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
