The *29th International Workshop on Statistical Modelling 2014*
will be hosted by the
*Centre for Statistics, Georg-August-Universität Göttingen, Germany*
*14-18 July 2014*
IWSM is the major activity of the Statistical Modelling Society, founded
with the purpose of promoting and encouraging statistical modelling in
its widest sense, involving both academic and professional statisticians
and data analysts. Since its first edition, the spirit of the workshop
has always been to focus on problems motivated by real life data and on
solutions that make novel contributions to the subject. As in previous
years, the workshop will bring together a wide variety of international
researchers, coming from all over the world and featuring different
levels of experience, to encourage discussion and interchange between
junior and senior scientists.
Göttingen, situated in the middle of Germany, is well-known for its
university and a rich and stimulating scientific environment in general.
It has been home of famous researchers like Carl Friedrich Gauß and over
40 Nobel prize winners in the past and still attracts a multifaceted
research community nowadays, creating an open-minded atmosphere that
makes Göttingen an ideal stage for the 29th IWSM. The conference venues
are located in the historic city centre, which is famous for its
medieval churches and characteristic half-timbered houses.
Confirmed *invited speakers* are
• Antoine de Falguerolles (Université de Toulouse, France)
• Alejandro Jara (Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile, Chile)
• Sophia Rabe-Hesketh (University of California, Berkeley, USA)
• Gerhard Tutz (Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München, Germany)
• Simon Wood (University of Bath, UK)
A short course on model-based boosting (including hands-on tutorials for
the R add-on package mboost) preceding the workshop will be delivered on
July 13, 2014 by Matthias Schmid, Andreas Mayr and Benjamin Hofner
(Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg, Germany).
Like in previous years the Best Student Paper, Best Student Presentation
and Best Student Poster will be awarded!
The deadline for *submission of abstracts* is January 31, 2014.
Registration will be open at the beginning of December 2013.
