Abstract:
|
In conjunction with the theme of the 2012 conference 'Statistics - Growing to Serve a Data Dependent Society, the goal of this session is to highlight some of the innovative activities being done by Federal statistical agencies and to encourage new graduates to consider employment with the Federal government. Among the activities being showcased are: (1) the Census Bureau's On-the-Map, a geographic visualization with built in disclosure avoidance techniques, (2) the National Center for Science and Engineering Statistics' interactive graphics of various state data, (3) the Energy Information Administration's National Energy Modeling System (NEMS), an econometric modeling system designed to project long-term changes in energy supply, demand, and prices under user-specified assumptions, and (4) experiences with using hierarchical models at the National Agricultural Statistics Service.
