Panel discussion of specific issues of statistical analysis.
It is planned to have a panel discussion in one of the plenary sessions. Participants could submit questions about the statistical analysis they have used for their data, with the idea of finding out from panel members whether there are alternative recommended statistical procedures that could be usefully employed. Interested participants should submit a short (less than 2 pages) description of their problem by August 10th. Panel members will then choose from the submissions which they would like to discuss.
