Dear ASA Statisticians,
I just wanted to mention a general suggestion – In reading messages on the ASA Connect site, I occasionally run into a message that uses an abbreviation whose meaning is unknown to me. This makes it difficult for me to see quickly whether this message is relevant to me and to understand it. For anything other than obvious abbreviations, I recommend writing out an abbreviation in full words the first time it is used, with the abbreviation in parentheses, or vice versa, e.g., American Statistical Association (ASA) or ASA (American Statistical Association). Thereafter you can use the abbreviation alone. Just a suggestion that might help to more widely disseminate your message. Thanks.
