Do you have software (R package, SAS macro, C code, or Python script, etc.) related to establishment statistics? Sign up to do a demonstration at ICES VI. These are like poster presentations for software. Demonstrators will be provided with a projector and screen, tables, and chairs. They will provide their own computers, demonstration software, and test data and will be able to arrange for internet connections.
We invite you to submit your proposal today to ices@amstat.org! Proposal forms are located at https://ww2.amstat.org/meetings/ices/2020/pdfs/ICES2020-SoftwareDemoProposal.pdf . Proposals are due by December 12, 2019 and must include a description of the software package and potential applications.
ICES VI is designed to look forward to key issues and methods pertaining to establishment statistics.. Demonstrations should target live processing of data with possible customization for the interest of specific audiences, rather than inflexible slide shows or presentations. Proposed software packages should already be in use on data from one or more establishment surveys. Appropriate uses might include the following:
- Producing statistics
- Creating and updating registers
- Questionnaire development
- Selection of samples and sample weighting
- Data collection methodology
- Automated data coding and variable transformations
- Calibration to administrative data or other benchmarks
- Data linkage, matching
- Modeling using survey data
- Use of big data with surveys
- Descriptive and complex statistical analyses
- Machine learning
- Survey management
- Measuring and mitigating nonresponse bias
- Estimation and variance estimation (e.g., small area) for standard and complex survey designs
- Advances in disclosure protection
- Making inference from survey data
- Visualizing data
