Abstract:
|
The Committee on Professional Ethics in Statistics will present a thought-provoking panel discussion where eminent statisticians describe a specific ethical dilemma they faced in their careers. The real-life ethical scenarios are broadly generalized to different content areas and include medicine and epidemiology, law, and government. The final outcome of each scenario will then be revealed by the panel. In keeping with the theme for JSM 2009, the real-life change in policy that followed the resolution or non-resolution of each scenario will be highlighted.
