STATISTICAL MODELLING AND ANALYSIS OF GENETIC DATA
Wednesday 22 May, 2002, 2pm
at the Royal Statistical Society lecture room
12 Errol Street, London EC1Y 8LX.
The Research Section of the Royal Statistical Society is organising a
joint meeting with the British region of the International Biometric
Society on STATISTICAL MODELLING AND ANALYSIS OF GENETIC DATA.
Registration (free) is required for this meeting. A registration form
appeared in the April edition of RSS news, and is also available at
http://www.maths.soton.ac.uk/staff/JJForster/RS/registration.pdf
The following papers will be read before the Society.
In the tradition of RSS Ordinary Meetings, papers presented at the
meeting will be published in JRSS, with discussion.
KW Broman and TP Speed
A model selection approach for the identification of quantitative
trait loci in experimental crosses
P Fearnhead and P Donnelly
Approximate likelihood methods for estimating local recombination
rates
B Larget, DL Simon and JB Kadane
Bayesian phylogenetic inference from animal mitochondrial
genome arrangements
G Nicholson, AV Smith, F Jonsson, O Gustafsson, K Stefansson and P
Donnelly
Assessing population differentiation and isolation from single
nucleotide polymorphism data
G Parmigiani, ES Garrett, R Anbazhagan and E Gabrielson
A statistical framework for expression-based molecular
classification
in cancer
Abstracts, and electronic copies of the papers are available from
http://www.maths.soton.ac.uk/staff/JJForster/RS/genetics.html
Hard copies are available by request from Anna Mair
(a.mair@rss.org.uk)
at the RSS.
The presentation of the papers will be followed by a 30 minute break
for tea, after which the vote of thanks to the authors will be
proposed
and seconded.
Fellows and visitors will then be invited to contribute to the
discussion.
Contributions must not exceed 5 minutes speaking time and 400 words
for
publication in the journal (excluding details of any references
quoted).
It may be possible to accommodate slightly longer contributions from
those
wishing to discuss more than one paper; in such cases application
should be
made in advance to the Research Section Secretary, Jon Forster
(J.J.Forster@maths.soton.ac.uk).
Written versions should be sent to the Executive Editor at the RSS, 12
Errol
Street, London, EC1Y 8LX, to arrive no later than 2 weeks after the
meeting.
If time allows, contributions received before the day of the meeting
may be
read out on behalf of anyone who cannot attend.
Although we will try to accommodate all discussants who wish to speak
at the
meeting, it may not be possible and those who inform us in advance, on
the registration form or by emailing Anna Mair (a.mair@rss.org.uk)
will be called first. Written contributions will be published in the
Journal.
Following the meeting, at about 7pm, there will be an optional buffet
dinner
(14 pounds per head, payable in advance by enclosing a cheque with the
registration form).
