54th Session 2003International Statistical InstituteInstitut International de StatistiqueInternationales Statistisches Institut

Welcome to Berlin, Germany The 54th ISI Session is embedded in a special historical context. The first International Statistical Congress (ISC), which is considered the precursor to ISI Sessions, took place in Brussels as early as 150 years ago. 118 years ago, in 1885, the International Statistical Institute was founded, and it became aparent that one of this organiation’s most important tasks is to organise statistical congresses, which normally take place every two years, in different locations all over the world. Exactly 100 years ago, the 9th ISI Session was held in Berlin for the very first time. Therefore, historical aspects of statistics will be one of the focal themes of this ISI Session. Apart from this, the Scientific Programme of the Session will reflect the entire range of subjects represented by the Sections – Bernoulli Society, IAOS, IASE, IASC, and IASS – as well as those subjects which are not represented by the Sections, in addition to several topics organised by invited ‘guest societies’. This broad range of topics will be united under the umbrella of the International Statistical Institute. The overall aim of all ISI Sessions, viz., the development and the improvement of statistical methods and their world-wide application, will feature prominently in the papers of both the Invited Paper Programme and the Contributed Paper Programme of the 54th ISI Session. Bearing in mind the further intent of ISI Sessions to provide a forum for the exchange of ideas and experiences among experts from all areas of statistics, and from all over the world, in order to create the conditions for global co-operation, the organisers of the 54th ISI Session have provided numerous opportunities for participants to come together both in the scientific meetings and at other events, such as the extensive exhibition which will take place in conjunction with the Session. In addition, papers dealing with topics such as "Statistics in international banking", "Problems of global population development", and "Modern techniques in government" will be of interest not only for statisticians but also to the general public. Finally, the Social Programme of the Session, taking place in specially selected beautiful settings and enabling participants to come face to face with monuments of the host country's history and culture, is organised with a view to creating an atmosphere which will both stimulate work in the Scientific Programme and provide participants with lasting memories of a special experience. Hans Günther Merk Chairman of the National Organising Committee

3. Scientific Programme The Scientific Programme of the 54th Session of the International Statistical Institute consists of Invited Paper Meetings and Contributed Paper Meetings. In addition to these Invited and Contributed Paper Meetings, a tutorial on Bioinformatics and a tutorial on Statistical analysis from complex survey data with application to the social, biological and health sciences will also be held on one evening as a special event. 3.1. Media Check and Speakers’ Lounge Opposite the ICC’s main entrance, a room has been made available where the speakers can prepare their presentations and check the media they intend to use (Speakers’ Lounge).

Speakers are requested to hand in their electronic presentation materials (on CD-ROM or diskette) at the Media Check in the Speakers’ Lounge at least one day before their meeting.

The technical support staff will store electronic presentations on the Session Server, so that it can be accessed from the PC in the meeting room via the ICC's local network.

At the Speakers’ Lounge, PCs and printers are available. These PCs have the operating system MS Windows XP and are equipped with MS Office XP, Corel WordPerfect Office 2002, Adobe Acrobat Reader and MS Internet Explorer.

Furthermore, speakers have the opportunity to use their personal laptop. They can connect it to the locally provided beamer in order to check their presentations, and also use internet via an Ethernet RJ45 connection.

Participants will also be provided with a personal storage space and a web-based E-mail account (for further information see page 140 Local Information and services).

Technical support staff is in place to help speakers change or complete their presentations. 3.2. Presentations So that papers can be viewed, an overhead projector, a beamer and a networked PC are provided in each of the meeting rooms. Any participants wishing to use a computer for their presentations can work on their files at the ICC using the PCs provided in the Speakers' Lounge (printers are also available). These PCs have the operating system MS Windows XP and are equipped with MS Office XP, Corel WordPerfect Office 2002, Adobe Acrobat Reader and MS Internet Explorer.

It should be noted that the only formats of presentation that can be accepted are Powerpoint, Word, Excel, WordPerfect, Corel Presentations and PDF, and that users of PDF will not be able to make any changes to their files, as the PDF software available at the ICC will be of a read-only type.

4. Tutorials The topics of the tutorials offered at the 54th ISI Session are listed below. For further information, see the special announcements on the Session website, http://www.isi-2003.de. Bioinformatics organised by: Françoise Seillier Moiseiwitsch

([email protected]) presented by: Françoise Seillier Moiseiwitsch Date: Monday, 18 August 2003, starting at 17:30 h Venue: ICC Berlin, Hall 7 Statistical analysis from complex survey data with application to the social, biological and health sciences organised by: Danny Pfeffermann ([email protected]) presented by: Danny Pfeffermann and Wayne A. Fuller Date: Monday, 18 August 2003, starting at 17:30 h Venue: ICC Berlin, Hall 6

135

5. Special Sessions 5.1. BundOnline 2005 and e-statistics – the e-Government initiative of the Federal Government and its implementation at the Federal Statistical Office Date: Thursday, August 14th, 2003, 11:45 – 12:35 h Venue: ICC Berlin, Hall 7 The Federal Government's aim in launching its "BundOnline 2005" programme is to go online with all services of the Federal Administration which are suitable for the Internet by the year 2005. The use of Internet technology is to reduce bureaucratic obstacles, to improve communication both inside the Federal Administration and with the Länder and the municipalities, and considerably to widen the range of services offered to citizens and the economy. Thus, the initiative makes an important contribution to the modernisation of the administration and to the strengthening of Germany as a location of industry and commerce. In order to be able to jointly use modern e-technology in official statistics, the Federal Statistical Office and the statistical offices of the Länder have launched their own initiative, "e-statistics 2005", with a view to realising purely electronic production processes requiring no change of media by the year 2005. At the statistical offices, the eGovernment project integrates all phases of statistical production: data collection from the informants, data processing and determination of results in the statistical offices as well as the publication of the results and their provision on the Internet, where they are available to clients. 5.2. Tools for a Wide Range of Challenges: 25 Years of Experience in Statistical Analytical Software / SAS

Examples presented by the Federal Statistical Office Germany and SAS

Date: Friday, August 15th, 2003, 11:30 – 12:40 h Venue: ICC Berlin, Hall 7 The contribution will present some aspects of the history and the development of SAS Institute from an institute for statistics to one of the leading vendors of business intelligence software. Special emphasis will be placed on the reference applications with analytical background, i.e. multivariate statistics, forecasting, quality control, operations research, data mining, and last but not least, text mining. Besides that, the Federal Statistical Office of Germany will show why it decided to use SAS and the Enterprise Guide as a strategic tool for enduser-oriented data-processing, and give some examples from the fields of calculating production indices or modelling the growth of population.

136

5.3. Official statistics for a global economy by Eugenio Domingo Solans, Member of the Governing Council and of the Executive Board of the European Central Bank

Date: Wednesday, August 20th, 2003, 11:15 – 12:15 h Venue: ICC Berlin, Hall 7 Modern-day economies can only function efficiently if the public at large and policy makers are well informed about economic and social developments. Official statistics are by far the most important and reliable source of information. Their production requires a good balance between timeliness and accuracy; between the costs for respondents and the benefits for citizens; and between the relevance for a national economy and international comparability. The development of official statistics in recent years has been a silent revolution, particularly in the European Union.

137

6. Official and Social Programme ISI Sessions have always been accompanied by official and social events and this is also the case in Berlin. The Social Programme is especially designed to provide participants with an opportunity to relax with quality entertainment and to maximize their networking opportunities. Interested participants were requested to register in advance for all events or tours of their choice.

7.5. Local Information Transportation Lufthansa – The Official Carrier Lufthansa has been appointed the official carrier of the Session. The Lufthansa network links Berlin with the world via the Frankfurt and Munich hubs and offers direct access to the global Star Alliance network. Telephone.: +49 (0)180-LUFTHANSA (+49 (0)180-5 8384267) Public Transportation Berlin has an efficient network of suburban trains and buses throughout the city, plus a tram system in the east. Participants are entitled to use all means of public transport for free from 13th to 20th August. Their Session name badges will serve as tickets on all trains and buses in Berlin and Potsdam. For more information on public transportation in Berlin, participants can visit the website http://www.bvg.de/e_index.html. Public transport to the ICC The ICC is served by various public transport routes. The S-Bahn (train) and U-Bahn (underground) stops nearest to the ICC are "Messe Nord/ICC" (formerly "Witzleben") and "Kaiserdamm". A number of bus lines also stop near the ICC. For an overview of Berlin's train and underground networks see the leaflet enclosed in the congress bag. An area map of the ICC is published on the website of the Session, http://www.isi-2003.de. Routes (including bus routes) can also be planned individually on the website http://www.fahrinfo-berlin.de (available in German and English). Taxis In Berlin taxis are easiest to find at special taxi ranks. However, it is also possible to hail a taxi in the street. Passengers have to pay a basic fare of 2.50 EUR plus an additional 1.53 EUR per kilometre. For example, a taxi ride from Tegel airport to the city centre west ("Zoologischer Garten" station) costs about 15 EUR. Some taxis accept credit cards. Parking at the ICC There are parking facilities in the rear part of the ICC Berlin. The costs per day are 7.50 EUR. There is additional parking space in front of the Palais am Funkturm, which is usually free of charge. Emergency Phone Numbers The following toll-free phone numbers are valid throughout Germany (no area code required) in case of emergency: 110: Police 112: Fire and medical Medical care The addresses and telephone numbers of hospitals, health and dental clinics are available at the Central Information Desk.

144

Language Germany’s official language is German, but many different regional dialects which one may find hard to follow can be heard. English is spoken in most hotels, restaurants, airports, railway stations, etc. Clothing There is no dress code for the Session. The Opening Ceremony, as well as the Reception of the Federal Government and the Farewell Party are more festive events, but no formal dress is required. Generally, the organisers recommend smart casual clothing. It is also suggested to bring along a jacket for chilly evenings and a raincoat. The organisers also recommend to wear comfortable shoes for tours and excursions. Currency and Exchange Rate Germany is a Euro zone participant. The Euro exchange rate is subject to daily fluctuations and is trading at US$ 1.13 per 1 EUR (as of 9th July, 2003). Time Germany is on Central European Time, which is two hours ahead of GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) in summer. Germans use the 24 hour clock system (e.g. 2 PM is indicated as 14:00 h) and write the date before the month, so August 09th will appear as 09.08. Electricity In Germany, the standard electrical current is 230 volts, 50 cycles alternating current (AC); sockets take Euro-type plugs, with two round pins. However, outlets for both 115 and 230 volts are available at some hotels. Participants should check the power supply before using any electrical appliance. Tax A value-added tax (VAT) is levied on most goods and services at a standard rate of 16% and is included in the retail price. A refund of the VAT paid for all goods exported from the EU is possible for all non-EU citizens. In participating stores customers should ask for the "Tax free cheque". Tipping Service charges are included in all bills at hotels and restaurants. Nonetheless, it is customary to tip staff at hotels and restaurants (e.g. to round up the restaurant bill by about 5-10%, and leave a small sum at the hotel for the room-cleaning staff) as well as porters (about 1 Euro per bag) and taxi drivers (round up the fare a Euro or two). German Food Germany is a country famous for its many native dishes. As a rule, German cuisine is good value and of high quality. Although German food tends to be rich, it is accompanied by fresh vegetables and salads to compensate. Most menus are for carnivores, so vegetarians will find the cuisine less than ideal. However, it is getting easier to find vegetarian dishes. There is also a wide variety of ethnic dishes, with a heavy southern European bias.

145

Shopping Most big stores normally open their doors around 09:00 h; newsagents and bakeries as early as 06:00 h; smaller or independent shops tend to open around 10:00 h or later. Shops can be open until 20:00 h from Monday to Saturday. Retailers in central areas tend to keep these hours, whereas many shops in residential areas close as early as 18:00 h or 18:30 h. Shops at major train stations and some small kiosks are often open until 22:00 h and on Sundays. Service shops at some petrol stations are open round the clock seven days a week.
