CONFERENCES: Added Speaker for Measurement Conference in Atlanta

An additional distinguished speaker, Dr. Donald Rubin of Harvard University, has been added to the program of the conference

New Directions in Psychological Measurement with Model-Based Approaches

Dr. Rubin's presentation is "Using EM and MCMC Algorithms to Study Responses in Experiments with Schizophrenic and Normal Patients".

The conference, which will be held at the Georgia Institute of Technology on February 17-18, 2006 in Atlanta, Georgia, now features 11 internationally known scholars who will present their developments in model-based measurement. These developments have potential application to a wide array of current psychological constructs. Furthermore, some developments may be applicable to types of psychological phenomena that have not been previously amenable to rigorous measurement methods.

We invite you to attend the conference. The following website provides information about the speakers and registration procedures:
