Abstract:
|
The current preeminence of U.S. science and technology will face new challenges, such as the globalization of the workplace. This is an appropriate time to look at the prospects of our discipline, encourage more of the brightest students to study quantitative methods, and provide guidance for individuals now preparing for careers in statistics and related fields. This means looking inward in order to motivate and inspire the next generation of statisticians. In this research, a summary of the demographics in the statistical profession is presented based on a critical review of the available literature on membership surveys. In addition, a comparison of gender parity in research funding within a number of academic institutions is performed. Descriptive statistics, pooled and stratified analyses, and multivariate regression methods are conducted.
