Survey Methods for Statistical Data Integration and New Data Sources


ITACOSM is a bi-annual international conference organized by the Survey Sampling Group (S2G) of the Italian Statistical Society (SIS) whose aim is promoting the scientific discussion on the developments of theory and application of survey sampling methodologies in the fields of economics, social and demographic sciences, of official statistics and in the studies on biological and environmental phenomena.

Survey researchers and practitioners have always combined data from various data sources (auxiliary data from Censuses, Administrative registers, GIS data) to enhance sampling designs and estimation. Statistical data integration represents the new frontier of combining information from representative samples with data from multiple sources some of which may have uncontrolled selection mechanisms (non-probability samples, big data, smartphone data, integrated register data). ITACOSM2022 will provide a showcase for methods and applications that combine sources of data for better sampling strategies using classical survey methods or new data science tools such as Machine Learning methods.

 

ITACOSM2022 will include plenary (keynote) sessions on very relevant themes, specialized (invited) sessions on specific topics, and contributed sessions.

The Conference will be preceded by a one-day SHORT COURSE on "Survey Data Integration" held by Prof. Jae-Kwang Kim (Iowa State University) on June 7 in Assisi, Palazzo Bernabei.

Abstract submission is now closed. The conference program is available here (updated on May 25th).

Cancellation of SIS 2020 and postponement to 2021 of the 50th Scientific Meeting of the Italian Statistical Society
Due to the on-going Covid-19 pandemic, the Executive Board of the Italian Statistical Society and the Local Organizing Committee had to deliberate that it will not be possible to hold the Meeting of the Italian Statistical Society in June 2020, as expected. Given the extreme uncertainty of the outcomes of the pandemic in the immediate future we are unable to postpone the Meeting, but, with much regret, we are forced to cancel SIS 2020. To mitigate the impact of the cancellation of SIS 2020 on those who have already made their work for the conference, we have decided to publish the volume "Book of short papers - SIS 2020" (online with ISBN in the Pearson web-site) anyway. The volume will be published in September. For this reason, deadlines for the review of the papers have been changed: Referee report to the authors: from the 3rd of April to the 15th of May Sending final version of the paper from the authors: from the 17th of April to the 29th of May. Notice that at least one of the authors of an accepted contributed paper has to pay the 2020 SIS membership fees by July 10th to have it included in the "Book of short papers - SIS 2020". This does not hold for the authors of invited papers. The series Springer Proceedings in Mathematics & Statistics (ProMS) with the extended version of the selected short papers will be not published.     Â

Comunicheremo al più presto aggiornamenti tramite il sito web del convegno e i canali social della SIS.   Â

Deadline of April 3 is postponed
Due to the on-going Covid-19 pandemic, the 50-th Meeting of the Italian Statistical Society can not be held in June 2020. Therefore the deadline of April 3 is postponed to a date to be assigned based on the resolutions that the Society's Executive Board will take at its meeting on April 3.   A causa del perdurare della pandemia di Covid-19 la 50-esima Riunione Scientifica della Società Italiana di Statistica non potrà essere tenuta nel mese di giugno 2020. Pertanto la scadenza del 3 aprile è stata rinviata a data da destinarsi in base alle deliberazioni che prenderà il Consiglio Direttivo della Società nella riunione del prossimo 3 aprile.   Â
