1st Tuesday Journal-Paper Club: November 2014 meeting

---

This month's choice is extremely topical, of interest to those in biomedical and statistical signal processing:

p(. Christian L. Althaus, "Estimating the reproduction number of Ebola virus (EBOV) during the 2014 outbreak in West Africa", ??PLOS Currents Outbreaks??, Sep. 2, Edition 1, 2014. "doi:10.1371/currents.outbreaks.91afb5e0f279e7f29e7056095255b288":http://dx.doi.org/10.1371/currents.outbreaks.91afb5e0f279e7f29e7056095255b288

Our reader leader this month is Kristian Weegink. The venue will again be the Brisbane Brewhouse (see address details & map below).

*Special membership offer!* If you bring along a new recruit to the "Signal Processing Society":http://www.signalprocessingsociety.org (SPS), we'll shout you both to dinner. Specifically, our Chapter will pay for a main from the Brewhouse's Tuesday two-for-one menu for each of you, so long as you both register by 4pm, Monday, 3rd November (see the registration link at the bottom of this page). To be eligible, the new recruit must have first "joined SPS":http://www.signalprocessingsociety.org/membership/join-sps during 2014.

*About the 1st Tuesday Journal-Paper Club:* the idea is to meet regularly, usually on the 1st Tuesday of the month as the name suggests (inspired by the ABC TV series "1st Tuesday Book Club"). Each month, the participants would agree on a highly cited, 'top ten' or major-prize-winning article in an SPS or ComSoc journal (but not one of our own!). We would also select a Discussion Leader. Through the month, each of the participants would read the article. At the next meeting, the Discussion Leader would lead a discussion of that article, starting with his/her own appraisal. In this way, it is hoped that we could all broaden our understanding of the field and further develop a sense of community.

1st rule of 1st Tuesday Journal-Paper Club: tell everyone about 1st Tuesday Journal-Paper Club.
