The Southern California Chapter of the American Statistical Association presents

The 28th Annual Workshop in Applied Statistics

 

Advances in Count Data Regression

 

Professor Colin Cameron

Department of Economics, University of California, Davis

 

Saturday, March 28, 2009

at

University of California Los Angeles

 

ABSTRACT

 

This workshop will cover regression models for count data, such as data on the number of doctor visits. Both econometrics methods that view counts as one example of nonlinear regression, and statistics methods that view counts as one example of generalized linear models, will be presented. The four sessions will cover, respectively, basic cross-section methods, more advanced cross-section methods, time-series methods and panel-data methods.

2009 May 30: SCASA’s 4th Annual PosterComp at City of Hope
 Info on Poster Competion


SCASA’s 4th annual poster sessions competition for AP statistics students will be held as a separate event on May 30, 2009, at City of Hope National Medical Center in Cooper Auditorium. Chapter members are needed to help with the judging which is a rewarding experience as you will interview enthusiastic students on their statistical projects in a poster session format. For this generation of college graduates, many students may be getting their first and only formal training in statistics in the high school AP stat class. This is your chance to help insure that this generation sees statistics as an important and vital applied area with interested, engaged professionals.
