The Survey Research Methods Section is sponsoring the course Data Integration in Surveys and Clinical Trials: Methods and Software at the 2024 Joint Statistical Meetings. The one-day course will cover the fundamental concepts, methods, and software implementation for integrating data from sources such as observational studies including nonprobability surveys and clinical trials. The course will feature live demonstrations to illustrate practical applications. It is tailored to learners in statistics and other quantitative disciplines from academic institutions, government agencies, research organizations, and the private sector.

In addition to JSM, Statistics Canada’s 2024 International Methodology Symposium will take place in Ottawa from October 29 to November 1 and include workshops on the first day. This year’s theme is “Shaping the Future of Official Statistics.” Statistics Canada invites contributed papers that examine methodological challenges related to the production of official statistics in a modern era.
