"The Third Erich L. Lehmann Symposium" Rice University May 16 - 19, 2007 The four-day conference is the third of a series of symposia. The goal of the symposia is to examine the role that Optimality can play, or should play, in modern statistics. Due to the advent of high throughput data collection technology and the parallel development of computing power to analyze such data, it often happens that statistical theory gives way to computing power. Although most of the new exciting statistical methodologies have provided tools to make headway in many important scientific problems, a need to generalize and systematize this knowledge is now quite evident. The Symposia will take place at Rice University and will bring together a group of experts to discuss cutting-edge research optimality ideas in the context of modern statistical methodologies.

United States Conference on Teaching Statistics (USCOTS 07)

The second biennial United States Conference on Teaching Statistics (USCOTS 07) will be held on May 17-19, 2007 at the Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio, hosted by CAUSE, the Consortium for the Advancement of Undergraduate Statistics Education. The target audience for USCOTS is teachers of undergraduate and AP statistics, from any discipline or type of institution. Teachers of statistics at two year colleges and those planning a career in statistics education are especially encouraged to attend. The theme of USCOTS 07 is "Taking Statistics Teaching to the Next Level." Some topics include developing the second course; increasing student motivation; taking student learning to the next level using the latest technology; and implementing the GAISE guidelines. USCOTS 07 is a 'hands-on' conference with plenary sessions from leaders in statistics education, working breakout sessions, interactive idea exchange forums, and networking opportunities. Registration includes conference lunches and a banquet dinner. Resource materials on teaching statistics will also be provided to all participants. Some registration grants are available.

14th Annual Spring Research Conference on Statistics in Industry and Technology

The 14th Annual Spring Research Conference (SRC) on Statistics in Industry and Technology will be held May 21-23, 2007. The conference will take place on the campus of Iowa State University in Ames, Iowa, and will be hosted by the ISU Department of Statistics. The SRC is an annual conference jointly sponsored by the Institute of Mathematical Statistics (IMS) and the Section on Physical and Engineering Sciences of the American Statistical Association (ASA/SPES). The goal of the SRC is to promote cross-disciplinary research in statistical methods for engineering, science and technology. The conference brings together statisticians, researchers in the application areas, and industrial practitioners working in these areas. It provides a forum where participants can describe current research efforts, identify important problems and areas of application, and formulate future research directions.

Thirtieth Annual Midwest Biopharmaceutical Statistics Workshop (MBSW)

The workshop will be held on the campus of Ball State University in Muncie, Indiana. It is co-sponsored by Ball State University and the Biopharmaceutical Section of ASA. Peter Thall (M.D. Anderson Cancer Center) will present a ½-day short course on Bayesian Dose-Finding. The plenary speakers include Norman Breslow (University of Washington) on Design and Analyses of Two-Phase Stratified Case-Cohort Studies and Jason Hsu (Ohio State University) on All Things Are Connected: From Bioequivalence to Pharmacogenomics. The banquet speaker will be Mary Ellen Bock (Purdue University and President, ASA). Invited talks will be presented in three parallel tracks: Non-Clinical, Clinical, and Data Mining and Post-Marketing. Non-Clinical will focus on specification setting, multivariate methods, and Bayesian approaches. Clinical will focus on modeling and simulation, nonparametric and rank based methods, and bridging studies. Data Mining and Post-Marketing will focus on tools and resources for data mining, genomics and proteomics, drug safety, and post-marketing. There will also be a contributed Poster Session.
