Abstract:
|
In 2006, the ASA president's Task Force on Statistics in Defense and Security was charged to "provide advice and a plan on how the statistical community can better serve the needs of the nation in the areas of national defense and security and identify ways in which those communities can have greater access to statistical expertise and the statistical community can learn about areas of concern in defense and security." In this roundtable, the task force chair (Alyson Wilson) and a member (Wendy Martinez) will discuss its recommendations, and ask: 1. Who are the main players in defense and security, at the policy, funding, and applications levels? 2. What are the important problems that need statistics? 3. How do we communicate statistics to the stakeholders? 4. What are the lessons learned from previous attempts to do this?
