Advances in Latent
Variables Methods, Models and
Applications University of Brescia - June, 19-21
2013 meetings.sis-statistica.org/index.php/sis2013/ALV The International Statistical Conference SIS 2013 focuses on advances
in statistical methods and models for analyses with latent
variables.Recently, an
increasing interest has been devoted to this topic, from both methodological
and applied points of view. In fact, the “latent variable approach” allows to effectively model complex
real-life phenomena in a wide range of research fields. The aim of this SIS Meeting is to bring
together statisticians from different research fields, in order to exchange
approaches and experiences related to the analysis of the
unobservable variables and the study of the relationships among them.
Researchers interested in the current theme of the Meeting are invited to
participate. SUBMITTING A
CONTRIBUTION A short paper (in English, from 4 to 6 pages)
must be submitted to the Scientific Program Committee by February 15,
2013. Guidelines for short paper format
are available on the Conference web site. The papers received by the deadline
will be peer-reviewed, and the notification of acceptance will be issued by
April 30, 2013. Accepted papers
will be presented at the Meeting and included in the Book of Short Papers,
available to conference attendees. After the SIS
2013 Meeting, a selection of extended papers will be published by
Springer in the new book series “Studies in Theoretical and Applied
Statistics – Selected papers of the Statistical
Societies".
