Symposium
To honour the 80th birthday of John Nelder, FRS
The statistics group at Imperial College is organising the above event,
to take place on the South Kensington campus of Imperial College London
on 29-30th March 2004.
The meeting will take the form of presentations by a number of invited
speakers, with additional contributed posters. Each talk will be of broad
interest, so that overall they touch on the areas in which John has worked
and had substantial influence. The eight papers will be published as a
book.
The mood will be celebratory and informal, providing an opportunity to meet
other statisticians working in a variety of fields, not least in those to
which John has made important contributions. There will be a dinner in the
evening of the first day.
At the time of writing, the following, listed in alphabetical order, have
accepted invitations to speak: Rosemary Bailey, Sir David Cox, Brian Cullis,
Youngjo Lee, Yudi Pawitan, Roger Payne, Brian Ripley, Stephen Senn and Jon
Wakefield. In addition, Michael Healy has agreed to give an after-dinner
talk on the first evening.
Details of accommodation, poster requirements, etc., can be found on the
