Subject: Workshop on Total Survey Error

Dear SRMSNET members,

Recently, the National Institute of Statistical Sciences (NISS) and the
Statistical and Applied Mathematical Sciences Institute organized a
workshop dedicated to total survey error.  The workshop, which was
limited to 80 participants including invited speakers and discussants,
was held at the Bureau of Labor Statistics on March 17 and 18.

Many ideas for research were generated at the workshop.  These can be
found in the speakers' presentations listed on the workshop web page,

http://www.niss.org/affiliates/totalsurveyerrorworkshop200503/main.html

There will be a session at JSM 2005 (session number 200017) with
presentations from several of the invited speakers.

We invite you all to review the presentations and attend the session at
JSM, with the hope that they serve as catalysts for more research in
total survey error.

Sincerely,
Paul Biemer and Jerry Reiter
Co-organizers of the workshop
