Dear PLS users and researchers,
 
We are very pleased to announce the 5th Statistical Workshop on "PLS (Partial Least Squares) Developments" in the ESSEC-SUPELEC Research Workshops Series.
 
As usual, the Workshop enjoys the presence of the current leading scholars in the PLS and related domains.
 
Workshop #5 is jointly organized and sponsored by the ESSEC Business School of Paris (www.essec.edu) and the SUPELEC Engineering School of Paris (www.supelec.fr).
It will take place at the ESSEC - CNIT building (amphi 203) at La Défense Campus (Paris, France) on 20 May 2011 (from 9:15 to 17:15) and will address the theme of:

Advances in PLS Predictive Modeling and Multi-block Data Analysis:
Feature Extraction and Variable Selection

Below please find the scientific program.
For the registration form, please contact Dr. Laura TRINCHERA ([log in to unmask]).
 
Participation in the Workshop is open to all interested people.
Registration is free of charges but compulsory for organizational purposes.
 
Deadline for registering (via e-mail or fax):  3 May 2011
 
The ESSEC Campus at La Défense is located in the CNIT building with direct access from RER A and metro 1 station.
More information at: http://www.essec.edu/student-life/campuses/la-defense.html.
Your travel time is of about 20 minutes from Paris centre to “La Défense” station.

We hope this initiative is interesting to you and we look forward to welcoming you at ESSEC – La Défense Campus in May!

Best regards,

Vincenzo Esposito Vinzi
