Symposium on the Convergence of Methods for the Analysis of Panel Data
***********************************************************************
Southampton Statistical Sciences Research Institute (S3RI), University
of Southampton, Southampton, UK, Thursday 6 April and Friday 7 April,
2006.
The aims of this symposium are to explore the similarities and
differences of the various approaches to analysing panel data, their
advantages and disadvantages, their ability to handle observational data
from complex sample surveys, and their ability to account for panel
attrition, item non-response and measurement error.
The Symposium will feature oral presentations of invited and contributed
papers.
The invited speakers include: Ken Bollen (North Carolina), Joop Hox
(Utrecht), Andrew Pickles (Manchester), Fiona Steele (Bristol), Rolf
Steyer (Jena), Nanny Wermuth (Gothenburg).
Abstracts for papers concerning the Symposium's aims to be considered as
contributed papers should be sent to [log in to unmask] by 31
October 2005. These should be at most 500 words. The Scientific Advisory
Committee will select the contributed papers, and authors will be
advised of the committee's decision by 30 November 2005.
