Nominations for the 2002 COPSS Fisher Lecture Award
The Fisher Lecture award was established in 1963 by
the Committee of Presidents of Statistical Societies (COPSS)
to honor the contributions of Sir Ronald Aylmer Fisher and the work of a present-day statistician.
The Fisher Lectureship recognizes the importance of statistical methods for scientific investigations.
The Lecture is to be broadly based and is to emphasize aspects of statistics and probability that
are closely related to scientific collection and interpretation of data, which are areas in which
Fisher made outstanding contributions. It is anticipated that this lecture will be published in one
of the COPSS society journals. Since 1982 COPSS has added a cash prize and a certificate to the
Lectureship. Nominating letters, with any supporting documentation, should be sent by November 1, 2001, to
Kathryn Chaloner, School of Statistics, University of Minnesota, 313 Ford Hall, 224 Church St SE,
Minneapolis MN 55455, email: [log in to unmask]
Aparna Huzurbazar
Secretary/Treasurer, COPSS
