This edition's theme is 'Mixed Models and Modern Multivariate Methods in Linguistics'. This international Leuven-based meeting warmly welcomes everyone interested in the methodological and applied themes. Through excellent invited speakers, a number of fine contributions, and a panel discussion, the meeting organizers aim to reach their twofold goal: (1) provide an exchange forum for statistical methods in linguistics and (2) stimulate cross-fertilization, centered around the methodological themes, between researchers in linguistics, bioinformatics, computer science, data mining, engineering, bio-engineering, imaging, and medical statistics, to name but a few. Call for Papers: We invite you to submit abstracts for oral and poster presentations. Authors of abstracts selected for oral presentation will have the opportunity to give a talk of about 20 minutes. In addition, we plan to organize a poster session to encourage PhD and postdoctoral researchers to present their ongoing work to statisticians from other disciplines. The total length of the abstract should not exceed one A4 sheet and the abstract should consist of the following parts: Title (in Times New Roman 16) Authors (the presenter should be underlined) (in Times New Roman 12) Affiliation of the authors (in Times New Roman 12) Abstract (maximum 300 words) (in Times New Roman 12) References (in Times New Roman 12) The abstract should preferably be submitted in Word and .pdf format. In case LaTeX is used, the LaTeX source code should also be provided. To submit, please send your abstract to infolstat.kuleuven.be. Abstracts should be sent no later than February 29, 2012. We hope to welcome you at the Leuven Statistical Days 2012! Scientific and Organizing Committee: Dirk Speelman (chairman), Geert Molenberghs (LStat organizing chair), An Carbonez, Lilian Wassink, Dirk Geeraerts, Kris Heylen.
