The 2010 Summer Research Conference (SRC) of the Southern Regional Council on Statistics (SRCOS) will take place June 6–9 at Old Dominion University, Virginia Beach, Virginia.

SRCOS is one of the largest statistical organizations in the United States, promoting statistical research in the southeast region spanning 16 member states. The purpose of SRCOS SRC is twofold: to encourage the interchange and mutual understanding of research ideas between young and established researchers, and to give direction to further research in a unique style.

This year, seven topics of contemporary interest will be covered:

• Spatial epidemiology
• Functional data analysis
• Multivariate and cluster analysis
• Machine learning
• Statistical shape analysis
• High-dimensional data analysis
• Design of clinical trials

A leading researcher will give a keynote address on each topic, to be followed by talks by two promising young researchers.

This conference is sponsored by the ASA and the National Institute of Statistical Sciences (NISS), among others, and is open to all. For more information, visit the conference web site here.
