The London Stata Users' Group Meeting is celebrating its 10th
anniversary in 2004. We will be including in this meeting survey
lectures from Stata users of international repute and from senior
members of StataCorp aimed at addressing fields where Stata is
particularly useful.
All are welcome to attend and participate. You are invited whether
or not you have attended previously and wherever you reside. In
past years, we have had attendees not only from
Britain, Ireland, and other European countries, but also from the
USA, Australia, New Zealand, and elsewhere.
Survey lectures will be given as follows:
Kit Baum, Department of Economics, Boston College:
"Topics in time series regression modeling: testing for
stationarity; unit roots; long memory; and endogeneity in IV and
GMM contexts"
Roger Newson, Department of Public Health Sciences, King's College
London:
"From datasets to resultssets in Stata"
Jonathan Sterne, Department of Social Medicine, University of
Bristol:
"Meta-analysis in Stata: history, progress and prospects"
Vince Wiggins, StataCorp, College Station TX:
"Stata graphics, under the hood"
We will also include the usual mix of professional talks. If you
are interested in presenting a paper on a Stata theme, please
submit an abstract (100-200 words) by email by 15th March 2004 to
Nicholas J. Cox, University of Durham, email:

together with Patrick Royston, MRC Clinical Trials Unit.
Last, but not least, will be a "Report to users" by William Gould,
President and Chief Developer, StataCorp, and the ever-popular
"Wishes and Grumbles" session, when you can air your suggestions
and complaints directly to Stata's developers.
An optional, informal meal will be held at a London restaurant on
Monday evening. There is an extra cost for attending the dinner.
