Announcement: Considering the COVID-19 situation, the S⁴ conference will be postponed to June 7-10, 2021

S⁴ is an interdisciplinary conference open to all researchers working with small samples: from researchers in the social, behavioral, and medical sciences who encounter small samples in their work, to statisticians and methodologists who develop and evaluate methods for small sample research. One of the conference goals is to encourage a dialogue between researchers who are struggling to answer their research questions because they have small samples and methodologists and statisticians who develop methods for small sample research.

The call for submitting talks has been closed, but we still accept poster presentations.

The roles of posters in this conference will be slightly different than usual. We invite participants who are attending the conference to find a solution to their small sample problem to present their research question in a poster, i.e., the title of the poster should contain the question they have for methodologists in the audience, and the content of the poster should consist of a clear explanation of their research questions and the issues they encountered in their statistical analysis due to the sample size being small.

Applications for presenting a poster will be reviewed and accepted on a rolling basis until the quota is reached (or until the first day of the conference).

Applicants who wish to present a poster should use the poster abstract template and send their application to S4-conference@uu.nl.
