Symposium on Population Inference at Johns Hopkins University, Friday February 26, 2016

Liz Stuart announces this conference:

The Department of Biostatistics at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health is pleased to announce the Inaugural Ross-Royall Symposium focused on population inference, to be held on Friday February 26, 2016 in Baltimore, MD. This year’s symposium, “From Individuals to Populations” will highlight recent advances in statistical methods for making population inferences in public health. It will honor the contributions made in this area by Alan Ross and Richard Royall, both former faculty in the JHSPH Department of Biostatistics. There will be a particular focus on innovative methods that allow for population inferences despite a lack of formally representative data sources, or for enhancing inferences by combining multiple data sources.

The symposium on February 26 will include three sessions with leading researchers in the field as well as a concluding panel discussion and an evening reception. The session topics include “Population inferences from observational studies”, “Transporting treatment effects using randomized trials and observational studies,” and “Inference from internet samples.” We have lined up an impressive set of speakers and experts from across the country; see the whole listing below.

We hope many of you can join us for this exciting event, and help us continue the wonderful legacy of Alan Ross and Richard Royall.

Sincerely,
The Ross-Royall Symposium Organizing Committee
