WORKSHOP: High-dimensional Inference and Complex Data
Statistics and the Life Sciences
WHEN: 23-25 November 2009
WHERE: Groningen, The Netherlands
WEBSITE: http://www.ndns.nl/workshops/sls
POSTERS: CALL FOR POSTERS OPEN!
FUNDING: PhD accommodation & registration grants available. See

Complex data and high-dimensional inference have almost become a
staple
diet for the modern statistician. For example, in the life sciences,
novel measurement techniques generate huge amount of data ("large p")
on
a relatively small number of units ("small n"). Sometimes interesting
structures, such as spatial information is also known, which makes
inference not only high-dimensional, but frequently also very complex.
This workshop presents the coolest heads in the field, such as Luigi
Augugliaro, Keith Baggerly, Michael Biehl, Cajo ter Braak, Peter
Diggle,
Paul Eilers, Ritsert Jansen, Siem Heisterkamp, Hans van Houwelingen,
Goeran Kauermann, John Nerbonne, Stephen Senn and Tom Snijders.
The workshop starts with a short course on Generalized Additive Models
by Prof Simon Wood (Bath) and has keynote speeches by Peter Diggle
(Lancaster) and Stephen Senn (Glasgow).
The workshop is sponsered by the NDNS+ Cluster and the Royal
Statistical
Society. Early registration fees, which include lunches and conference
dinner: 100 euro (academic), 50 euro (students, NDNS+ members), 200
euro
(industry).
