Abstract:
|
"Statistics: Harnessing the Power of Information" is the 2007 conference theme which highlights the power of statistics to inform and guide us through our world. Harnessing that power is equally important for our own strategic planning as an organization and a profession. We need data about ourselves when we make decisions about our future directions. We will use this opportunity to examine some evolving facets of our discipline and its practitioners. Topics will include the current demographics and characteristics of statisticians, the changing research frontier for the field, our role in industry, government and education, and our relationships to other disciplines and our communities. Finally, we look to the future and attempt to predict some directions.
