Dear all,
It is my great pleasure to announce the `18th International Workshop on
Statistical Modelling (IWSM)' to be held in Leuven (Belgium), from Monday
July 7, to Friday July 11, 2003, with a short course on Sunday, July 6.
I would like to refer you to the website
http://www.luc.ac.be/censtat/IWSM2003/ which is continuously updated with
the latest information concerning scientific and social programmes.
Confirmed invited speakers are Prof. Ron Brookmeyer (The Johns Hopkins
University, U.S.A.), Prof. Marie Davidian (North Carolina State University,
U.S.A.), Prof. Anastasios Tsiatis (North Carolina State University, U.S.A.),
Prof. Henry Wynn (The University of Warwick, U.K.), and Prof. Chris
Chatfield (The University of Bath, U.K.).
On Sunday July 6, prior to the start of the conference, a short course on
Smoothing Methods will be given by Prof. Brian Marx (Louisiana State
University, U.S.A.) and Prof. Paul Eilers (University of Leiden, The
Netherlands).
Furthermore, the Workshop is organized back to back with the `Theme
Conference of the Royal Statistical Society on Statistical Genetics and
Bioinformatics,' to be held in Diepenbeek (Belgium), July 14-17, 2003.
The IWSM has always been a rich environment for applied statisticians with
different backgrounds, working in different environments, and with interests
in statistical modelling in its most general sense. We hope to continue this
tradition next year in Leuven, and we are very much looking forward to
meeting many of you on this event.
Best regards,
On behalf of the local organizing committee,
