General Information
SAMSI will host a one week undergraduate workshop intended for
college juniors and seniors focused on SAMSI research activities related to the
statistical and applied mathematical modeling and analysis of experimental
data. During the first day, a summary of research activities
in the 2009-2010 programs on
Space-Time Analysisfor Environmental Mapping, Epidemiology and Climate Change, and Stochastic Dynamics will be presented. In days two through five, participants will be involved in a hands-on experience. They will use mathematical and statistical models to analyze epidemiological data.
Tutorials on modeling, mathematical and statistical methodology will be given. Participants working
together in small teams will analyze the available data using mathematical and statistical software.
REGISTRATION IS CLOSED. WORKSHOP CAPACITY HAS BEEN REACHED.
