Conference: Correspondence Analysis and Related Methods - CARME 2023 in Bonn

CARME 2023 is the nineth in a series of international conferences on multidimensional graphical techniques and the analysis of large data sets, especially categorical data. This conference will take place 26-29 September 2023 at the University of Bonn, Germany. You can find further information at http://carme-n.org/carme2023 or by contacting the local organizer Jörg Blasius jblasius@uni-bonn.de

Themes of this conference are:

• correspondence analysis in all its variants: simple, multiple, joint, non-symmetrical, taxicab and canonical correspondence analysis
• analysis and modelling of categorical data
• cluster analysis of categorical data
• geometric data analysis and social spaces
• compositional data analysis
• multivariate data visualization
• history of statistical graphics

Applications are welcomed in a wide spectrum of fields: sociology, marketing, psychology, finance, food research, education, linguistics, archaeology, biology, bioinformatics, biochemistry, geochemistry, networks, "big data", etc.

Proposals for papers and sessions can be mailed to: jblasius@uni-bonn.de

For a paper proposal, please send a title and a short abstract (maximum 200 words). Deadline: 15 May 2023.

For a session proposal, please send a session title and a short description of the topic and a list of possible speakers. Deadline: 10 October 2022.

This conference took place 3-6 February, 2019 in Stellenbosch/Cape Town, South Africa. Further information is on the conference website: http://carmesa2019.wixsite.com/conference

Conference: Correspondence Analysis and Related Methods - CARME 2015

CARME 2015 was the seventh in a series of international conferences on multidimensional graphical techniques and the analysis of large data sets, especially categorical data. This conference took place 20-23 September, 2015 at the seaside Conference Centre Frederico II in Naples, Italy. Further information can be found on the conference website: http://www.carme-n.org. The chair of the organizing committee was Simona Balbi, who sadly passed away early in 2018, and who is missed by all of the CARME community.

Workshop: Applied Statistical Genetics for Population-Based Association Studies

This workshop, presented by Andrea Foulkes, with Michael Greenacre running the R practical sessions in the afternoon, was hosted by the BBVA Foundation in Madrid, 13-14 October 2011. The workshop began by providing a general overview of genetic association studies and related genetic data concepts. Topics covered included types of investigations, linkage disequilbrium and Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, as well as the role of population substructure on associated measures and tests. Further, three analytical challenges common to these settings were described, namely multiplicity, ambiguity in phase and high-dimensionality. Selected analytic approaches are presented that specifically address these challenges, including multiple testing adjustments, haplotype reconstruction methods and tree-based approaches for discovery of gene-gene and gene-environment interactions. This course was aimed at medical and public health investigators with elementary knowledge of statistical concepts at the level of a first course in statistics or biostatistics.

CARME in ASSOS

An international meeting on Correspondence Analysis and Related Methods (CARME) took place in Assos, Turkey, from Saturday 1 October to Tuesday 4 October, 2011. Assos (Turkish name: Behramkale) is on the northern Aegean coast of Turkey, directly opposite the Greek island of Lesbos. It is historically associated with Aristotle, who lived there for three years (346-344 BC), was married there, and became the leader of a group of philosophers and scientists who started to formulate the classification of plants, animals and insects. The meeting was an offshoot of the quadriennial CARME conferences, the sixth of which took place in Rennes, France, in February 2011. Also were excursions to local places of cultural and archaeological interest.

The 9th Tartu Conference on Multivariate Statistics & The 20th International Workshop on Matrices and Statistics

The conference and workshop was hosted by the Institute of Mathematical Statistics, University of Tartu, Estonia. Tartu University is among the oldest universities in the Nordic-Baltic area, founded in 1632 by the Swedish king Gustav II Adolph. Nowadays it is a modern, fast-growing university with high academic standards for both teaching and research. The Conference was held under the auspices of the Bernoulli Society. The conference took place from 26 June to 1 July 2011.

Workshop BBVA Foundation: Biplots in Practice

The orientation of the workshop Biplots in Practice was towards understanding how the biplot functions and how it is applied in practice. Because of the universality and wide application of this methodology, the workshop was aimed at a wide audience of researchers in all disciplines, as well as statisticians and computer scientists interested in this subject. During the workshop applications were presented in many different fields of the social and natural sciences, including three detailed case studies where the biplot reveals structure in large complex data sets in genomics (where thousands of variables are commonly encountered), in social survey research (where many categorical variables are studied simultaneously) and ecological research (where relationships between two sets of variables are investigated). The Workshop FBBVA took place in Madrid, Spain, 4-6 October 2010.
