Chicago Statistics Community,
We're off to a great start to the year! We had our first luncheon in September where Mei Najim gave an outstanding presentation entitled "Advanced Analytics and Machine Learning in Insurance Claims". We had over 60 statisticians in attendance.
This month, we have a really special event, the Statistician of the Year Award. It is a very distinguished honor that was first given in 1966 to John Tukey, creator of the famous Tukey Test. This year we will be honoring Dr. Jeff Wu of Georgia Tech. I strongly encourage you to attend.
Looking forward to seeing everyone this October,
Adam McElhinney
