st: 4th German Stata Users Group Meeting
2nd Announcement and Call for Papers
--------------------------------------
The 4th German Stata Users Group Meeting will be held on Friday, 31th
March 2006 in Mannheim at the University of Mannheim. We would like to
invite everybody from everywhere who is interested in using Stata to
attend this meeting.
In the meeting various papers will be presented, but there will also be
time for discussion. Presentations will focus on three main topics:
user-written Stata programs, research and teaching experience using
Stata, and critiques of Stata facilities in specific fields. We are
very delighted that Alan Riley, Vice President of Software Development,
and Roberto Gutierrez, Director of Statistics, will be able to join us
and will inform us about the latest developments at StataCorp.
We are also delighted to have Andrew Pickles (University of Manchester) and
Roger Newson (King?s College London) as international guest speakers.
Andrew Pickles is one of the developers of -gllamm-, the famous user
written program for "Generalized latent linear and mixed models". Roger
Newson is an associate editor of the Stata Journal, and well known to
Stata users for various programs and articles in the Stata Journal.
The presentations of the international key note speakers will be on:
- Intervention evaluation using -gllamm - (Pickles)
- Resultssets, resultsspreadsheets and resultsplots in Stata (Newson)
The academic program of the meeting is being organized by Johannes
Giesecke, University of Mannheim ([email protected] ),
Ulrich Kohler, WZB ([email protected]) and Fred Ramb, German Central
Bank ([email protected]). The conference language will be English
due to the international nature of the meeting and the participation of
non-German guest speakers. Once a final program has been put together
it will be posted on the web (http://www.stata.com and
http://www.dpc.de) and mailed to the Stata users. The deadline for
submissions is 28th February 2006.
The logistics of the conference are being organized by Dittrich und
Partner, distributor of Stata in several countries including Germany
and Austria (http://www.dpc.de).
Participants are asked to travel on their own fees. There will be a
small conference fee (regular 20 Euro, students 10 Euro) to cover costs
of coffee, tea, and luncheons. There will also be an optional informal
meal at a Mannheim restaurant on Friday evening (costs: 20 Euro).
