</H1>
<P>
The <a href="https://stat.iastate.edu/">Department of Statistics</a> at <a href="https://www.iastate.edu/">Iowa State University</a> will host a conference on predictive inference and its applications
on May 7 and 8, 2018, in Ames, Iowa.
</P>


<P>
The conference is made possible by a gift from David Harville that has established the<br>
<b><a href="CRHendersonFund.pdf">C. R. Henderson Fund for Excellence in Predictive Inference and Its Applications</a></b>.<br>Other sponsors include

Goals of the conference include raising awareness about the importance of predictive inference and its applications,
showcasing research of current and emerging leaders in the field,
and encouraging interactions and collaborations among a diverse collection of scientists with complementary skills and abilities.
The conference will also include a session in honor of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Roy_Henderson">Charles Roy Henderson</a>, who
was an Iowa State graduate, member of the United States
National Academy of Sciences, and a pioneering developer of prediction methodology used in animal breeding and a wide range
of other application areas.
</P>

<P>
In addition to talks by many distinguished <a href="speakers.html">speakers</a>, the conference will include a poster session on the afternoon of May 7.
New researchers (graduate students, postdoctoral researchers, and recent PhDs) are especially encouraged to
<a href="abstractSubmission.html">submit abstracts</a> and to <a href="abstractSubmission.html">apply</a> for up to $500 of travel support
provided by a conference grant from the <a href="https://www.nsf.gov/">National Science Foundation</a>.
