Abstract:

Academic statisticians want tenure, promotion and awards. Training and productivity are found in a Curriculum Vita (CV). This paper shows how to convert productivity to tables and graphs. Tables are sorted into those that are and are not peer reviewed. Presentation tables are sorted into local, national, and international. Each row has signposts in a career: date of first contribution, PhD, etc. Contribution date (y) subtracted from current year gets contribution interval (dy). Table entries are: c,w,m, where c is count, w is weighted sum and m is mean. For each entry, w/dy is productivity per year. If the second of a pair is = the first, indicate with a + showing increased productivity; or else negative. A Leadership Index, Improvement Index and frequency table are computed from these tables. Smoothed productivity data show career patterns. Examples are used to show key points.

  • The address information is for the authors that have a + after their name.
  • Authors who are presenting talks have a * after their name.
