Abstract:
|
This panel will discuss the role statistical societies can play in building statistical capacity, both within their geographical region and also globally. The panelists are current leaders in the American Statistical Association (ASA), Statistical Society of Canada (SSC), International Statistical Institute (ISI), Royal Statistical Society (RSS), and Statistics Without Borders (SWB), and each will discuss current and planned capacity building efforts within their society. As a group, the panel will discuss global needs and how capacity building efforts can be more effective and better coordinated.
