[Developers] Modern Modeling Methods 2013: Proposals due 1/31

[Hans J. Skaug]

Mark,

This sounds very interesting, and we should be represented
with a talk. If nobody volunters I can go. Would there be any travelling
funds available?

Hans

>The Modern Modeling Methods (M3) conference is an interdisciplinary
>conference designed to showcase the latest statistical modeling methods and
>to present research related to these methodologies. The third annual M3
>conference will be held May 21-22nd, 2013 at the University of Connecticut.
>Keynote speakers for the 2013 conference include Bengt Muthen, Judea Pearl,
>and Linda Collins. A full day preconference workshop by Kristopher Preacher
>(Multilevel SEM with Complex Applications) will be held on May 20th; a full
>day post-conference workshop by Bengt Muthen (Advanced Latent Variable
>Modeling using Mplus 7) will be held on May 23rd.
>
>We are currently soliciting both methodological research papers and papers
>that illustrate methodological techniques in the area of modeling, broadly
>defined. Papers related to multilevel modeling, structural equation modeling,
>mixture modeling, item response theory, and longitudinal modeling are
>especially encouraged. Given the interdisciplinary focus of the conference, it is
>completely acceptable to present papers that have been published or
>presented elsewhere. Presenters may select the length of the session that
>they prefer: 30 minutes, 60 minutes, or 90 minutes.  We also welcome
>proposals for multi-paper symposia on thematically grouped topics.
>Generally, symposia sessions will be 90 minutes in length.
>
>Conference proposals for the Modern Modeling Methods conference may fall
>into one (or more) of four categories: Methodological Innovation,
>Methodological Application, Methodological Illustration, or Methodological
>Evaluation.  Methodological Innovation proposals introduce a new technique.
>Methodological Evaluation proposals present the results of empirical research
>evaluating a methodology. Most often, these will involve simulation studies.
>Methodological Application proposals present the methods and results of a
>real research study in which the technique was used. Methodological
>Illustration proposals provide a pedagogical illustration of when and how to
>use the technique; these papers are designed to help the audience be able to
>implement the technique themselves. Methodological Research proposals
>should be no longer than 1000 words and should include purpose,
>background, methods, results, discussion, and significance. Methodological
>Illustration papers should be no longer
> than 1,000 words and should include a description of the methodology to be
>illustrated as well as an outline of the paper/talk. Graduate students are also
>encouraged to submit proposals, especially poster sessions. Proposals for
>symposia should be include titles and descriptions for all of the paper
>presentations within the symposium. In addition, we will hold a poster session
>and reception on May 21st. All proposals should be submitted electronically at
>http://www.modeling.uconn.edu/proposals.cfm
>
>Proposals for the 2013 conference are due January 31st, 2013. Notifications of
>presentation status will be emailed by February 28th, 2013. For more
>information about the Modern Modeling Methods conference,  go to
