>Because of the urgent need to maximize returns to survey projects and
>other data collection activities supported by the National Institute on
>Aging and other federal agencies, we will be hosting a 3-day training
>workshop in the theory and practice of statistical disclosure control. The
>workshop will take place from November 10-12, 2004, at the Pyle Center on
>the University of Wisconsin-Madison campus. Participants should plan to
>arrive by the evening of November 9: presentations will begin promptly at
>9:00 AM on November 10 and will end by 4:00 pm on November 12.
>
>Three specialists from Statistics Netherlands, Anco Johannes Hundepool,
>Eric Schulte Nordholt, and Peter Paul de Wolf, will conduct the training,
>which will provide participants with an understanding of the mathematical
>aspects of statistical disclosure control and the application of these
>methods using the ARGUS software. A more detailed description of the
>workshop to be held in Madison in November, a preliminary program, and
>information on the conference site and accommodations is enclosed. A final
>program, recommended readings, and information on conference facilities,
>lodging, and related logistics will be posted to the CDHA website as they
>become available (http://www.ssc.wisc.edu/cdha/seminars).
>
>We are extending invitations to all of the P30 demography centers funded
>by the National Institute on Aging, to the major aging-related survey
>projects, and to selected federal agencies, data archives, and
>professional organizations. Workshop materials and presentations will be
>geared to those with graduate training in statistical methods (e.g.,
>econometrics, demographic methods) and researchers experienced in the
>quantitative analysis of panel or longitudinal survey data. There is no
>registration fee, but participants are asked to pay for their own travel,
>for their lodging, and for evening meals (lunch and a light breakfast will
>be provided). Space is limited to 24 participants so we are asking those
>of you who would like to attend to submit a list of candidates from your
>project or institution ordered by priority. To ensure that a space is
>reserved for at least one participant from each interested project or
>institution, please submit your list by Wednesday, October 20 to my
>assistant, Mark Schmidt (email:
><mailto:mschmidt@ssc.wisc.edu>mschmidt@ssc.wisc.edu; phone: 608-262-4715).
