I was invited to give a talk at the 2014 International Indian Statistical Association (IISA) Conference this summer.  I was a part of a very interesting session on “Spatial and Regression Models in Environmental Science” with Rajib Paul from Western Michigan University and Ephraim Hanks from Penn State.  My talk was “On covariate importance for regression models with multivariate response” and the slides are posted below.  This was a very good conference that spanned an impressive range of topics in Statistics.
