  • 1.  Call for poster abstracts for 2014 Conference on Statistical Practice (CSP)

    Posted 08-15-2013 11:09
    Dear members of CNSL (Stat Consulting Section):

    For the next two weeks, poster abstract submission is open for the Third Annual ASA Conference on Statistical Practice (CSP) in Tampa, Florida on February 20-22, 2014. http://www.amstat.org/meetings/csp/2014/abstracts.cfm

    This is a great conference that's relatively cozy (~400 attendees or so) and entirely focused on the practice of statistics rather than on the theory and abstract methods of statistics. There are four themes to the conference: Communication, Impact, and Career Development (of which consulting and collaboration is a sub-theme); Data Modeling and Analysis; Big Data Prediction and Analytics; Software and Graphics.

    Posters are encourage in all themes, especially in the best practices for statistical consulting and collaboration!

    The poster abstract submission deadline is August 29, 2013.

    Dear members of CNSL (Stat Consulting Section):

    The deadline for submitting posters to the CSP (Conference on Statistical Practice) is this Thursday, August 29!

    http://www.amstat.org/meetings/csp/2014/abstracts.cfm

    So far only two abstracts related to statistical consulting have been submitted. My biased viewpoint is that statistical consultants and collaborators are the statisticians with the most to say about "statistical practice." The conference will accept 60 posters, but so far there are only 2 about consulting!

    Make this section proud by submitting an abstract for a poster with your contribution of the best practices in statistical practice!
