Description: The GSS and WSS are sponsoring the 1st Seasonal Adjustment Practitioners Workshop. It is a one-day conference for attendees to share their experiences in producing seasonal adjustments, describe interesting problems, discuss best practices, and present applied research. The organizers are soliciting abstracts for presentations of interest to practitioners of seasonal adjustment. The abstracts should be less than 100 words in length for a presentation of about 15-20 minutes. Email esmd.seasonal.workshop@census.gov for information on submitting an abstract.

Description: Experimentation is one of the most common activities in scientific researches and industrial processes. An experiment is cost-efficient only when it is carefully designed and its results are correctly analyzed. The CEDA 2016 will highlight the most recent advances in the design and analysis of experiments and demonstrate their applicability to practitioners in scientific and industrial communities. In addition, it provides an excellent platform to share research ideas among senior mentors, junior researchers and Ph.D. students/graduates.
