Advances in model oriented design and analysis

Más información sobre el libro

This book features papers from the 6th International Workshop on Model Oriented Data Analysis held in June 2001. The workshop series began in March 1987 near Eisenach and has since taken place in various locations, including Bulgaria, Russia, Greece, and France. Initially aimed at fostering collaboration between scientists from Eastern and Western Europe in theoretical and applied statistics, particularly in experimental design, the workshops have adapted to the changing geopolitical landscape, making such exchanges easier. Despite the reduced barriers, providing opportunities for interaction remains essential. The MODA meetings are known for their friendly atmosphere, facilitating discussions between young and senior scientists that often lead to long-term collaborations. This stimulating environment is maintained by limiting participation to around eighty, encouraging communal living, and ensuring careful scientific oversight by the Programme Committee. The tradition of offering low-cost accommodation, affordable fees, and financial support for young and Eastern participants relies on sponsorship and external funding, which have been crucial for the success of these meetings.
