[Hans J. Skaug]

Mark,

I have concluded that I cannot go to this meeting.
Maybe some other year.

>>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
