This conference will discuss recent practical and theoretical issues present in measurement error problems stemming in public health, astronomy, and statistics.  Keynote speakers are three leading researchers in measurement error.

Professor Raymond J. Carroll (TAMU)
Professor Aurore Delaigle (University of Melbourne)
Professor David Ruppert (Cornell University)

Two short courses will be presented by Professors Delaigle and Ruppert about practical issues in Nonparametric Curve Estimation.  These courses are targeted for graduate students and applied scientists.

 

REGISTRATION CLOSED.
