Those present today (in person or by phone) decided to switch our meetings for the spring semester to Tuesdays at 9:00 AM, beginning January 3, 2006. There will be NO MEETINGS BETWEEN NOW AND THE END OF THE YEAR. 2. Three problems were discussed as research issues for the spring: - Allowing analyses of masked data releases to depend on the nature of the masking, with consqeuent impact on utility and risk. - Positivity and other constraints on data. - Databases with weights, looking at all of SDL, risk and utility. Happy Holidays to all! --- Alan -- ****************************************************************** * Alan F.
