Announcement -------------
We would like to announce the 8th German Stata Users' Group Meeting to be held in the Berlin Graduate School of Social Sciences on Friday, June 25, 2010. We would like to invite everybody from anywhere who is interested in using Stata to attend this meeting.
Presentations are sought on topics that include:
- user-written Stata programs, - case studies of research or teaching using Stata, - discussions of data management problems, - reviews of analytical issues, - surveys or critiques of Stata facilities in specific fields, etc.
The conference language will be English due to the international nature of the meeting and the participation of non-German guest speakers. (See http://www.stata.com/support/meeting for the proceedings of other user-group meetings.)
One of the keynote speakers will be Sophia Rabe-Hesketh, who is a developer of the modeling framework for Generalised Linear Latent and Mixed Models in Stata (GLLAMM).
The academic program of the meeting is being organized by Johannes Giesecke (giesecke@wzb.eu), Martin Groß (martin.gross@sowi.hu-berlin.de) and Ulrich Kohler (kohler@wzb.eu).
