... The purpose of the workshop is to discuss the appropriateness of these models and possible improvements or alternative approaches. Issues for discussion at the workshop include the appropriateness of the modeling techniques developed by NASS, the extent to which the modelʼs assumptions can be validated, the robustness of the estimates to a failure of one or more assumptions, and other technical issues of model specification.
