4th Workshop "Applied Statistics in LifeSciences"
 
Bern, 15th April 2011, 09:45 – 12:30
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The group "LifeSciences" within SSS serves as a networking instrument between practitioners and scientists in the Life Sciences interested in applied statistics and applied statisticians. At the meeting, each participant will shortly introduce her/himself. Thereafter, three open statistical problems from the Life Sciences are presented (about 15 min), and discussed in plenum (about 20 min). On the one hand, this is a good opportunity for practitioners and scientists in the Life Sciences to get feedback and professional consulting on their data analyses. On the other hand, it presents problems and needs concerning applied statistics to the statisticians. This workshop promises synergistic gains for both sides.
 
A short abstract of the three contributions will be sent to all participants beforehand.
