New Orleans, Louisiana: 15-20 February 1990
The Section on Statistics of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) is
sponsoring several symposia and technical sessions of interest to statisticians at the AAAS An¬
nual Meeting in New Orleans, Louisiana, 15-20 February 1990. The Institute of Mathematical
Statistics, the Biometric Society (ENAR/WNAR), and the American Statistical Association are
AAAS affiliates and are cosponsoring some of these sessions. Today’s headlines—global change,
fraud and misconduct in science, substance abuse, perestroika, AIDS, scientific literacy, computer
viruses—will be featured subjects.
The meeting will take place at the New Orleans Hilton Hotel and Rivergate Exhibition Center.
Among some 250 symposia will be those on oil contamination in Prudhoe Bay (Alaska); recent
developments in high temperature superconductors; progress in AIDS treatment; perestroika and
scientific freedom in the Soviet Union; effects of substance abuse on women; scientific and public c
perceptions of global change; the use of animals in biomedical research; verification of threshold
test-ban limits; assessing scientific literacy; chlorofluorocarbons and atmospheric chemistry;
ethics and politics in the cold fusion case; the law and misconduct in science; scientific competi¬
tion; emotions and the developing brain; and the threat of computer viruses.

BALTIMORE MEETING
Yol. 18, No.6
BALTIMORE, MARYLAND
Located approximately forty miles northeast of Washington, D.C., Baltimore is situated on the
shore of the Patapsco River at the upper end of Chesapeake Bay. The home of Johns Hopkins
University (established 1876), Baltimore is also renowned as the site of the bombardment of Fort
McHenry by British soldiers in September 1814—the event that inspired Francis Scott Key to
write The Star Spangled Banner.
Baltimore boasts a wealth of attractions to entertain its many visitors. The revitalized Inner
Harbor forms the core of the city, complete with shops and restaurants of Harborplace, the Na¬
tional Aquarium, its rain forest and 5000 species of aquatic life, as well as the Maryland Science
Center and the IMAX Theater.
Of historical interest is Museum Row, encompassing the City Life Museum, 1840 House, Flag
House and Shot Tower. Other cultural and historical sites include the Baltimore Museum of Art,
Carroll Mansion, and the Babe Ruth Museum. And in addition Baltimore also offers visitors a
host of splendid restaurants featuring the wonderful seafood indigenous to the Chesapeake Bay re¬
gion. [My favourite is Bo Brooks.—Ed.]
LOCATION
The Stouffer Harborplace Hotel is located at 202 East Pratt Street in the Gallery at Harborplace in
the heart of Baltimore’s Inner Harbor. It is easily accessible—only twenty minutes away—from
Baltimore-Washington International Airport (BWI), and from interstate highways and Amtrak.
On-site parking is available at the current daily rate of US$9.
REGISTRATION AND SOCIAL EVENTS
The advance registration fees are specified on the Advance Registration Form (page 520). The fee
includes instructional materials (Short Course only), refreshment breaks, and the social mixer.
Non U.S. payments must be made on a United States bank.
Cancellation policy: an administrative fee of US$20 will be retained on all refunds. Refunds
are not ordinarily possible after the meeting has begun, and notice of cancellation must be sub¬
mitted in writing to the Office of Continuing Education.
Registration and a social mixer will take place from 7:00 to 10:00 pm, Sunday, 1 April 1990;
there will also be a short talk on “Optimal asymptotic boundary crossing probabilities of
supercritical nonstationary crab motion with second-order drift in Banach-valued polychromatic
contingency tables.”
A dinner reception for all participants will be held at the Walters Art Gallery on Tuesday
evening, 3 April 1990. The Walters is one of America’s great comprehensive museums with over
25,000 works of art, including paintings from the Middle Ages to Manet, and outstanding collec¬
tions of jewelry, ivories, and oriental porcelains. The cost for dinner will be $40 per person; as

Bozeman, Montana
17-20 June 1990
The 215th meeting of the Institute of Mathematical Statistics will be held in Bozeman, Montana,
17-20 June 1990. This will be the 1990 IMS Western Regional Meeting, held jointly with the
Biometric Society/WNAR. The deadline for receipt of abstracts in the Bulletin Editorial Office in
Montréal is 16 February 1990.

Special Invited Papers will be presented by Geoffrey R. Grimmett (University of Bristol) and
by Bruce G. Lindsay (Pennsylvania State University, University Park).
Bozeman is located in southern Montana, 90 miles north of Yellowstone National Park in the
mountain-encircled Gallatin Valley known to the local Indians as the “Valley of Flowers”. Origi¬
nally, Bozeman and its environs were Indian hunting grounds, later developing into rich agricul¬
tural lands, and now supporting a city of approximately 30,000 inhabitants. Since the young city
was located directly in the path of the bonanza gold miners, anyone heading to the gold fields
would most likely pass through Bozeman. The Bozeman Pass, with an altitude of about 6000 feet,
is on the Bozeman Trail extending from Julesburg, Colorado, to Virginia City, Montana, as traced
by John M. Bozeman, wagon master and trail guide (1863-1865).
Gallatin Field (BZN), the Bozeman area airport, is located 8 miles north-west of town, and is
served by Continental (from Denver), Delta (from Phoenix and Salt Lake City), and Northwest
Airlines (from Minneapolis/St. Paul). For those travelling by car, Bozeman is at the intersection
of Interstate 90 and US 191.
The city and its surroundings offer a wealth of recreational opportunities, including hiking,
rafting, splendid sightseeing, and trout fishing in blue-ribbon streams. During the meeting, group
tours of various areas including Yellowstone National Park will be offered. Montana State Univer¬
sity (MSU) was founded in 1893 and now accommodates a student enrollment of 10,000. MSU re¬
searchers are active in a variety of disciplines, including such topics of particular local interest as
high-altitude environments and snow mechanics.
Montana State University will host the College National Finals Rodeo during the week
preceding the meetings; the championship performance will be held on 16 June 1990 at the MSU
Indoor Arena. The MSU Museum of the Rockies offers a world-class planetarium (Taylor Planetar¬
ium), one of only six facilities in the world with a computer graphics system that can simulate
flight through space. As well, visitors to the museum can learn about 4 billion years of Northern
Rockies’ history through exhibits that range from paleontology and Native American artifacts to
historic photography, antique clothing and vehicles. The museum is the professional home of the
paleontologist Jack Homer, and houses several important dinosaur finds, including the skull of
MORT (Museum of the Rockies Triceratops), an 80-million-year-old nest of dinosaur eggs, and a
cast of a baby dinosaur emerging from its egg [special thanks go to Ellen Samuels of West
Lafayette, Indiana, for our illustration.] More information about dinosaur biology and the social-
structure of dinosaur communities has been discovered by MSU Museum paleontologists working
at Montana sites than has been found anywhere else in the world.

Workshop on Spread of Epidemics: Stochastic Modelling and Data Analysis
A Workshop on “The Spread of Epidemics: Stochastic Modeling and Data Analysis” is being organized for
8-12 August 1990 near Uppsala, Sweden. The place and time of the workshop have been chosen so that
participants can easily fit this meeting in with the IMS/Bemoulli Society meeting scheduled for Uppsala the
following week (13-18 August 1990)—see The IMS Bulletin, Vol.18, No.3, pp. 324-327.
The topics of the workshop will be recent advances in stochastic modeling of epidemic spread, the relations
between stochastic and deterministic modeling approaches, and between modeling, data analysis, and reality.
Researchers representing any of these three fields, as well as interested postgraduate students, are encouraged
to express their interest in attending the workshop. The number of participants may, however, be limited to
40-50 persons. An application for financial support has been made and it is hoped that accommodation and
meals at least will be subsidized.
We would be grateful if a preliminary sign of interest reaches us before the end of November 1989. Further
details about the workshop will be sent to all interested persons in January 1990.

Electronic Mail for The IMS Bulletin
As of 31 October 1989 all electronic mail (e-mail) addresses on the MUSIC-A system at McGill
University changed from code@MCGILLA to code@MUSICA.MCGILL.CA. The McGill Univer¬
sity Computing Centre has indicated that this change, from the node-name to the domain-name
structure, will have little effect. All e-mail addressed to The IMS Bulletin at MT56@MCGILLA or
MT56@MUSICA.MCGILL.CA will still be delivered, but it is strongly recommended that our e-mail
correspondents use the address in the domain-name format, which is MT56@MUSICA.MCGILL.CA.
This change to domain-name structure has been made so that electronic network access would be
“network independent”. This means that a user on CSNET, CDNnet, or ARPAnet, for example, can
reach us at MT56@MUSICA.MCGILL.CA without having to know that we are part of the NetNorth/
B1TNET/EARN network complex. This should also mean that message travel time may be shorter as
the route selected depends on the originating network.

Earthquake News
HAYWARD, CALIFORNIA
The IMS Business Office—and staff—did not suffer any ill effects from the 17 October 1989
earthquake. Items did fall from shelves, telephone service was interrupted, and (upon the advice of
the authorities in the Bay Area) the office was closed on Wednesday, 18 October 1989. The office,
however, returned to normal operation the following day. We wish to thank those who have ex¬
pressed their concern regarding our well-being.
Jose Gonzalez
IMS Business Manager
MONTEREY, CALIFORNIA
All reports indicate that the Statistics community of Northern California came through the 17 Oc¬
tober 1989 earthquake (now raised to a 7.1 level) in good shape. While Stanford suffered major
damage to its campus, Sequoia Hall has now survived both the 1906 and the 1989 ’quakes. John
Rice can claim to have presented a truly earth-shattering talk at Berkeley, his seminar being
interrupted by the earthquake! In addition to well-publicized Bay area devastation, the amount of
damage done to the communities in Santa Cruz and Monterey counties is awesome. Those of us
who live in the area and who escaped relatively unharmed have much to be thankful for.

Morris Merman (DeQroot: 1931 -1989
Morris Herman DeGroot, University Professor of
Statistics and Industrial Administration at Car¬
negie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, died of lung
cancer on 2 November 1989. He was 58.
Bom on 8 June 1931 in Scranton, Pennsylvania,
DeGroot received his B.S. degree from Roosevelt
University, Chicago, in 1952 and his Ph.D. from
the University of Chicago in 1958. He had been a
faculty member at Carnegie Mellon University
since 1957, and was the founding Head of its De¬
partment of Statistics from 1966 to 1972.
DeGroot was the author, co-author, or co-editor
of seven books and over 100 papers. He was a
Fellow of the Institute of Mathematical Statistics,
the American Statistical Association, the Ameri¬
can Association for the Advancement of Science,
the Econometric Society, and an elected member of
the International Statistical Institute. DeGroot was
the founding Editor (1986-1988) of the IMS
journal Statistical Science.
From 1976 to 1978 Morris DeGroot was Theory and Methods Editor of the Journal of the American
Statistical Association, and at the time of his death he was the Chairman of the Committee on Applied and
Theoretical Statistics at the National Academy of Sciences’ National Research Council.
The author of the undergraduate text Probability and Statistics (Second Edition 1986, Addison-Wesley)
and the influential book onB ayesian statistics Optimal Statistical Decisions (McGraw-Hill, 1970), Morrie was
also the co-author (with Richard M. Cyert, President of Carnegie Mellon University) of Bayesian Analysis
and Uncertainty in Economic Theory (Rowman and Littlefield, 1987), and co-editor (with Stephen E. Fienberg
and Joseph B. Kadane) of Statistics and the Law (Wiley 1986).
Morrie was not only an outstanding statistician. He was above all an individual of great warmth and charm
who took special pleasure in helping students and young faculty develop their careers. Morrie also possessed
a very strong sense of integrity, justice, and professional responsibility; this was most evident when a younger
colleague, Wen-Chen Chen, was killed during a visit to his parents in Taiwan in 1981. Morrie became deeply
involved in the public outcry and traveled to Taiwan to review the criminal investigation. In fighter moments,
Morrie was a devoted fan of baseball and a lover of classical music, opera, and jazz.
Morrie was justifiably proud of his family. He is survived by his wife Marilyn; his daughter, Jenny, of
Chicago; his son, Jeremy, of Berkeley; a stepson, Craig Fischer, of Baltimore; a stepdaughter, Jill Sweeney,
of Scranton; his parents, Archibald and Florence DeGroot, of Scranton; and a sister, Phyllis Weinstein, of
Rochester, New York. His first wife Delores died in 1974 of multiple sclerosis. The family has asked that
contributions be made to support cancer research. The Department of Statistics at Carnegie Mellon has also

These lecture notes result from the CBMS/NSF
Regional Conference held at the University of
Michigan in June 1987. Topics in invariance with
applications in statistics are discussed in nine
chapters—including integrals and the Haar
measure, group actions and relatively invariant
integrals, invariant statistical methods, models
invariant under compact groups, decomposable
measures, invariant decision problems, random
orthogonal matrices, finite deFinetti style
theorems, and finite deFinetti style theorems for
linear models.
The Institute of Mathematical Statistics and the American Statistical Association are proud to announce the publication
of this new Series. The volumes in this Series are based on the CBMS/NSF regional research conferences and join
SIAM’S CBMS Series in Applied Mathematics and AMS’s CBMS Series in Mathematics. Volume 1 will be available late
in 1989 with one volume expected per year thereafter.

IMS Executive Committee and Council Meetings: Minutes
Washington, DC : 5-9 August 1989
EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING: 5 AUGUST 1989
The meeting was called to order at 6:00 pm with President Ram Gnanadesikan presiding. The re¬
sults of the 1990 Council Election were announced. The Treasurer’s Report (see The IMS Bulletin,
Vol.18, No.5, September/October 1989, pp. 444-449) was read and discussed. The principle of
updating and reissuing the IMS Directory on a two-year schedule was upheld. The 1990 edition
will be postponed due to the expected publication of a 1990 COPSS Directory.
The Program Secretary announced that plans for Uppsala (13-18 August 1990) were moving
ahead. It was noted that the high registration fee includes a banquet, tours, coffee, etc. Whether
IMS will participate with ASA in 1993 was left open; bids may be forthcoming to host a stand¬
alone IMS meeting. Pending further clarification of the political situation, plans for the proposed
meeting in Kunming, China (1990), were left intact.
Editors’ reports showed no surprises. The Kolmogorov issue of The Annals of Probability will
be slightly delayed. CBMS lecturers will be invited to submit their lecture notes for publication in
the IMS/ASA CBMS Regional Conference Series in Probability and Statistics.
It was decided that our mailing list may be made available upon request for a fee and at the
discretion of the Business Office and Treasurer. The 1989 Fellows Committee’s concerns will be
transmitted to the 1990 committee. IMS cosponsorship of the “Interface” meetings was approved.
The meeting adjourned at 10:00 pm.
IMS COUNCIL MEETING: 6 AUGUST 1989
The meeting was called to order at 6:00 pm with President Ram Gnanadesikan presiding. The offi¬
cial results of the 1990 Council Elections were reported by the Executive Secretary. A motion to
expel delinquent members was introduced and passed. The President presented his report (see The
IMS Bulletin, Vol.18, No.5, September/October 1989, pp. 442-443).
The Treasurer’s report was presented and discussed. The dues and subscription rates proposed
by the Treasurer were formally accepted. It was decided to postpone publishing a new issue of the
IMS Directory until 1991 and to issue new directories on a biennial basis. The council approved a
resolution to appropriate $50,000 of IMS reserve funds as “The Annals of Applied Probability
start-up fund” to be expended in FY90 and FY91. The Council also agreed to establish cooperative
marketing arrangements with other statistical societies, expand the list of countries in which re¬
duced membership dues may be paid, and encourage two-year and grouped membership dues in such
countries and encourage gifts of individual memberships.
The Program Secretary reported on plans for the Uppsala Meeting (13-18 August 1990). The
Council approved the following meetings:
May/June 1991: Probability and Statistics in Industry
Philadelphia (Special Topic Meeting)
March 1992: Spring meeting with ENAR, Cincinnati, Ohio
June 1992: Summer meeting with WNAR - Location to be announced.
The Editors of IMS publications reported on another successful year. The Council passed a
vote of thanks for the splendid work done by Managing Editor Paul Shaman. The IMS Lecture
Notes!Monograph Series Editor announced the composition of the new Editorial Board (A. D. Bar¬
bour, J. A. Rice, W. E. Strawderman, R. J. Serfling). The Council approved page allocations for
FY90 as follows: The Annals of Statistics: 1750 pages; The Annals of Probability: 1650 pages;
Statistical Science: 400-600 pages.

The Committee to Select Editors recommended that George P. H. Styan be invited to serve an¬
other three-year term as Editor of The IMS Bulletin and that J. Michael Steele be invited to serve
a three-year term as founding Editor of The Annals of Applied Probability. The Council approved
both recommendations. The Current Index to Statistics Management Committee recommended that
E. E. Gbur be appointed as Editor of the Current Index to Statistics for a three-year term. Council
approved the recommendation. The Committee to Select Administrative Officers recommended that
R. L. Berger be appointed as Managing Editor (one of two positions) for a three-year term.
Council approved this recommendation. The selection of a second Managing Editor was deferred.
The Council approved the following lecturers for 1990:
Wald Lecturer: Sir David Cox.
Neyman Lecturer: Peter Whittle.
Special Invited Lecturers: Paul Deheuvels, Peter J. Donnelly, Paul A. L. Embrechts,
Peter Jagers, Niels Keiding, Wilfrid S. Kendall, and Bruce G. Lindsay.
The meeting adjourned at 10:00 pm.
IMS BUSINESS MEETING: 8 AUGUST 1989
The meeting was called to order at 6:00 pm by President Ram Gnanadesikan, with twenty-seven
members in attendance.
The results of the 1990 Council Elections were announced. The outgoing President made a
number of remarks and announced the 1990 Nominating Committee (see The IMS Bulletin, p.
443). Brief reports by officers and editors were presented and discussed.
A moment of silence for deceased members was observed. The outgoing President officially
ended his term of office by introducing the 1990 President, Shanti S. Gupta.
President Gupta spoke for a few moments and then adjourned the meeting at 7:00 pm.
1990 IMS COUNCIL MEETING: 9 AUGUST 1989
The meeting was called to order at 6:00 pm by President Shanti S. Gupta. Incoming council
members were introduced. A vote of thanks to outgoing council members was passed.
Representatives from NSF, ARO, AFOSR, and NSA were introduced; a lively discussion on Federal
Funding Activities and prognoses followed.
E. Wegman, Chair of the Committee to Select Administrative Officers, led a discussion on the
Managing Editor position. After lengthy debate the Council decided that the IMS journal and lec¬
ture-notes editors would meet with Paul Shaman, Prem Goel, Joseph M. Gani, the Treasurer, and
the Business Manager to formulate a policy on the Managing Editorship and would report to the
President as soon as possible.
Ram Gnanadesikan led a discussion on the setting up of an Elizabeth Scott Memorial activity.
An ad hoc committee comprising Jesica M. Utts, Marjorie G. Hahn, J. Michael Steele, and Nancy
M. Reed was formed and tasked with recommending an appropriate activity. The committee will
report to the President as soon as possible.
Bruce E. Trumbo reported on actions taken by the Current Index to Statistics (CIS) Manage¬
ment Committee including price changes, production of a linear models topics index, contract ne¬
gotiations with the American Mathematical Society, and a pilot project for the use of the CIS
databases in four major statistics departments. The council approved the new price structure rec¬
ommended by the CIS Management Committee. No action was taken on any of the other items.
Trumbo submitted a list of items for future council action.
The meeting adjourned at 10:30 pm.

$44.95. [ISBN: 0-12-398230-8]
Primarily concerned with multivariate problems (e.g., GMANOVA and covariance structures). Robust¬
ness here means that an optimality property of a test under a normal distribution holds exactly under a non¬
normal distribution, primarily orthogonally invariant and elliptically symmetrical distributions. Does not use
or refer to “breakdown”’ or “influence curve” side of robustness literature. Considers robustness of null and
non-null distributions, and robustness of optimality. TH

Selected Other New Publications
MATHEMATICAL GEOGRAPHY AND GLOBAL ART:
THE MATHEMATICS OF DAVID BARR’S “FOUR CORNERS PROJECT”
Sandra L. Arlinghaus, John D. Nystuen. Mono., No. 1. Institute of Mathematical Geography (2790 Briarcliff,
Ann Arbor, MI 48105), 1986, vii + 78 pp, $9.95 (P).
Analysis and calculation required to locate precisely coordinates on the land mass of the earth of an
inscribed tetrahedron with one vertex on Easter Island. These calculations formed the basis of a tetrahedral
“sculpture” erected by David Barr with four precisely positioned tetrahedral vertices at the four comers of the
inscribed tetrahedron. Includes generalizations to other platonic solids and refinements necessitated by
variation in elevation and curvature of the earth’s surface. LAS
LECTURE NOTES IN CONTROL AND INFORMATION SCIENCES-117:
STOCHASTIC OPTIMAL CONTROL THEORY WITH APPLICATION IN SELF-TUNING CONTROL
K. J. Hunt. Springer-Verlag, 1989, x + 308 pp, $44 (P). [ISBN: 0-387-50532-6]
Classic linear-quadratic-Gaussian (LQG) control theory is here modified to use a polynomial equation
approach, obviating the requirement that noise sources be Gaussian distributed, hence the name Stochastic
Optimal Control. The book uses this approach together with self-tuning as the adaptive control process.
Account is given of application of these techniques to control of steam pressure in the Hunterston, Scotland,
power station simulator. AWR

ADVENTURES IN CELESTIAL MECHANICS: A FIRST COURSE IN THE THEORY OF ORBITS
Victor G. Szebehely. U of Texas Pr, 1989, xiv + 175 pp, $27.50. [ISBN: 0-292-75105-2]
Delightful from the dedication (to the memory of Newton) to the concluding remarks 146 pages later.
Author’s purpose is “to demonstrate the beauty of orbit mechanics and celestial mechanics .... ” Emphasis
is on the basics. From Earth satellites in circular orbits to a restricted form of the three-body problem. Historical
remarks offer insight and background. List of contributors beginning with Aristotle. Roles of Euler, Lagrange,
Poincaré, Whittaker, Einstein, and others. The author is a masterful storyteller and his enthusiasm for his
subject is catching. Worked examples and problems to solve. Annotated list of major references. In a word,

International FAX Directory
FAX—or Facsimile—is fast becoming an essential form of communication between statisticians
around the world. A FAX machine allows one to send documents, including photographs and
drawings, over regular telephone lines to other FAX machines, which then reproduce (with vary¬
ing degrees of success) an “identical” copy of the original document. In the Bulletin Editorial
Office at McGill University, we send and receive information by FAX almost every day.
This International FAX Directory includes the various numbers, grouped by country, that we
have collected over the past several months. Our special thanks go to Jerzy K. Baksalary (Zielona
Góra), James O. Berger (Purdue), Gene H. Golub (Stanford), Harold V. Henderson (Waikato),
Tuulikki Mákeláinen (Helsinki), June Maxwell (Chapel Hill), Simo Puntanen (Tampere), and
Marco Scarsini (Roma) for their help. The country code, given in bold face, is followed by the
city routing or area code and the individual FAX machine number. In some countries the city
routing or area code must be prefixed by zero when dialling within the same country.
Unfortunately we do not always know the exact location within the institution of a particular
FAX machine, but we have tried to indicate where it might be found when we do not believe it to
be located within the institution’s central Telecom office. For example, we have listed the num¬
bers for six FAX machines at McGill University—the first number, 1-514-398-3594, identifies
the FAX machine in the McGill Telecom Office, while 1-514-398-3899 identifies the FAX ma¬
chine in the Dept, of Mathematics and Statistics (where the Bulletin Editorial Office is located).
We have also included numbers for the FAX machines in the McGill School of Computer Science,
Dept, of Epidemiology and Biostatistics, Faculty of Management, and Dept, of Psychology,
where McGill statisticians may also be reached.
This list was initially compiled for our own use and was later extended for publication in the
Bulletin; we are sorry that we cannot accept responsibility for the authenticity or accuracy of all
numbers. We would be pleased to receive additions and/or corrections by FAX at 1-514-398-3899,
by electronic mail at MT56@MUSICA.MCGILL.CA, or by regular mail addressed to The IMS Bulletin

Request for Proposals for the 1991 NSF-CBMS Regional
Research Conferences in the Mathematical Sciences
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
To stimulate interest and activity in mathematical research, the U.S. National Science Foundation
(NSF) each year supports 8-10 NSF-CBMS regional research conferences. A panel chosen by the
Conference Board of the Mathematical Sciences (CBMS) makes the selections from among the
submitted proposals. In the 21-year history of this Conference Series, a total of 207 such confer¬
ences have been supported. Each 5-day conference features a distinguished lecturer who delivers
ten lectures on a topic of important current research in one sharply focused area of the mathemati¬
cal sciences. [Harald Niederreiter will lecture on “Random Number Generation and quasi-Monte
Carlo Methods”, University of Alaska, Fairbanks, 13-17 August 1990.] The lecturer subsequently
prepares an expository monograph based upon these lectures, which is normally published as a
part of a regional conference series. Depending on the conference topic, the monograph is pub¬
lished by the American Mathematical Society (AMS) or the Society for Industrial and Applied
Mathematics (SIAM), or jointly by the Institute of Mathematical Statistics (IMS) and the Ameri¬
can Statistical Association (ASA). [See page 545 in this Bulletin for details of Volume 1 in the
Probability and Statistics Series: Group Invariance Applications in Statistics by Morris L. Eaton.]
Support is provided for about 30 participants at each conference and the conference organizer in¬
vites both established researchers and interested newcomers, including graduate students, to attend.
Distinguishing Features. The continuing success and strength of this conference series over
the last 21 years is due to certain distinguishing features which differentiate these conferences
from typical research conferences. These are:
1. Focus on a single important and timely area of research by a leading practitioner.
Each conference lecturer is a major contributor to the subject area of the conference and has a
broad perspective on that area. The lectures pull together die major ideas and recent results and
chart the possible future directions for the field. The purpose of this format is to ensure that the
participants, especially the new or recent entrants to the field, gain a deeper understanding of the
major outstanding problems and current directions of research in the field than they would get
from the typical conference format where many people present talks on their own results.

2. Continued effect and local stimulation through regional emphasis.
The purpose of the regional emphasis, with many of the participants drawn from areas geographi¬
cally proximate to the host institution is to provide a strong stimulus for increased local research
activity and to assure that the contacts made during the conference will continue. Participants in¬
clude not only established researchers but also newcomers to the field (for example, interested
faculty and graduate students from nearby institutions).
3. Panel review for quality, breadth, and timeliness.
Each year a panel of distinguished research mathematicians, appointed by NSF and CBMS and re¬
flecting the wide spectrum of research in the mathematical sciences, reviews all the proposals for
individual conferences. Thus all the proposals compete against each other, and the decisions on
which conferences to fund are made by leading representatives of the research community with a
broad perspective on current research activity. This helps to ensure that the topics chosen are ripe
for treatment in a conference of this type, that the principal lecturers are the most appropriate
persons to head such a conference, and that the series of conferences as a whole reflects and con¬
tributes to the broad range of national research activity in the mathematical sciences.
4. Published monograph for a wider audience.
The monograph based on the lectures presents, to a much wider audience than the conference alone
provides, a carefully prepared synthesis of and perspective on an active field of research by one of
its leading contributors.
Eligibility. Colleges or universities with at least some research competence in the field of the
proposal are eligible to apply and institutions that are interested in upgrading or improving their
research efforts are especially encouraged to apply.
REVIEW CRITERIA
Since individual proposals for conferences are evaluated on how well they satisfy the general aim
of the conference series, the criteria for evaluation are the following:
1. The significance of the chosen topic and the ripeness of the field for such a conference.
2. The competence of the proposed lecturer, both as a research leader in the field and as a
lecturer and expositor.
3. The extent to which the conference should be able to attract other researchers, mathe¬
maticians interested in entering the field, and graduate students, and thus be able to stimulate
additional research in the field.
4. The anticipated value of the resulting monograph to the larger mathematical community.
5. The value of the conference to its geographical region and the likelihood of continued
interaction among the participants at the conference.
6. The competence of the conference organizer (principal investigator at the host institu¬
tion) and the appropriateness of the site (host institution) as evidenced by the quality of the
proposal itself and the proposed local arrangements for housing, meals, etc.
PREPARATION OF PROPOSALS
Narrative. The narrative presents most of the information that determines whether a grant will
be awarded. Although no particular form is required, the description of the proposed conference
should cover the following points.
Subject. The proposed subject of the conference should be a topic of current research interest
and activity in one or more of the mathematical sciences. Here the mathematical sciences are un¬
derstood to include not only pure mathematics, but also applied mathematics, mathematical logic,
mathematical statistics, and operations research-management science. The proposal should con¬
tain an adequate description of the subject area and a bibliography of some of the important recent
work in the field so that the review panel can make an intelligent assessment of the significance
and timeliness of the proposed conference.
Principal Lecturer. Each conference is to have a principal guest lecturer from outside the host
institution. He or she should be both a leader in research in the proposed subject area of the con¬
ference and a good lecturer and expositor. The proposal should include an outline of the proposed
topics to be covered in the lectures, and a curriculum vitae and recent bibliography of the princi-


574
NSF-CBMS RESEARCH CONFERENCES
Vol.18, No.6
pal lecturer. The proposal must contain a written commitment from the principal lecturer stating
that, if the conference is funded, the lecturer will deliver ten lectures during the five days of the
conference and will submit to CBMS, within six months following the conference, a substantial
expository paper based on the lectures.
Participants. A conference proposal should include funds to provide for about 25 to 30 par¬
ticipants. Participants other than the principal lecturer are not normally named in advance in the
proposal. Rather it is expected that after a conference is funded, the host institution will publicize
the coming conference and invite applications from qualified participants. It is the host institu¬
tion’s responsibility to select the participants. These would normally be persons already working
at the research level in some area of the mathematical sciences whose research activities would
profit from the lectures and the other stimuli and interactions that the conference would provide.
Participants are provided with lodging and meals, and some travel support, by the host institu¬
tion’s grant, but do not receive stipends. A reasonable allowance for participants’ travel and sub¬
sistence should thus be the major budgetary item in the host institution’s proposal. While a few
additional lectures by especially well-qualified participants may enhance the conference’s value, it
is important that the conference provide ample time for informal discussions about the principal
lectures, and hence, contributed papers by participants are emphatically discouraged.
Local arrangements. The host institution is responsible for carrying out all local planning,
arrangements, advertising, and management of its conference. In addition to the items already dis¬
cussed this includes: arranging for appropriate lecture halls and informal meeting places, accom¬
modations and meals for the participants, headquarters for mail and information, secretarial ser¬
vices and duplicating facilities for schedules and announcements, reproduction of interim lecture
notes, and special equipment such as projectors.
Conference Dates. Conferences proposed for 1991 should normally be scheduled to occur
sometime after the end of classes in May 1991 and before the beginning of classes in September
1991, but may also be scheduled during December 1991 or January 1992 when most colleges and
universities are in recess.
Budget. The proposal should contain a reasonably detailed budget. Budgetary items and their
costs will vary considerably, depending on the location and character of the host institution, the
estimated average distance participants will travel, the availability of low cost lodging in dormi¬
tories, and similar factors. Some typical budget items that may be suitable are the following:
travel and lodging for the principal lecturer; travel and lodging for 25 to 30 participants; confer¬
ence organizer’s salary (about half-a-month); secretary’s or administrative assistant’s salary;
printing of advertising materials; telephone and postage; duplicating. It should be noted that
participant support costs are usually excluded from die direct costs when indirect costs are
computed. As in the case of all NSF award decisions, the total cost of the proposal is a
consideration in the evaluation and selection process. For informational purposes, typical awards
vary between US$19,000 and $25,000.
ASSEMBLY AND SUBMISSION OF PROPOSALS
Proposals should be assembled in the following order: cover sheet (NSF form 1207), information
about principal investigator (NSF form 1225), summary proposal budget (NSF form 1030), narra¬
tive letter of commitment from the principal lecturer, curricula vitae of principal investigator and
principal lecturer, appendices (if any). The cover sheet should list the conference organizer as
principal investigator and the host institution as the submitting organization. The title should be:
NSF/CBMS Regional Conference in the Mathematical Sciences - “proposed conference title” -
proposed conference dates. Twenty copies of the complete proposal should be sent to: Special
Projects Program, Room 339 Division of Mathematical Sciences, National Science Foundation
1800 G Street NW, Washington, DC 20550, USA, so that they arrive by Monday, 2 April 1990.
Principal investigators will be notified as soon as possible (usually mid summer) as to the status
of their proposals. Formal announcement of awards will be made by 2 October 1990.
Further Information. Inquiries concerning this conference series or the preparation of propos¬
als for conferences should be directed to the Conference Board of the Mathematical Sciences, 1529
Eighteenth Street NW, Washington, DC 20036, USA; (202) 293-1170.

Abstracts of Papers Presented by Title
89t-43. SIMULATION-CUM-REGRESSION APPROACH TO SMALL AREA ESTIMATION
B. D. TIKKIWAL, University of Rajasthan, Jaipur.
Recent work in the field of small area estimation is reported in depth in international conferences
[Small Area Statistics, Eds. R. Platek et al., Wiley, 1987; Bull. Inst. Internat. Statist. 1987]. This
new SRA-approach is explained below with a simple agricultural situation wherein only one vari¬
able for multi-stage population is of interest. For a fertilizer experiment in selected cultivators’
fields in selected villages of selected blocks in a zone of a district, we use the mixed effects
ANOVA model Yiki = p + + T¡ + (BT),*/ + vik + ziki with y¡k¡ denoting the /th treatment, the crop
yield of a plot in a cultivator’s field in the fcth village of the ith block in the zone. In a recent
study [Ph.D. Thesis of A. A. Khidhair (1988)] under the supervision of the author, it is noted that
this model can simulate yields at village area level onward and data so simulated at block level is
used for evolving best sampling strategy for such experiments. In another study in progress on
Crop Estimation Surveys, it is further noted that simulation, by itself, does not help to improve
the efficiency of yield estimates at the district level, unless we use auxiliary information along
with building up multi-stage-cum-multiphase regression estimators of the type considered in the
literature [Agarwal & Tikkiwal,Sankhya Ser.C 42(1980):31-44; Tikkiwal, J. Indian Statist. Assoc.
3(1965): 125-135]. [Received: 17 September 1989.]
89t-44. ICE FLOE IDENTIFICATION IN SATELLITE IMAGES USING MATHEMATICAL MORPHOLOGY AND
CLUSTERING ABOUT PRINCIPAL CURVES
Jeffrey D. BANFIELD, Montana State University, Bozeman,
and Adrian E. RAFTERY, University of Washington, Seattle.
Identification of ice floes and their outlines in satellite images is important for understanding
physical processes in the polar regions, for transportation in ice-covered seas and for the design
of offshore structures intended to survive in the presence of ice. At present this is done manually,
a long and tedious process which precludes full use of the great volume of relevant images now
available. We describe an automatic and accurate method for identifying ice floes and their out¬
lines. Floe outlines are modeled as closed principal curves [Hastie and Stuetzle, J. Amer. Statist.
Assoc., 84(1989):502-516], a flexible class of smooth non-parametric curves. We propose a ro¬
bust method of estimating closed principal curves which reduces both bias and variance. Initial
estimates of floe outlines come from the erosion-propagation (EP) algorithm, which combines
erosion from mathematical morphology with local propagation of information about floe edges.
The edge pixels from the EP algorithm are grouped into floe outlines using a new clustering algo¬
rithm. This extends existing clustering methods by allowing groups to be centered about principal
curves rather than points or lines. This may open the way to efficient feature extraction using
cluster analysis in images more generally. The method is implemented in an object-oriented pro¬
gramming environment for which it is well suited, and is quite computationally efficient.

89t-45. TIME INTEGRATED LEAST SQUARES ESTIMATORS OF REGRESSION PARAMETERS OF
INDEPENDENT STOCHASTIC PROCESSES
Tiee-Jian WU, University of Houston,
and M. T. WASAN, Queen s University, Kingston, Ontario.
Industrial processes may be continuously monitored by instruments under control of microproces¬
sors. Thus the data are usually obtained in the form of sets of (continuous) curves over certain
time intervals. This paper presents a method of estimating regression parameters in terms of the
sample paths from independent stochastic processes. Time-integrated least squares estimators of
the parameters are obtained which are unbiased, translation invariant, consistent, and asymptoti¬
cally jointly normal. Since technically it is difficult to compute these estimators, using analog-
to-digital conversion of continuous processes which are time sampled at regular intervals, optimal
approximations of the estimators are considered which are very easily computable and their
asymptotic properties are appended. [Received: 17 October 1989.]
89t-46. Ip NONUNIFORM BOUNDS FOR ASYMPTOTIC NORMALITY OF LINEAR RANK STATISTICS
Tiee-Jian WU, University of Houston.
An Lp, 1 < p < °o, nonuniform central limit order bound 0(N“1/2) for simple linear rank statistics is
obtained. The theorem is proved for a wide class of scores including those of van der Waerden and
Wilcoxon. It extends and improves some known results obtained in this direction. [Received: 17
October 1989.]
89t-47. ON BAYESIAN ROBUSTNESS OF CONTAMINATED CLASSES OF PRIORS
Alan E. GELFAND and Dipak K. DEY, University of Connecticut, Storrs.
We consider the problem of measuring Bayesian robustness of classes of contaminated priors.
Global measure using Kullback-Leibler divergence of posterior distributions and its curvature is
considered for the classes of e-contaminated priors. Calculation of ranges of the curvatures for
several classes of priors are given which include multidimensional problems and nonconjugate
cases. [Received: 31 October 1989.]
89t-48. SIMULTANEOUS ESTIMATION OF PARAMETERS FROM THE COMPOUND POWER SERIES DIS¬
TRIBUTIONS UNDER NORMALIZED SQUARED ERROR LOSS
Dipak K. DEY and Younshik CHUNG, University of Connecticut, Storrs.
Compound multivariate power series distribution is obtained by mixing p -independent power se¬
ries distributions by a mixing distribution. The scale parameters of the mixed distribution are then
estimated under normalized squared error losses. The improved estimators are obtained over the
unbiased estimators for p > 2, by solving certain difference inequality. Examples are given which
include compound Poisson and negative binomial distributions. Robustness of the Clevenson-
Zidek type and several other estimators are shown, when the p distributions are dependent through
the mixing process. [Received: 31 October 1989.]

CHANGES IN NSF PROPOSAL FORMAT
The National Science Foundation (NSF) is announcing two important changes in proposal format
to underscore: (a) The importance of education and human resources within research supported by
the NSF; and (b) The importance of quality of publications in the merit review process.
IMPORTANCE OF EDUCATION AND HUMAN RESOURCES
One established criterion in NSF’s merit review of proposals is the effect of the proposed research
on the infrastructure of science and engineering. Reviewers are asked to consider the potential of
the proposal to improve the quality, institutional distribution, or effectiveness of U.S. scientific
and engineering research, education, and work force. The NSF is particularly concerned about the
development of scientists and engineers for the future. To make this more explicit, Principal In¬
vestigators (Pis) will now be asked to specify the relationship of the project to the education and
development of human resources.
IMPORTANCE OF QUALITY OF PUBLICATIONS IN THE MERIT REVIEW PROCESS
Evaluation of scientific productivity must emphasize quality of published work rather than quan¬
tity. To ensure this emphasis, NSF will now limit the number of publications considered in re¬
viewing a grant application. Reflecting these emphases, the following changes will be effective
for proposals submitted on or after 1 October 1989.
PROPOSAL FORMAT CHANGES
(1) Education and Human Resources: A statement must be included specifying the potential of
the proposed research to contribute to the education and the development of human resources in
science and engineering at the postdoctoral, graduate, and undergraduate levels. This statement
may include, but is not limited to, the role of the research in student training, course preparation,
and seminars, particularly for undergraduates. Special effectiveness or achievement in the area of
producing professional scientists and engineers from groups presently underrepresented should be
described.
(2) Biographical Sketches, in addition to data on educational background and career, must now
include the following information:
(a) A list of up to five publications most relevant to the research proposed and up to
five other significant research publications. Patents, copyrights, or software systems de¬
veloped may be substituted for publications. These publications may overlap the con¬
tinuing requirement for a list of all publications resulting from and citing prior NSF sup¬
port. A complete list of publications for the past five years is no longer required. Only the
list of ten will be used in merit review.
(b) A list of the names of graduate students with whom the PI has had an association as
thesis advisor and postdoctoral scholars sponsored by the PI over the past five years, with
a summary of the total numbers of graduate students advised and postdoctoral scholars
sponsored.
(c) To avoid potential conflicts of interest in merit review, a list of scientists with
whom the investigator has had a long-term association and/or with whom he/she has
collaborated on a project or a book, article, report or paper within the last forty-eight
months; and the investigator’s own graduate and postdoctoral advisors. These changes will
be incorporated into the next revision of Grants for Research and Education in Science and
Engineering (GRESE).

1989 PIERRE ROBILLARD AWARD
The objective of the 1989 Pierre Robillard Award is to recognize the best Ph.D. thesis written in
a field covered by The Canadian Journal of Statistics and defended at a Canadian University in
1989. Submitted theses will be evaluated by a panel of judges appointed by the President of the
Statistical Society of Canada; their decision will be final. Judging will be on the basis of the
level of originality in the ideas and techniques, the possible applications and their treatment, and
the potential impact on the statistical sciences. The panel may arrive at the conclusion that more
than one or, alternatively, that none of the submitted theses merits the award.
The award consists of a certificate, a monetary prize, and a one-year membership in the Statis¬
tical Society of Canada. The winner will be invited to present a communication based on the the¬
sis at the 1990 Annual Meeting of the Society (St. John’s, Newfoundland, 3-6 June); assistance
with expenses to attend the meeting may be provided. The winner will also be invited to submit a
paper based on the thesis to The Canadian Journal of Statistics. If submitted within a year of re¬
ceipt of the award, the paper will be given special attention (rapid decision, rapid publication if
accepted, help from the editorial board, ...). If accepted, the paper will be identified when pub¬
lished as being based on the thesis that won the Pierre Robillard Award; the names of the univer¬
sity and the thesis supervisor will be clearly indicated. The thesis supervisor could be a coauthor
of the paper.

ORIGIN OF “PIVOT ELEMENT”
I wonder if you can tell me who first used the term “pivot element”. Did Gauss ever use such a
term? Do you think of pivoting as a sort of exchange or do you think of it as a process by which
a new representation of the system is obtained? These are rather natural questions; I’ve looked all
over the place and have not found any discussion of them. Any clues or pointers would be very
welcome.

CENTER FOR STOCHASTIC AND CHAOTIC PROCESSES OPENS IN CLEVELAND
The Center for Stochastic and Chaotic Processes in Science and Technology was established last
summer at Case Western Reserve University. The Center’s goal is to organize, encourage and sup¬
port research on and education in probabilistic and nonlinear dynamical systems techniques as ap¬
plied in science and technology. A study of related foundational and theoretical mathematical is¬
sues is an integral part of the Center's research. The unique feature of the Center is a synergistic
interaction between viewpoints of mathematicians, physicists, chemists, biologists, computer
scientists, and engineers, working in the Center on equal footing. The following areas are empha¬
sized at this time: linear and nonlinear stochastic differential equations, stochastic methods in
molecular science and engineering, random structures and media, stochastic processes in condensed
matter physics, chaotic phenomena, strange attractors, and some related theoretical topics such as
large deviations and measure-valued diffusions. The Center has its own computer facility equipped
with SUN SPARCstations with a link to the Ohio Supercomputing Center. It is currently supported
by Case Western Reserve University, group grants from the U.S. National Science Foundation and
Office of Naval Research and other individual grants.

CENTER FOR COMMUNICATIONS RESEARCH
The Institute for Defense Analyses (IDA) and the National Security Agency (NSA) have announced
the establishment of a new Center for Communications Research at La Jolla, California, modeled
after the IDA Communications Research Division in Princeton. The new center will seek to foster
stronger technical interactions with the West Coast academic and industrial research community.
The Communications Research Division (CRD) will change its name to Center for
Communications Research-Princeton effective 1 January 1990. Both centers will be operated by
the Institute for Defense Analyses in support of the mission of NSA. The Princeton center was es¬
tablished in 1959. It conducts fundamental mathematical research in communications theory and
allied fields. Staff members and visitors have made numerous significant research contributions
which have been widely published in the mathematical literature. Among these are the solution of
the Bernstein conjecture (Simons) and the MacDonald conjecture (Mills, Robbins, Rumsey), as
well as portions of the Feit-Thompson work on simple groups and Volume 3 of Knuth’s Art of
Computer Programming. Two recent contributions were featured in Science—Elkies resolved the
famous Euler problem while visiting at IDA/CRD and the IDA/CRD CRAY supercomputer was used
to complete the Concordia College proof of the nonexistence of projective planes of order 10.
The Center for Communications Research-Princeton has a research staff of forty-four, the ma¬
jority of whom hold Ph.D’s in mathematics. The Center for Communications Research-La Jolla
will eventually grow to approximately twenty-five mathematical scientists. The center at Prince¬
ton has always been led by a mathematician, and the directors have included such eminent figures
as J. Barkley Rosser, A. Adrian Albert, and Gustav Hedlund. The current Director is David I.
Lieberman, and the Deputy Director is David M. Goldschmidt Melvin Sweet is the Acting Director
of the La Jolla Center. The Princeton unit has maintained close ties with the academic community,
and its annual summer workshops and one-year visiting staff memberships have attracted promi¬
nent personalities in the fields of computer science and mathematics.
The Institute for Defense Analyses’ establishment of the Center for Communications Re¬
search-La Jolla represents another facet of NSA’s efforts to stimulate mathematical research and to
increase its interaction with the mathematical and scientific communities. Vice Admiral William
Studeman, the Director of NSA, has repeatedly stressed his concerns about the health and vitality
of mathematics in the United States. He recently addressed a meeting of the American Mathemati¬
cal Society on this subject. Since assuming his duties, he has increased the Agency’s grants pro¬
gram in support of academic research and has urged Agency mathematicians to play a more active
role in the national efforts to improve mathematics education.

THE ROYAL STATISTICAL SOCIETY LIBRARY*
Since 1985 the library of The Royal Statistical Society has been housed, together with the statis¬
tical books and journals of University College London, in the Bloomsbury Science Library (DMS
Watson Building). The library covers statistical theory and methods and closely related scientific
(especially mathematical) subjects, kindred scientific methods such as operational research and
econometrics, and a wide range of subjects where problems in applied statistics arise.
Fellows of the Royal Statistical Society who register as library users have access to the whole
of the University College library as well as to the Society’s library. Application forms can be
obtained from Mrs. Julia Munro [(44-1) 387-7050, ext. 2638] and it is recommended that these
formalities be completed in advance in order to avoid delay when first visiting the library.
Visitors are recommended to use the entrance in Malet Place: the DMS Watson building is on
the left, inside the gates. Journals are on the third floor and books are on the fourth floor. En¬
quiries of an administrative nature should be directed to the science issue desk.
The library is open during term time from 9.30am-9.00pm Monday-Friday and 9.30am-4.00
pm Saturday, during Christmas and Easter vacations: 9.30am-7.00pm Monday-Friday (closed Sat¬
urday), and during Summer vacation: 9.30am-5.00pm Monday-Friday (closed Saturday). Most
books may be borrowed for a period of eight weeks; journals may not be borrowed but there are
photocopying facilities available in the library for use by Fellows. In exceptional circumstances

Biostatistica is a new literature review journal that will contain the full abstracts of published ar¬
ticles, reports, proceedings, books, and preprints that relate to mathematical aspects of biology.
Biomathematics is a dynamic and exciting field, and the literature is becoming diffuse; some
material appears in Biometrics, some appears in Operations Research, still more in Simulation.
Our service regularly scans over 120 abstracts of unpublished work. The unpublished works are
critical in developing meta-analyses, particularly in clinical applications. Please submit your
preprints today. Other service aspects of this journal include: Statistics journals’ contents; index
in each issue; book review index; cumulative index annually; book contents; subject classifica¬
tion; calendar of events. Publishing particulars: First volume, 1990; published quarterly; personal
rate: US$45.00; institutional rate: US$89.00; claims honored gratis for one year.

Statistical Theory and Applied Research
A new quarterly journal named Statistical Theory and Applied Research is due to appear in 1991.
This journal is a joint Soviet, French, and Italian venture that aims to publish articles and reviews
on statistical inference, data analysis, and applications of mathematical statistics and statistical
software. The journal will be published in English, and its aim is to facilitate the exchange of in¬
formation between Soviet statisticians and their foreign colleagues.

Recent Publications in Omithometrics
During the April 1989 EURING/MEG Conference on the Statistical Investigation of Avian
Population Dynamics using data from ringing recoveries and live recaptures of marked birds
(Sempach, Switzerland), it was decided to produce a list of recent publications about twice a year.
Initially the scope is likely to be statistical methods for capture/recovery and capture/recapture
data, possibly including papers that develop (or contain interesting applications of) methods that
analyze the types of data that are, to at least some extent, special to ornithology. Beside recovery
and recapture data, the types of data produced by nest record cards, moult schemes, the Common
Bird Census, radio-tracking, etc., require the development of custom-built statistical methods.
Anyone wishing to supply references (or reprints) of “omithometrical” papers that have appeared
in 1988-89, may send them to me. I will also be pleased to hear from anyone who was not at the
conference in Sempach but who would like to receive Recent Publications in Omithometrics.

MSI WORKSHOP ON STABLE PROCESSES SLATED FOR JANUARY
The Mathematical Sciences Institute (MSI) at Cornell University, is hosting a workshop on Stable
Processes and Related Topics, 9-13 January 1990. Organized by Gennady Samorodnitsky, the
workshop will focus on the mathematics of stable processes, a special type of random process
found among nature’s microscopic forces that is reflected in everything from the weather to stock
prices. Mathematical models of random processes are used as predictors. For example, changes in
the stock market appear erratic and seem to lack continuity. But a practical algorithm that models
the random processes behind it might reveal how the stock market will behave. Valuable as in¬
sight into stable processes may be, they have not received the same level of attention from the
scientific community as Gaussian processes, which are easier to describe and are supported by
more highly developed mathematics.
“There has not been a gathering of people who work in the area [of stable processes] for
many years,” says Samorodnitsky, “but there is enough interest today to warrant a meeting. It is a
good idea for mathematicians who work in the area and people who want to apply it in industry to
get together and discuss needs and direction in which the field should go.” Samorodnitsky expects
that as the field of stable processes develops, more people will use it. Samorodnitsky says
mathematicians need to develop statistical decision problems based on assumptions of stability as
well as the practical algorithms and software that are the tools to solve these problems. “The task
is to develop practical algorithms that apply to the theory,” says Samorodnitsky. Scientists are at
least five years from realizing that goal.

APPRECIATION OF INNOVATIONS
I have just finished reading The IMS Bulletin for July/August 1989 and I want to express my ap¬
preciation for some of the innovations I have seen in the Bulletin over the past couple of years.
The short pieces on Recent Trends have been very informative. As I have gotten more involved in
my own work, I have had to narrow my range of reading. When the IMS split the Annals into two
journals I decided to get only The Annals of Statistics. This lost me my opportunity to look into
probability theory from time to time. So, I appreciated the paper by Thomas Liggett in this issue.
Your brief reviews of new publications have also been very informative. Past issues have con¬
tained vignettes about individual IMS members, which I have also appreciated. Keep up the good
work. You have at least one member who enjoys the new elements.

New Orleans, Louisiana: 15-20 February 1990
The Section on Statistics of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) is
sponsoring several symposia and technical sessions of interest to statisticians at the AAAS An¬
nual Meeting in New Orleans, Louisiana, 15-20 February 1990. The Institute of Mathematical
Statistics, the Biometric Society (ENAR/WNAR), and the American Statistical Association are
AAAS affiliates and are cosponsoring some of these sessions. Today’s headlines—global change,
fraud and misconduct in science, substance abuse, perestroika, AIDS, scientific literacy, computer
viruses—will be featured subjects.
The meeting will take place at the New Orleans Hilton Hotel and Rivergate Exhibition Center.
Among some 250 symposia will be those on oil contamination in Prudhoe Bay (Alaska); recent
developments in high temperature superconductors; progress in AIDS treatment; perestroika and
scientific freedom in the Soviet Union; effects of substance abuse on women; scientific and public c
perceptions of global change; the use of animals in biomedical research; verification of threshold
test-ban limits; assessing scientific literacy; chlorofluorocarbons and atmospheric chemistry;
ethics and politics in the cold fusion case; the law and misconduct in science; scientific competi¬
tion; emotions and the developing brain; and the threat of computer viruses.

BALTIMORE MEETING
Yol. 18, No.6
BALTIMORE, MARYLAND
Located approximately forty miles northeast of Washington, D.C., Baltimore is situated on the
shore of the Patapsco River at the upper end of Chesapeake Bay. The home of Johns Hopkins
University (established 1876), Baltimore is also renowned as the site of the bombardment of Fort
McHenry by British soldiers in September 1814—the event that inspired Francis Scott Key to
write The Star Spangled Banner.
Baltimore boasts a wealth of attractions to entertain its many visitors. The revitalized Inner
Harbor forms the core of the city, complete with shops and restaurants of Harborplace, the Na¬
tional Aquarium, its rain forest and 5000 species of aquatic life, as well as the Maryland Science
Center and the IMAX Theater.
Of historical interest is Museum Row, encompassing the City Life Museum, 1840 House, Flag
House and Shot Tower. Other cultural and historical sites include the Baltimore Museum of Art,
Carroll Mansion, and the Babe Ruth Museum. And in addition Baltimore also offers visitors a
host of splendid restaurants featuring the wonderful seafood indigenous to the Chesapeake Bay re¬
gion. [My favourite is Bo Brooks.—Ed.]
LOCATION
The Stouffer Harborplace Hotel is located at 202 East Pratt Street in the Gallery at Harborplace in
the heart of Baltimore’s Inner Harbor. It is easily accessible—only twenty minutes away—from
Baltimore-Washington International Airport (BWI), and from interstate highways and Amtrak.
On-site parking is available at the current daily rate of US$9.
REGISTRATION AND SOCIAL EVENTS
The advance registration fees are specified on the Advance Registration Form (page 520). The fee

Special Invited Papers will be presented by Geoffrey R. Grimmett (University of Bristol) and
by Bruce G. Lindsay (Pennsylvania State University, University Park).
Bozeman is located in southern Montana, 90 miles north of Yellowstone National Park in the
mountain-encircled Gallatin Valley known to the local Indians as the “Valley of Flowers”. Origi¬
nally, Bozeman and its environs were Indian hunting grounds, later developing into rich agricul¬
tural lands, and now supporting a city of approximately 30,000 inhabitants. Since the young city
was located directly in the path of the bonanza gold miners, anyone heading to the gold fields
would most likely pass through Bozeman. The Bozeman Pass, with an altitude of about 6000 feet,
is on the Bozeman Trail extending from Julesburg, Colorado, to Virginia City, Montana, as traced
by John M. Bozeman, wagon master and trail guide (1863-1865).
Gallatin Field (BZN), the Bozeman area airport, is located 8 miles north-west of town, and is
served by Continental (from Denver), Delta (from Phoenix and Salt Lake City), and Northwest
Airlines (from Minneapolis/St. Paul). For those travelling by car, Bozeman is at the intersection
of Interstate 90 and US 191.
The city and its surroundings offer a wealth of recreational opportunities, including hiking,
rafting, splendid sightseeing, and trout fishing in blue-ribbon streams. During the meeting, group
tours of various areas including Yellowstone National Park will be offered. Montana State Univer¬
sity (MSU) was founded in 1893 and now accommodates a student enrollment of 10,000. MSU re¬
searchers are active in a variety of disciplines, including such topics of particular local interest as
high-altitude environments and snow mechanics.
Montana State University will host the College National Finals Rodeo during the week
preceding the meetings; the championship performance will be held on 16 June 1990 at the MSU
Indoor Arena. The MSU Museum of the Rockies offers a world-class planetarium (Taylor Planetar¬
ium), one of only six facilities in the world with a computer graphics system that can simulate
flight through space. As well, visitors to the museum can learn about 4 billion years of Northern
Rockies’ history through exhibits that range from paleontology and Native American artifacts to
historic photography, antique clothing and vehicles. The museum is the professional home of the
paleontologist Jack Homer, and houses several important dinosaur finds, including the skull of
MORT (Museum of the Rockies Triceratops), an 80-million-year-old nest of dinosaur eggs, and a
cast of a baby dinosaur emerging from its egg [special thanks go to Ellen Samuels of West
Lafayette, Indiana, for our illustration.] More information about dinosaur biology and the social-
structure of dinosaur communities has been discovered by MSU Museum paleontologists working
at Montana sites than has been found anywhere else in the world.

Workshop on Spread of Epidemics: Stochastic Modelling and Data Analysis
A Workshop on “The Spread of Epidemics: Stochastic Modeling and Data Analysis” is being organized for
8-12 August 1990 near Uppsala, Sweden. The place and time of the workshop have been chosen so that
participants can easily fit this meeting in with the IMS/Bemoulli Society meeting scheduled for Uppsala the
following week (13-18 August 1990)—see The IMS Bulletin, Vol.18, No.3, pp. 324-327.
The topics of the workshop will be recent advances in stochastic modeling of epidemic spread, the relations
between stochastic and deterministic modeling approaches, and between modeling, data analysis, and reality.
Researchers representing any of these three fields, as well as interested postgraduate students, are encouraged
to express their interest in attending the workshop. The number of participants may, however, be limited to
40-50 persons. An application for financial support has been made and it is hoped that accommodation and
meals at least will be subsidized.
We would be grateful if a preliminary sign of interest reaches us before the end of November 1989. Further
details about the workshop will be sent to all interested persons in January 1990.

Electronic Mail for The IMS Bulletin
As of 31 October 1989 all electronic mail (e-mail) addresses on the MUSIC-A system at McGill
University changed from code@MCGILLA to code@MUSICA.MCGILL.CA. The McGill Univer¬
sity Computing Centre has indicated that this change, from the node-name to the domain-name
structure, will have little effect. All e-mail addressed to The IMS Bulletin at MT56@MCGILLA or
MT56@MUSICA.MCGILL.CA will still be delivered, but it is strongly recommended that our e-mail
correspondents use the address in the domain-name format, which is MT56@MUSICA.MCGILL.CA.
This change to domain-name structure has been made so that electronic network access would be
“network independent”. This means that a user on CSNET, CDNnet, or ARPAnet, for example, can
reach us at MT56@MUSICA.MCGILL.CA without having to know that we are part of the NetNorth/
B1TNET/EARN network complex. This should also mean that message travel time may be shorter as
the route selected depends on the originating network.

Earthquake News
HAYWARD, CALIFORNIA
The IMS Business Office—and staff—did not suffer any ill effects from the 17 October 1989
earthquake. Items did fall from shelves, telephone service was interrupted, and (upon the advice of
the authorities in the Bay Area) the office was closed on Wednesday, 18 October 1989. The office,
however, returned to normal operation the following day. We wish to thank those who have ex¬
pressed their concern regarding our well-being.
Jose Gonzalez
IMS Business Manager
MONTEREY, CALIFORNIA
All reports indicate that the Statistics community of Northern California came through the 17 Oc¬
tober 1989 earthquake (now raised to a 7.1 level) in good shape. While Stanford suffered major
damage to its campus, Sequoia Hall has now survived both the 1906 and the 1989 ’quakes. John
Rice can claim to have presented a truly earth-shattering talk at Berkeley, his seminar being
interrupted by the earthquake! In addition to well-publicized Bay area devastation, the amount of
damage done to the communities in Santa Cruz and Monterey counties is awesome. Those of us
who live in the area and who escaped relatively unharmed have much to be thankful for.

Morris Merman (DeQroot: 1931 -1989
Morris Herman DeGroot, University Professor of
Statistics and Industrial Administration at Car¬
negie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, died of lung
cancer on 2 November 1989. He was 58.
Bom on 8 June 1931 in Scranton, Pennsylvania,
DeGroot received his B.S. degree from Roosevelt
University, Chicago, in 1952 and his Ph.D. from
the University of Chicago in 1958. He had been a
faculty member at Carnegie Mellon University
since 1957, and was the founding Head of its De¬
partment of Statistics from 1966 to 1972.
DeGroot was the author, co-author, or co-editor
of seven books and over 100 papers. He was a
Fellow of the Institute of Mathematical Statistics,
the American Statistical Association, the Ameri¬
can Association for the Advancement of Science,
the Econometric Society, and an elected member of
the International Statistical Institute. DeGroot was
the founding Editor (1986-1988) of the IMS
journal Statistical Science.
From 1976 to 1978 Morris DeGroot was Theory and Methods Editor of the Journal of the American
Statistical Association, and at the time of his death he was the Chairman of the Committee on Applied and
Theoretical Statistics at the National Academy of Sciences’ National Research Council.
The author of the undergraduate text Probability and Statistics (Second Edition 1986, Addison-Wesley)
and the influential book onB ayesian statistics Optimal Statistical Decisions (McGraw-Hill, 1970), Morrie was
also the co-author (with Richard M. Cyert, President of Carnegie Mellon University) of Bayesian Analysis
and Uncertainty in Economic Theory (Rowman and Littlefield, 1987), and co-editor (with Stephen E. Fienberg
and Joseph B. Kadane) of Statistics and the Law (Wiley 1986).
Morrie was not only an outstanding statistician. He was above all an individual of great warmth and charm
who took special pleasure in helping students and young faculty develop their careers. Morrie also possessed
a very strong sense of integrity, justice, and professional responsibility; this was most evident when a younger
colleague, Wen-Chen Chen, was killed during a visit to his parents in Taiwan in 1981. Morrie became deeply
involved in the public outcry and traveled to Taiwan to review the criminal investigation. In fighter moments,
Morrie was a devoted fan of baseball and a lover of classical music, opera, and jazz.
Morrie was justifiably proud of his family. He is survived by his wife Marilyn; his daughter, Jenny, of
Chicago; his son, Jeremy, of Berkeley; a stepson, Craig Fischer, of Baltimore; a stepdaughter, Jill Sweeney,
of Scranton; his parents, Archibald and Florence DeGroot, of Scranton; and a sister, Phyllis Weinstein, of
Rochester, New York. His first wife Delores died in 1974 of multiple sclerosis. The family has asked that
contributions be made to support cancer research. The Department of Statistics at Carnegie Mellon has also
established a memorial fund.

These lecture notes result from the CBMS/NSF
Regional Conference held at the University of
Michigan in June 1987. Topics in invariance with
applications in statistics are discussed in nine
chapters—including integrals and the Haar
measure, group actions and relatively invariant
integrals, invariant statistical methods, models
invariant under compact groups, decomposable
measures, invariant decision problems, random
orthogonal matrices, finite deFinetti style
theorems, and finite deFinetti style theorems for
linear models.
The Institute of Mathematical Statistics and the American Statistical Association are proud to announce the publication
of this new Series. The volumes in this Series are based on the CBMS/NSF regional research conferences and join
SIAM’S CBMS Series in Applied Mathematics and AMS’s CBMS Series in Mathematics. Volume 1 will be available late
in 1989 with one volume expected per year thereafter.

IMS Executive Committee and Council Meetings: Minutes
Washington, DC : 5-9 August 1989
EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING: 5 AUGUST 1989
The meeting was called to order at 6:00 pm with President Ram Gnanadesikan presiding. The re¬
sults of the 1990 Council Election were announced. The Treasurer’s Report (see The IMS Bulletin,
Vol.18, No.5, September/October 1989, pp. 444-449) was read and discussed. The principle of
updating and reissuing the IMS Directory on a two-year schedule was upheld. The 1990 edition
will be postponed due to the expected publication of a 1990 COPSS Directory.
The Program Secretary announced that plans for Uppsala (13-18 August 1990) were moving
ahead. It was noted that the high registration fee includes a banquet, tours, coffee, etc. Whether
IMS will participate with ASA in 1993 was left open; bids may be forthcoming to host a stand¬
alone IMS meeting. Pending further clarification of the political situation, plans for the proposed
meeting in Kunming, China (1990), were left intact.
Editors’ reports showed no surprises. The Kolmogorov issue of The Annals of Probability will
be slightly delayed. CBMS lecturers will be invited to submit their lecture notes for publication in
the IMS/ASA CBMS Regional Conference Series in Probability and Statistics.
It was decided that our mailing list may be made available upon request for a fee and at the
discretion of the Business Office and Treasurer. The 1989 Fellows Committee’s concerns will be
transmitted to the 1990 committee. IMS cosponsorship of the “Interface” meetings was approved.
The meeting adjourned at 10:00 pm.
IMS COUNCIL MEETING: 6 AUGUST 1989
The meeting was called to order at 6:00 pm with President Ram Gnanadesikan presiding. The offi¬
cial results of the 1990 Council Elections were reported by the Executive Secretary. A motion to
expel delinquent members was introduced and passed. The President presented his report (see The
IMS Bulletin, Vol.18, No.5, September/October 1989, pp. 442-443).
The Treasurer’s report was presented and discussed. The dues and subscription rates proposed
by the Treasurer were formally accepted. It was decided to postpone publishing a new issue of the
IMS Directory until 1991 and to issue new directories on a biennial basis. The council approved a
resolution to appropriate $50,000 of IMS reserve funds as “The Annals of Applied Probability
start-up fund” to be expended in FY90 and FY91. The Council also agreed to establish cooperative
marketing arrangements with other statistical societies, expand the list of countries in which re¬
duced membership dues may be paid, and encourage two-year and grouped membership dues in such
countries and encourage gifts of individual memberships.
The Program Secretary reported on plans for the Uppsala Meeting (13-18 August 1990). The
Council approved the following meetings:
May/June 1991: Probability and Statistics in Industry
Philadelphia (Special Topic Meeting)
March 1992: Spring meeting with ENAR, Cincinnati, Ohio
June 1992: Summer meeting with WNAR - Location to be announced.
The Editors of IMS publications reported on another successful year. The Council passed a
vote of thanks for the splendid work done by Managing Editor Paul Shaman. The IMS Lecture
Notes!Monograph Series Editor announced the composition of the new Editorial Board (A. D. Bar¬
bour, J. A. Rice, W. E. Strawderman, R. J. Serfling). The Council approved page allocations for
FY90 as follows: The Annals of Statistics: 1750 pages; The Annals of Probability: 1650 pages;

The Committee to Select Editors recommended that George P. H. Styan be invited to serve an¬
other three-year term as Editor of The IMS Bulletin and that J. Michael Steele be invited to serve
a three-year term as founding Editor of The Annals of Applied Probability. The Council approved
both recommendations. The Current Index to Statistics Management Committee recommended that
E. E. Gbur be appointed as Editor of the Current Index to Statistics for a three-year term. Council
approved the recommendation. The Committee to Select Administrative Officers recommended that
R. L. Berger be appointed as Managing Editor (one of two positions) for a three-year term.
Council approved this recommendation. The selection of a second Managing Editor was deferred.
The Council approved the following lecturers for 1990:
Wald Lecturer: Sir David Cox.
Neyman Lecturer: Peter Whittle.
Special Invited Lecturers: Paul Deheuvels, Peter J. Donnelly, Paul A. L. Embrechts,
Peter Jagers, Niels Keiding, Wilfrid S. Kendall, and Bruce G. Lindsay.
The meeting adjourned at 10:00 pm.
IMS BUSINESS MEETING: 8 AUGUST 1989
The meeting was called to order at 6:00 pm by President Ram Gnanadesikan, with twenty-seven
members in attendance.
The results of the 1990 Council Elections were announced. The outgoing President made a
number of remarks and announced the 1990 Nominating Committee (see The IMS Bulletin, p.
443). Brief reports by officers and editors were presented and discussed.
A moment of silence for deceased members was observed. The outgoing President officially
ended his term of office by introducing the 1990 President, Shanti S. Gupta.
President Gupta spoke for a few moments and then adjourned the meeting at 7:00 pm.
1990 IMS COUNCIL MEETING: 9 AUGUST 1989
The meeting was called to order at 6:00 pm by President Shanti S. Gupta. Incoming council
members were introduced. A vote of thanks to outgoing council members was passed.
Representatives from NSF, ARO, AFOSR, and NSA were introduced; a lively discussion on Federal
Funding Activities and prognoses followed.
E. Wegman, Chair of the Committee to Select Administrative Officers, led a discussion on the
Managing Editor position. After lengthy debate the Council decided that the IMS journal and lec¬
ture-notes editors would meet with Paul Shaman, Prem Goel, Joseph M. Gani, the Treasurer, and
the Business Manager to formulate a policy on the Managing Editorship and would report to the
President as soon as possible.
Ram Gnanadesikan led a discussion on the setting up of an Elizabeth Scott Memorial activity.
An ad hoc committee comprising Jesica M. Utts, Marjorie G. Hahn, J. Michael Steele, and Nancy
M. Reed was formed and tasked with recommending an appropriate activity. The committee will
report to the President as soon as possible.
Bruce E. Trumbo reported on actions taken by the Current Index to Statistics (CIS) Manage¬
ment Committee including price changes, production of a linear models topics index, contract ne¬
gotiations with the American Mathematical Society, and a pilot project for the use of the CIS
databases in four major statistics departments. The council approved the new price structure rec¬
ommended by the CIS Management Committee. No action was taken on any of the other items.
Trumbo submitted a list of items for future council action.
The meeting adjourned at 10:30 pm.

International FAX Directory
FAX—or Facsimile—is fast becoming an essential form of communication between statisticians
around the world. A FAX machine allows one to send documents, including photographs and
drawings, over regular telephone lines to other FAX machines, which then reproduce (with vary¬
ing degrees of success) an “identical” copy of the original document. In the Bulletin Editorial
Office at McGill University, we send and receive information by FAX almost every day.
This International FAX Directory includes the various numbers, grouped by country, that we
have collected over the past several months. Our special thanks go to Jerzy K. Baksalary (Zielona
Góra), James O. Berger (Purdue), Gene H. Golub (Stanford), Harold V. Henderson (Waikato),
Tuulikki Mákeláinen (Helsinki), June Maxwell (Chapel Hill), Simo Puntanen (Tampere), and
Marco Scarsini (Roma) for their help. The country code, given in bold face, is followed by the
city routing or area code and the individual FAX machine number. In some countries the city
routing or area code must be prefixed by zero when dialling within the same country.
Unfortunately we do not always know the exact location within the institution of a particular
FAX machine, but we have tried to indicate where it might be found when we do not believe it to
be located within the institution’s central Telecom office. For example, we have listed the num¬
bers for six FAX machines at McGill University—the first number, 1-514-398-3594, identifies

Request for Proposals for the 1991 NSF-CBMS Regional
Research Conferences in the Mathematical Sciences
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
To stimulate interest and activity in mathematical research, the U.S. National Science Foundation
(NSF) each year supports 8-10 NSF-CBMS regional research conferences. A panel chosen by the
Conference Board of the Mathematical Sciences (CBMS) makes the selections from among the
submitted proposals. In the 21-year history of this Conference Series, a total of 207 such confer¬
ences have been supported. Each 5-day conference features a distinguished lecturer who delivers
ten lectures on a topic of important current research in one sharply focused area of the mathemati¬
cal sciences. [Harald Niederreiter will lecture on “Random Number Generation and quasi-Monte
Carlo Methods”, University of Alaska, Fairbanks, 13-17 August 1990.] The lecturer subsequently
prepares an expository monograph based upon these lectures, which is normally published as a
part of a regional conference series. Depending on the conference topic, the monograph is pub¬
lished by the American Mathematical Society (AMS) or the Society for Industrial and Applied
Mathematics (SIAM), or jointly by the Institute of Mathematical Statistics (IMS) and the Ameri¬
can Statistical Association (ASA). [See page 545 in this Bulletin for details of Volume 1 in the
Probability and Statistics Series: Group Invariance Applications in Statistics by Morris L. Eaton.]
Support is provided for about 30 participants at each conference and the conference organizer in¬
vites both established researchers and interested newcomers, including graduate students, to attend.
Distinguishing Features. The continuing success and strength of this conference series over
the last 21 years is due to certain distinguishing features which differentiate these conferences
from typical research conferences. These are:
1. Focus on a single important and timely area of research by a leading practitioner.
Each conference lecturer is a major contributor to the subject area of the conference and has a
broad perspective on that area. The lectures pull together die major ideas and recent results and
chart the possible future directions for the field. The purpose of this format is to ensure that the
participants, especially the new or recent entrants to the field, gain a deeper understanding of the
major outstanding problems and current directions of research in the field than they would get
from the typical conference format where many people present talks on their own results.

NSF-CBMS RESEARCH CONFERENCES
573
2. Continued effect and local stimulation through regional emphasis.
The purpose of the regional emphasis, with many of the participants drawn from areas geographi¬
cally proximate to the host institution is to provide a strong stimulus for increased local research
activity and to assure that the contacts made during the conference will continue. Participants in¬
clude not only established researchers but also newcomers to the field (for example, interested
faculty and graduate students from nearby institutions).
3. Panel review for quality, breadth, and timeliness.
Each year a panel of distinguished research mathematicians, appointed by NSF and CBMS and re¬
flecting the wide spectrum of research in the mathematical sciences, reviews all the proposals for
individual conferences. Thus all the proposals compete against each other, and the decisions on
which conferences to fund are made by leading representatives of the research community with a
broad perspective on current research activity. This helps to ensure that the topics chosen are ripe
for treatment in a conference of this type, that the principal lecturers are the most appropriate
persons to head such a conference, and that the series of conferences as a whole reflects and con¬
tributes to the broad range of national research activity in the mathematical sciences.
4. Published monograph for a wider audience.
The monograph based on the lectures presents, to a much wider audience than the conference alone
provides, a carefully prepared synthesis of and perspective on an active field of research by one of
its leading contributors.
Eligibility. Colleges or universities with at least some research competence in the field of the
proposal are eligible to apply and institutions that are interested in upgrading or improving their
research efforts are especially encouraged to apply.
REVIEW CRITERIA
Since individual proposals for conferences are evaluated on how well they satisfy the general aim
of the conference series, the criteria for evaluation are the following:
1. The significance of the chosen topic and the ripeness of the field for such a conference.
2. The competence of the proposed lecturer, both as a research leader in the field and as a
lecturer and expositor.
3. The extent to which the conference should be able to attract other researchers, mathe¬
maticians interested in entering the field, and graduate students, and thus be able to stimulate
additional research in the field.
4. The anticipated value of the resulting monograph to the larger mathematical community.
5. The value of the conference to its geographical region and the likelihood of continued
interaction among the participants at the conference.
6. The competence of the conference organizer (principal investigator at the host institu¬
tion) and the appropriateness of the site (host institution) as evidenced by the quality of the
proposal itself and the proposed local arrangements for housing, meals, etc.
PREPARATION OF PROPOSALS
Narrative. The narrative presents most of the information that determines whether a grant will
be awarded. Although no particular form is required, the description of the proposed conference
should cover the following points.
Subject. The proposed subject of the conference should be a topic of current research interest
and activity in one or more of the mathematical sciences. Here the mathematical sciences are un¬
derstood to include not only pure mathematics, but also applied mathematics, mathematical logic,
mathematical statistics, and operations research-management science. The proposal should con¬
tain an adequate description of the subject area and a bibliography of some of the important recent
work in the field so that the review panel can make an intelligent assessment of the significance
and timeliness of the proposed conference.
Principal Lecturer. Each conference is to have a principal guest lecturer from outside the host
institution. He or she should be both a leader in research in the proposed subject area of the con¬
ference and a good lecturer and expositor. The proposal should include an outline of the proposed
topics to be covered in the lectures, and a curriculum vitae and recent bibliography of the princi-

574
NSF-CBMS RESEARCH CONFERENCES
Vol.18, No.6
pal lecturer. The proposal must contain a written commitment from the principal lecturer stating
that, if the conference is funded, the lecturer will deliver ten lectures during the five days of the
conference and will submit to CBMS, within six months following the conference, a substantial
expository paper based on the lectures.
Participants. A conference proposal should include funds to provide for about 25 to 30 par¬
ticipants. Participants other than the principal lecturer are not normally named in advance in the
proposal. Rather it is expected that after a conference is funded, the host institution will publicize
the coming conference and invite applications from qualified participants. It is the host institu¬
tion’s responsibility to select the participants. These would normally be persons already working
at the research level in some area of the mathematical sciences whose research activities would
profit from the lectures and the other stimuli and interactions that the conference would provide.
Participants are provided with lodging and meals, and some travel support, by the host institu¬
tion’s grant, but do not receive stipends. A reasonable allowance for participants’ travel and sub¬
sistence should thus be the major budgetary item in the host institution’s proposal. While a few
additional lectures by especially well-qualified participants may enhance the conference’s value, it
is important that the conference provide ample time for informal discussions about the principal
lectures, and hence, contributed papers by participants are emphatically discouraged.
Local arrangements. The host institution is responsible for carrying out all local planning,
arrangements, advertising, and management of its conference. In addition to the items already dis¬
cussed this includes: arranging for appropriate lecture halls and informal meeting places, accom¬
modations and meals for the participants, headquarters for mail and information, secretarial ser¬
vices and duplicating facilities for schedules and announcements, reproduction of interim lecture
notes, and special equipment such as projectors.
Conference Dates. Conferences proposed for 1991 should normally be scheduled to occur
sometime after the end of classes in May 1991 and before the beginning of classes in September
1991, but may also be scheduled during December 1991 or January 1992 when most colleges and
universities are in recess.
Budget. The proposal should contain a reasonably detailed budget. Budgetary items and their
costs will vary considerably, depending on the location and character of the host institution, the
estimated average distance participants will travel, the availability of low cost lodging in dormi¬
tories, and similar factors. Some typical budget items that may be suitable are the following:
travel and lodging for the principal lecturer; travel and lodging for 25 to 30 participants; confer¬
ence organizer’s salary (about half-a-month); secretary’s or administrative assistant’s salary;
printing of advertising materials; telephone and postage; duplicating. It should be noted that
participant support costs are usually excluded from die direct costs when indirect costs are
computed. As in the case of all NSF award decisions, the total cost of the proposal is a
consideration in the evaluation and selection process. For informational purposes, typical awards
vary between US$19,000 and $25,000.
ASSEMBLY AND SUBMISSION OF PROPOSALS
Proposals should be assembled in the following order: cover sheet (NSF form 1207), information
about principal investigator (NSF form 1225), summary proposal budget (NSF form 1030), narra¬
tive letter of commitment from the principal lecturer, curricula vitae of principal investigator and
principal lecturer, appendices (if any). The cover sheet should list the conference organizer as
principal investigator and the host institution as the submitting organization. The title should be:
NSF/CBMS Regional Conference in the Mathematical Sciences - “proposed conference title” -
proposed conference dates. Twenty copies of the complete proposal should be sent to: Special
Projects Program, Room 339 Division of Mathematical Sciences, National Science Foundation
1800 G Street NW, Washington, DC 20550, USA, so that they arrive by Monday, 2 April 1990.
Principal investigators will be notified as soon as possible (usually mid summer) as to the status
of their proposals. Formal announcement of awards will be made by 2 October 1990.
Further Information. Inquiries concerning this conference series or the preparation of propos¬
als for conferences should be directed to the Conference Board of the Mathematical Sciences, 1529
Eighteenth Street NW, Washington, DC 20036, USA; (202) 293-1170.

Abstracts of Papers Presented by Title
89t-43. SIMULATION-CUM-REGRESSION APPROACH TO SMALL AREA ESTIMATION
B. D. TIKKIWAL, University of Rajasthan, Jaipur.
Recent work in the field of small area estimation is reported in depth in international conferences
[Small Area Statistics, Eds. R. Platek et al., Wiley, 1987; Bull. Inst. Internat. Statist. 1987]. This
new SRA-approach is explained below with a simple agricultural situation wherein only one vari¬
able for multi-stage population is of interest. For a fertilizer experiment in selected cultivators’
fields in selected villages of selected blocks in a zone of a district, we use the mixed effects
ANOVA model Yiki = p + + T¡ + (BT),*/ + vik + ziki with y¡k¡ denoting the /th treatment, the crop
yield of a plot in a cultivator’s field in the fcth village of the ith block in the zone. In a recent
study [Ph.D. Thesis of A. A. Khidhair (1988)] under the supervision of the author, it is noted that
this model can simulate yields at village area level onward and data so simulated at block level is
used for evolving best sampling strategy for such experiments. In another study in progress on
Crop Estimation Surveys, it is further noted that simulation, by itself, does not help to improve
the efficiency of yield estimates at the district level, unless we use auxiliary information along
with building up multi-stage-cum-multiphase regression estimators of the type considered in the
literature [Agarwal & Tikkiwal,Sankhya Ser.C 42(1980):31-44; Tikkiwal, J. Indian Statist. Assoc.
3(1965): 125-135]. [Received: 17 September 1989.]
89t-44. ICE FLOE IDENTIFICATION IN SATELLITE IMAGES USING MATHEMATICAL MORPHOLOGY AND
CLUSTERING ABOUT PRINCIPAL CURVES
Jeffrey D. BANFIELD, Montana State University, Bozeman,
and Adrian E. RAFTERY, University of Washington, Seattle.
Identification of ice floes and their outlines in satellite images is important for understanding
physical processes in the polar regions, for transportation in ice-covered seas and for the design
of offshore structures intended to survive in the presence of ice. At present this is done manually,
a long and tedious process which precludes full use of the great volume of relevant images now
available. We describe an automatic and accurate method for identifying ice floes and their out¬
lines. Floe outlines are modeled as closed principal curves [Hastie and Stuetzle, J. Amer. Statist.
Assoc., 84(1989):502-516], a flexible class of smooth non-parametric curves. We propose a ro¬
bust method of estimating closed principal curves which reduces both bias and variance. Initial
estimates of floe outlines come from the erosion-propagation (EP) algorithm, which combines
erosion from mathematical morphology with local propagation of information about floe edges.
The edge pixels from the EP algorithm are grouped into floe outlines using a new clustering algo¬
rithm. This extends existing clustering methods by allowing groups to be centered about principal
curves rather than points or lines. This may open the way to efficient feature extraction using
cluster analysis in images more generally. The method is implemented in an object-oriented pro¬
gramming environment for which it is well suited, and is quite computationally efficient.

89t-45. TIME INTEGRATED LEAST SQUARES ESTIMATORS OF REGRESSION PARAMETERS OF
INDEPENDENT STOCHASTIC PROCESSES
Tiee-Jian WU, University of Houston,
and M. T. WASAN, Queen s University, Kingston, Ontario.
Industrial processes may be continuously monitored by instruments under control of microproces¬
sors. Thus the data are usually obtained in the form of sets of (continuous) curves over certain
time intervals. This paper presents a method of estimating regression parameters in terms of the
sample paths from independent stochastic processes. Time-integrated least squares estimators of
the parameters are obtained which are unbiased, translation invariant, consistent, and asymptoti¬
cally jointly normal. Since technically it is difficult to compute these estimators, using analog-
to-digital conversion of continuous processes which are time sampled at regular intervals, optimal
approximations of the estimators are considered which are very easily computable and their
asymptotic properties are appended. [Received: 17 October 1989.]
89t-46. Ip NONUNIFORM BOUNDS FOR ASYMPTOTIC NORMALITY OF LINEAR RANK STATISTICS
Tiee-Jian WU, University of Houston.
An Lp, 1 < p < °o, nonuniform central limit order bound 0(N“1/2) for simple linear rank statistics is
obtained. The theorem is proved for a wide class of scores including those of van der Waerden and
Wilcoxon. It extends and improves some known results obtained in this direction. [Received: 17
October 1989.]
89t-47. ON BAYESIAN ROBUSTNESS OF CONTAMINATED CLASSES OF PRIORS
Alan E. GELFAND and Dipak K. DEY, University of Connecticut, Storrs.
We consider the problem of measuring Bayesian robustness of classes of contaminated priors.
Global measure using Kullback-Leibler divergence of posterior distributions and its curvature is
considered for the classes of e-contaminated priors. Calculation of ranges of the curvatures for
several classes of priors are given which include multidimensional problems and nonconjugate
cases. [Received: 31 October 1989.]
89t-48. SIMULTANEOUS ESTIMATION OF PARAMETERS FROM THE COMPOUND POWER SERIES DIS¬
TRIBUTIONS UNDER NORMALIZED SQUARED ERROR LOSS
Dipak K. DEY and Younshik CHUNG, University of Connecticut, Storrs.
Compound multivariate power series distribution is obtained by mixing p -independent power se¬
ries distributions by a mixing distribution. The scale parameters of the mixed distribution are then
estimated under normalized squared error losses. The improved estimators are obtained over the
unbiased estimators for p > 2, by solving certain difference inequality. Examples are given which
include compound Poisson and negative binomial distributions. Robustness of the Clevenson-
Zidek type and several other estimators are shown, when the p distributions are dependent through
the mixing process. [Received: 31 October 1989.]

CHANGES IN NSF PROPOSAL FORMAT
The National Science Foundation (NSF) is announcing two important changes in proposal format
to underscore: (a) The importance of education and human resources within research supported by
the NSF; and (b) The importance of quality of publications in the merit review process.
IMPORTANCE OF EDUCATION AND HUMAN RESOURCES
One established criterion in NSF’s merit review of proposals is the effect of the proposed research
on the infrastructure of science and engineering. Reviewers are asked to consider the potential of
the proposal to improve the quality, institutional distribution, or effectiveness of U.S. scientific
and engineering research, education, and work force. The NSF is particularly concerned about the
development of scientists and engineers for the future. To make this more explicit, Principal In¬
vestigators (Pis) will now be asked to specify the relationship of the project to the education and
development of human resources.
IMPORTANCE OF QUALITY OF PUBLICATIONS IN THE MERIT REVIEW PROCESS
Evaluation of scientific productivity must emphasize quality of published work rather than quan¬
tity. To ensure this emphasis, NSF will now limit the number of publications considered in re¬
viewing a grant application. Reflecting these emphases, the following changes will be effective
for proposals submitted on or after 1 October 1989.
PROPOSAL FORMAT CHANGES
(1) Education and Human Resources: A statement must be included specifying the potential of
the proposed research to contribute to the education and the development of human resources in
science and engineering at the postdoctoral, graduate, and undergraduate levels. This statement
may include, but is not limited to, the role of the research in student training, course preparation,
and seminars, particularly for undergraduates. Special effectiveness or achievement in the area of
producing professional scientists and engineers from groups presently underrepresented should be
described.
(2) Biographical Sketches, in addition to data on educational background and career, must now
include the following information:
(a) A list of up to five publications most relevant to the research proposed and up to
five other significant research publications. Patents, copyrights, or software systems de¬
veloped may be substituted for publications. These publications may overlap the con¬
tinuing requirement for a list of all publications resulting from and citing prior NSF sup¬
port. A complete list of publications for the past five years is no longer required. Only the
list of ten will be used in merit review.
(b) A list of the names of graduate students with whom the PI has had an association as
thesis advisor and postdoctoral scholars sponsored by the PI over the past five years, with
a summary of the total numbers of graduate students advised and postdoctoral scholars
sponsored.
(c) To avoid potential conflicts of interest in merit review, a list of scientists with
whom the investigator has had a long-term association and/or with whom he/she has
collaborated on a project or a book, article, report or paper within the last forty-eight
months; and the investigator’s own graduate and postdoctoral advisors. These changes will
be incorporated into the next revision of Grants for Research and Education in Science and
Engineering (GRESE).

1989 PIERRE ROBILLARD AWARD
The objective of the 1989 Pierre Robillard Award is to recognize the best Ph.D. thesis written in
a field covered by The Canadian Journal of Statistics and defended at a Canadian University in
1989. Submitted theses will be evaluated by a panel of judges appointed by the President of the
Statistical Society of Canada; their decision will be final. Judging will be on the basis of the
level of originality in the ideas and techniques, the possible applications and their treatment, and
the potential impact on the statistical sciences. The panel may arrive at the conclusion that more
than one or, alternatively, that none of the submitted theses merits the award.
The award consists of a certificate, a monetary prize, and a one-year membership in the Statis¬
tical Society of Canada. The winner will be invited to present a communication based on the the¬
sis at the 1990 Annual Meeting of the Society (St. John’s, Newfoundland, 3-6 June); assistance
with expenses to attend the meeting may be provided. The winner will also be invited to submit a
paper based on the thesis to The Canadian Journal of Statistics. If submitted within a year of re¬
ceipt of the award, the paper will be given special attention (rapid decision, rapid publication if
accepted, help from the editorial board, ...). If accepted, the paper will be identified when pub¬
lished as being based on the thesis that won the Pierre Robillard Award; the names of the univer¬
sity and the thesis supervisor will be clearly indicated. The thesis supervisor could be a coauthor
of the paper.
As Award Coordinator I must receive four copies of the thesis together with a covering letter
from the thesis supervisor indicating why it is suitable as an entry in the competition
(description of the problem, techniques and results, potential impact, ...) by 15 February 1990.
Official confirmation that the thesis has been defended in 1989 must also be provided.

ORIGIN OF “PIVOT ELEMENT”
I wonder if you can tell me who first used the term “pivot element”. Did Gauss ever use such a
term? Do you think of pivoting as a sort of exchange or do you think of it as a process by which
a new representation of the system is obtained? These are rather natural questions; I’ve looked all
over the place and have not found any discussion of them. Any clues or pointers would be very
welcome.

CENTER FOR STOCHASTIC AND CHAOTIC PROCESSES OPENS IN CLEVELAND
The Center for Stochastic and Chaotic Processes in Science and Technology was established last
summer at Case Western Reserve University. The Center’s goal is to organize, encourage and sup¬
port research on and education in probabilistic and nonlinear dynamical systems techniques as ap¬
plied in science and technology. A study of related foundational and theoretical mathematical is¬
sues is an integral part of the Center's research. The unique feature of the Center is a synergistic
interaction between viewpoints of mathematicians, physicists, chemists, biologists, computer
scientists, and engineers, working in the Center on equal footing. The following areas are empha¬
sized at this time: linear and nonlinear stochastic differential equations, stochastic methods in
molecular science and engineering, random structures and media, stochastic processes in condensed
matter physics, chaotic phenomena, strange attractors, and some related theoretical topics such as
large deviations and measure-valued diffusions. The Center has its own computer facility equipped
with SUN SPARCstations with a link to the Ohio Supercomputing Center. It is currently supported
by Case Western Reserve University, group grants from the U.S. National Science Foundation and
Office of Naval Research and other individual grants.

CENTER FOR COMMUNICATIONS RESEARCH
The Institute for Defense Analyses (IDA) and the National Security Agency (NSA) have announced
the establishment of a new Center for Communications Research at La Jolla, California, modeled
after the IDA Communications Research Division in Princeton. The new center will seek to foster
stronger technical interactions with the West Coast academic and industrial research community.
The Communications Research Division (CRD) will change its name to Center for
Communications Research-Princeton effective 1 January 1990. Both centers will be operated by
the Institute for Defense Analyses in support of the mission of NSA. The Princeton center was es¬
tablished in 1959. It conducts fundamental mathematical research in communications theory and
allied fields. Staff members and visitors have made numerous significant research contributions
which have been widely published in the mathematical literature. Among these are the solution of
the Bernstein conjecture (Simons) and the MacDonald conjecture (Mills, Robbins, Rumsey), as
well as portions of the Feit-Thompson work on simple groups and Volume 3 of Knuth’s Art of
Computer Programming. Two recent contributions were featured in Science—Elkies resolved the
famous Euler problem while visiting at IDA/CRD and the IDA/CRD CRAY supercomputer was used
to complete the Concordia College proof of the nonexistence of projective planes of order 10.
The Center for Communications Research-Princeton has a research staff of forty-four, the ma¬
jority of whom hold Ph.D’s in mathematics. The Center for Communications Research-La Jolla
will eventually grow to approximately twenty-five mathematical scientists. The center at Prince¬
ton has always been led by a mathematician, and the directors have included such eminent figures
as J. Barkley Rosser, A. Adrian Albert, and Gustav Hedlund. The current Director is David I.
Lieberman, and the Deputy Director is David M. Goldschmidt Melvin Sweet is the Acting Director
of the La Jolla Center. The Princeton unit has maintained close ties with the academic community,
and its annual summer workshops and one-year visiting staff memberships have attracted promi¬
nent personalities in the fields of computer science and mathematics.
The Institute for Defense Analyses’ establishment of the Center for Communications Re¬
search-La Jolla represents another facet of NSA’s efforts to stimulate mathematical research and to
increase its interaction with the mathematical and scientific communities. Vice Admiral William
Studeman, the Director of NSA, has repeatedly stressed his concerns about the health and vitality
of mathematics in the United States. He recently addressed a meeting of the American Mathemati¬
cal Society on this subject. Since assuming his duties, he has increased the Agency’s grants pro¬
gram in support of academic research and has urged Agency mathematicians to play a more active
role in the national efforts to improve mathematics education.

Recent Publications in Omithometrics
During the April 1989 EURING/MEG Conference on the Statistical Investigation of Avian
Population Dynamics using data from ringing recoveries and live recaptures of marked birds
(Sempach, Switzerland), it was decided to produce a list of recent publications about twice a year.
Initially the scope is likely to be statistical methods for capture/recovery and capture/recapture
data, possibly including papers that develop (or contain interesting applications of) methods that
analyze the types of data that are, to at least some extent, special to ornithology. Beside recovery
and recapture data, the types of data produced by nest record cards, moult schemes, the Common
Bird Census, radio-tracking, etc., require the development of custom-built statistical methods.
Anyone wishing to supply references (or reprints) of “omithometrical” papers that have appeared
in 1988-89, may send them to me. I will also be pleased to hear from anyone who was not at the
conference in Sempach but who would like to receive Recent Publications in Omithometrics.

MSI WORKSHOP ON STABLE PROCESSES SLATED FOR JANUARY
The Mathematical Sciences Institute (MSI) at Cornell University, is hosting a workshop on Stable
Processes and Related Topics, 9-13 January 1990. Organized by Gennady Samorodnitsky, the
workshop will focus on the mathematics of stable processes, a special type of random process
found among nature’s microscopic forces that is reflected in everything from the weather to stock
prices. Mathematical models of random processes are used as predictors. For example, changes in
the stock market appear erratic and seem to lack continuity. But a practical algorithm that models
the random processes behind it might reveal how the stock market will behave. Valuable as in¬
sight into stable processes may be, they have not received the same level of attention from the
scientific community as Gaussian processes, which are easier to describe and are supported by
more highly developed mathematics.
“There has not been a gathering of people who work in the area [of stable processes] for
many years,” says Samorodnitsky, “but there is enough interest today to warrant a meeting. It is a
good idea for mathematicians who work in the area and people who want to apply it in industry to
get together and discuss needs and direction in which the field should go.” Samorodnitsky expects
that as the field of stable processes develops, more people will use it. Samorodnitsky says
mathematicians need to develop statistical decision problems based on assumptions of stability as
well as the practical algorithms and software that are the tools to solve these problems. “The task
is to develop practical algorithms that apply to the theory,” says Samorodnitsky. Scientists are at
least five years from realizing that goal.

APPRECIATION OF INNOVATIONS
I have just finished reading The IMS Bulletin for July/August 1989 and I want to express my ap¬
preciation for some of the innovations I have seen in the Bulletin over the past couple of years.
The short pieces on Recent Trends have been very informative. As I have gotten more involved in
my own work, I have had to narrow my range of reading. When the IMS split the Annals into two
journals I decided to get only The Annals of Statistics. This lost me my opportunity to look into
probability theory from time to time. So, I appreciated the paper by Thomas Liggett in this issue.
Your brief reviews of new publications have also been very informative. Past issues have con¬
tained vignettes about individual IMS members, which I have also appreciated. Keep up the good
work. You have at least one member who enjoys the new elements.

Journals. The scientific journals of the Institute are The Annals of Statistics, The Annals of Probability, and Statistical
Science. The news organ of the Institute is The Institute of Mathematical Statistics Bulletin.
Individual, Institutional, and Corporate Memberships. All individual members receive The IMS Bulletin for a
basic annual dues rate of $30. All prices here are in US dollars. Each member must elect to receive at least one scientific
journal for an additional amount, as follows: Statistical Science ($5), one Annals ($15) or the two Annals ($25). Dues
allocations to each journal are set by Council resolution. Of the total dues paid, $12 is allocated to The IMS Bulletin
and the remaining amount is allocated equally among the scientific joumal(s) received. Memberships are available at a
reduced rate (40% of the regular rates) for full-time students, permanent residents of certain developing countries, and
retired members. Retired members may also elect to receive the Bulletin only for $12. Institutional Memberships are
available to nonprofit organizations at $270 per year and Corporate Memberships are available to other organizations
at $585 per year. Institutional and corporate memberships include two multiple-readership copies of all IMS journals in
addition to other benefits specified for each category (details available from the IMS Business Office).
Individual and General Subscriptions. Subscriptions are available on a calendar-year basis. Individual subscrip¬
tions are for the personal use of the subscriber and must be in the name of, paid directly by, and mailed to, an individual.
Individual subscriptions for 1989 are available to the two Annals and to Statistical Science ($96), one Annals and Sta¬
tistical Science ($60), the two Annals ($72), one Annals ($45), Statistical Science ($30), and The IMS Bulletin ($20).
General subscriptions are for libraries, institutions, and any multiple-readership use. General subscriptions to one or the
two Annals automatically include one subscription to Statistical Science. General subscriptions for 1989 are available
to the two Annals and to Statistical Science ($180), one Annals and Statistical Science ($105), Statistical Science only
($45), and The IMS Bulletin ($30). Air-mail rates for overseas delivery of general subscriptions are an additional $50
per title.
Correspondence. Mail to the IMS should be sent to the IMS Business Office (membership, subscriptions, claims,
copyright permissions, advertising, back issues), the Editor of the appropriate journal (submissions, editorial content),
or to the Managing Editor (production).

Group Invariance Applications in Statistics
Morris L. Eaton
CBMS Regional Conference Series in Probability and Statistics: Volume 1
List Price: $25, IMS Members: $15
These lecture notes result from the CBMS/NSF Regional Conference held at the University
of Michigan in June 1987. Topics in invariance with applications in statistics are discussed
in nine chapters—including integrals and the Haar measure, group actions and relatively
invariant integrals, invariant statistical methods, models invariant under compact groups,
decomposable measures, invariant decision problems, random orthogonal matrices, finite
deFinetti-style theorems, and finite deFinetti-style theorems for linear models.
