2000 ANNUAL MEETING OF THE PSYCHOMETRIC SOCIETY

July 6-8, 2000

NOTE: The dates given in the December issue of Psychometrika were incorrect.

The 2000 Annual Meeting of the Psychometric Society will be held at University of British Columbia in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada from Thursday, July 6th through Saturday, July 8th. Registration forms and information about accommodations will be sent in the Fall mailing to all members of the Psychometric Society and others who request it. Persons wishing to present talks or to organize symposia should send titles and abstracts of no more than 200 words to the Program Chair:

Abstracts should preferably be sent via email, unless they contain mathematical symbols or formulas. Otherwise, please send a hard copy. Submissions must include name(s) of author(s), complete mailing address(es), fax number, and institutional affiliation(s) of the author(s). Persons organizing symposia are requested to start as soon as possible and to keep the Program Chair informed about the progress.

For papers with multiple authors, please indicate who will present the talk. Each person is permitted to present at most one contributed paper. This restriction does not prevent an invited speaker or a symposium speaker from also presenting one contributed paper, nor does it limit the number of papers on which one can be listed as a co-author. Please classify your talk into one of the following areas: (CTT) Classical test Theory; (IRT) Item Response The-ory; (FCS) Factor Analysis/Covariance Structure/Simultaneous Equation Modelling; (MDS) Multidimensional Scaling; (MDA) Multiway Data Analysis; (LCA) Loglinear/Categorical Data Analysis; (CCA) Classification/Cluster Analysis; (CHD) Correspondence Analysis/Homogeneity Analysis/Dual Scaling; (BSI) Bayesian Statistical Inference; (AAP) Ap-plications; (OTR) Others (please specify). The time for a contributed paper is 20 minutes for presentation and 5 minutes for discussion. Overhead projectors will be available; the use of handouts is encouraged.

Abstracts must reach the Program Chair by 1 March 2000.
