Final announcement:
The Open University Statistics Group presents a 1-day conference on
VISUALISATION AND PRESENTATION IN STATISTICS
to be held on Wednesday May 18th, 2011, at the Open University in Milton Keynes (UK).
**** Final registration deadline: Wednesday, May 11th (in seven days !!!) ****
The conference aims to bring together people interested in both graphical and textual presentation of results of statistical analyses. At present, the perception among statisticians is that the presentation of statistical thought and statistical analysis is often wanting. Moreover, public confidence in official statistics is very low in European countries. It is time to debate concerns and to demonstrate examples of how results of research should be presented to the public.
The conference will feature a broad range of invited talks from Michael Blastland, John Aldrich, David Spiegelhalter, Kevin McConway, Rosemary Bailey, Martin Bland, Michel van de Velden, Tony Hirst and Jill Leyland, along with an introduction by John Gower.
Visualisation and Presentation in Statistics, the 24th Open University statistics conference, is aimed at BOTH statisticians and users of statistics.
We invite contributed poster presentations on the conference theme. The conference fee of 45 pounds covers registration, lunch and refreshments on the day.
Full details of the draft programme and conference arrangements, as well as the registration form and other relevant information, may be obtained from the conference website at http://mcs.open.ac.uk/su379/VIPS
