Summary 2000-2001
The fifth year of operation of NRCSE (Oct. 1, 2000 - Sep. 30,2001) has been focusing on proposal writing for continued funding. However, we have also pursued our rich agenda of scientific and outreach activities. During the year we had two workshops/conferences, one on spatial moving averages, organized by Jay Ver Hoef and David Higdon, and a NSF/CBMS Regional Conference on Environmental Statistics, with Richard Smith from the University of North Carolina as the main lecturer.
A serious setback in the communications between the EPA and NRCSE was the departure of Larry Cox, our scientific liaison, from the EPA at the beginning of 2001. We were unable to establish any similar connection inside EPA with another scientist.
The Center responded, in conjunction with Richard Smith and the EPA Northwest PM Center, to the request for public comment on the PM Criteria Document. We found the document seriously flawed in its analysis of the current literature. The special issue of Environmetrics, number 6 for the year 2000, produced under the auspices of NRCSE and entirely devoted to statistical aspects of analysis of PM data had, despite efforts both from NRCSE and EPA scientists to make the papers available for the review, been completely overlooked.
