Working Group on Model-based Clustering
Tenth Anniversary Summer Session: July 19-23, 2004

Monday-Friday (five days) from 9:00am to noon, in room C-301 Padelford Hall, University of Washington Campus.

This is the tenth anniversary summer session of the working group. We will focus on model-based clustering methodology and applications, including gene expression microarray data, image analysis, and non-Gaussian data. There will be eight "long" talks (sessions of about 80 minutes, hopefully divided about equally between presentation and discussion), and eight short talks (15 minutes each, plus some discussion).
