9400023 Sall The Interface Conference was designed to bring together professionals from different fields that share a need for better statistical computing methods. Originally focused on the interface with numerical analysis and computer science, in more recent years it has been involved with a broad range of scientific and technical areas, particularly hot areas such as biotechnology and quality engineering. Computing is currently a very active area in the statistics profession as desktop computing power has made a huge advance in the last 5 years. For example, Bayesian statistics used to be mostly theory and little practice, because it was saddled with difficult numerical integration issues. Today, the emergence of Monte Carlo methods coupled with fast machines has made the techniques suddenly practical. Researchers are asking for the distribution of estimates, rather than just approximate standard errors, and a number of resampling-based methods have emerged to provide those answers. Exact significance levels are replacing approximate ones. Smooth curves are replacing straight line fits. Statistical graphics is helping researchers make discoveries. The Interface Conference will have the specialized sessions on the state-of-the-art, and also a number of tutorial sessions and short courses to help bring the new technology to a general technical audience. The Interface conference is the one annual conference dedicated to statistical computing issues. Statistical computing has emerged as a particularly important field in the last few years because the arrival of cheap and fast desktop computers has opened up a lot of new opportunities that were only dreamed of a few years ago. A generation ago, the best statisticians could do with limited computing resources was to get a statistic if the data was organized a certain way, and look that statistic up in a table. Then computing and numerical techniques improved enough to handle more general models and get significance levels. Now we have progressed to where we can analyze very general models that require fewer assumptions, have a more flexible functional form, provide details on the distribution of the estimates in the model, use interactive exploratory techniques to make new discoveries, and present the results with graphical visualization techniques. With further refinements in statistical computing tools, the statistical community has a chance to really serve the scientific and technical world much better at a time when the Quality Movement, the Biotechnology Revolution, and the Environmental mandate has made statistics and experimentation more critically important. The Interface conference provides the forum for presentation and discussion of the latest breakthroughs in statisical computing.

9400023 SALL界面会议旨在将来自不同领域的专业人员汇集在一起​​，这些专业人员需要更好的统计计算方法。最初，它专注于数值分析和计算机科学的界面，在近年来，它参与了广泛的科学和技术领域，尤其是诸如生物技术和质量工程等热门领域。目前，计算是统计专业中非常活跃的领域，因为台式计算能力在过去5年中取得了巨大进步。例如，贝叶斯统计学过去主要是理论，几乎没有实践，因为它充满了困难的数值整合问题。如今，蒙特卡洛方法和快速机器的出现使这些技术突然实用。研究人员要求进行估计分布，而不仅仅是近似标准错误，并且已经出现了许多基于重新采样的方法来提供这些答案。确切的显着性水平正在替代大约含量。光滑的曲线正在替换直线拟合。统计图形有助于研究人员进行发现。界面会议将在最先进的情况下进行专门的会议，并举办许多教程和简短课程，以帮助将新技术带给一般技术受众。接口会议是致力于统计计算问题的一次年度会议。在过去的几年中，统计计算已经成为一个特别重要的领域，因为廉价和快速桌面计算机的到来打开了许多新的机会，这些机会仅在几年前才梦到。一代人以前，最好的统计学家可以用有限的计算资源来做到，如果以某种方式组织了数据，并在表中查看该统计数据。然后，计算和数值技术得到了足够的改进，可以处理更多的通用模型并获得显着性水平。现在，我们已经发展到可以分析需要更少假设，具有更灵活的功能形式的非常通用的模型，提供有关估计值分布的详细信息，使用交互式探索技术来制作新发现，并通过图形可视化技术呈现结果。通过在统计计算工具方面进行进一步的改进，统计社区有机会在质量运动，生物技术革命以及环境任务的时候真正为科学和技术世界提供更好的服务，使统计和实验更加至关重要。界面会议为陈述和讨论统计计算中的最新突破提供了论坛。
