These sessions with oral presentations of 15 minutes each will give a broad overview of the many different applications and usages of the R system that should appeal to a broader audience. Each talk is directly followd by a discussion.
These sessions with oral presentations of 15 minutes each will focus on topics of special interest and their goal is to provoke fruitful discussions in the respective user communities (e.g. Robust Statistics or Econometrics etc.). In focus sessions, plenty of time for discussion is reserved at the end of the whole session (rather than after each talk) to discuss all talks of the topic together.
All lecture rooms are equipped with a computer or laptop and an LCD projector.
All presenters should send a PDF (preferred!) or PPT (Office XP available only) file with their
presentation slides to useR-submit@statistik.tu-dortmund.de by 2008-08-01
(unless the presenters need their own laptop for software demonstrations).
