Abstract:
|
Do you want to help expand the global impact of statistics? Can you help a university in a developing country create and build a statistical collaboration laboratory? Are you interested in learning how to effectively communicate and collaborate with researchers to harness the power of statistical thinking to answer their research questions? To celebrate the International Year of Statistics, LISA (Virginia Tech's Laboratory for Interdisciplinary Statistical Analysis) has launched its "LISA 2020" initiative to create a network of 20 statistical collaboration laboratories in developing countries by 2020. Come to this roundtable discussion to discuss your ideas for this project and how you can contribute to building statistics capacity in developing countries.
