Second Call for Participation

North American Stata Users Group Meeting

Boston, Massachusetts, 17 March 2003

The second North American Stata Users Group meeting will be held March 17, 2003 in Boston, Massachusetts at the Longwood Galleria Conference Center.

The content of the meeting is being organised by a committee co-chaired by Kit Baum, Boston College and Marcello Pagano, Harvard School of Public Health. The logistics are being organised by Stata Corp. Precise timings will be announced at a later date. An on-line registration form for the meeting, a dinner that evening, and the next day's optional short course on "Measurement error in nonlinear models" are available at http://www.stata.com, linked to that page.

Previous Stata Users Group meetings have been held in Boston (2001), Britain, Spain and the Netherlands. All meetings are open to anyone interested without regard for level of expertise or geographic location. Stata Corp will be represented. There will be the usual "wishes and grumbles" session at which you may air your thoughts to Stata developers.

The organizing committee invites offers of presentations. Presentations should be Stata-related in some manner. We encourage submission on any topic to do with the use of Stata in research, teaching or any other field. The following headings are illustrative, but not restrictive.

Using Stata for modeling and analysis
User-written Stata programs
Case studies of research or teaching using Stata
Using Stata to import and manage data
Using Stata for graphics
Teaching Stata
Teaching statistics with Stata
Surveys or critiques of Stata facilities in specific fields
Software comparisons

Meeting format:

Presentation proposals will be evaluated by the organizing committee. Those proposals accepted by the committee will require either 25 minutes of presentation followed by five minutes of discussion or ten minutes of presentation with five minutes of discussion. Please state the length of presentation preferred on the abstract submission.

Submission information:

Please submit an abstract (200 words maximum, ASCII text, no math symbols) to Kit Baum by December 15, 2002. Abstracts and contact information (name, affiliation, postal address, e-mail address, and phone number) should be entered on the on-line submission form (http://repec.org/nasug2003) if at all possible.

Presenters will be requested to provide materials related to their talk (slides and programs/datasets, where applicable) in electronic form, preferably prior to the meetings, to the organizing committee, so that they may be posted on Stata Corp's site and in the Stata Users Group RePEc archive.

The registration fees for presenters are waived, as is the fee to attend the following day's course on Measurement error in nonlinear models. Presenters are invited to attend the dinner on March 17; please email Lisa Gilmore ([email protected]) to tell her whether you will be able to join us for dinner on March 17th, and whether you will be attending the Measurement error
in nonlinear models course on March 18.
