences, ecology and environmental science,
biomedical and health sciences, archaeology, marketing and
management.
Themes of the conference include all forms of correspondence
analysis: simple, multiple, joint, multiway, canonical and
nonsymmetrical correspondence analysis, as well as the
related fields of dual and optimal scaling, homogeneity analysis,
multidimensional scaling and biplots of categorical data and
compositional data, and applications in any substantive area of
research. Interdisciplinary contributions are particularly
encouraged.
