Statistical Computing and Statistical Graphics Sections
American Statistical Association
Student Paper Competition 2003
The Statistical Computing and Statistical Graphics Sections of the ASA are
co-sponsoring a student paper competition on the topics of Statistical
Computing and Statistical Graphics. Students are encouraged to submit a
paper in one of these areas, which might be original methodological
research, some novel computing or graphical application in statistics, or
any other suitable contribution (for example, a software-related project).
The selected winners will present their papers in a topic contributed
session at the 2003 Joint Statistical Meetings. The Sections will pay
registration fees for the winners as well as a substantial allowance for
transportation to the meetings and lodging (which in most cases covers these
expenses completely).
Anyone who is a student (graduate or undergraduate) on or after September 1,
2002 is eligible to participate. An entry must include an abstract, a six
page manuscript (including figures, tables and references), a C.V., and a
letter from a faculty member familiar with the student's work. The
applicant must be the first author of the paper. The faculty letter must
include a verification of the applicant's student status and, in the case of
joint authorship, should indicate what fraction of the contribution is
attributable to the applicant. We prefer that electronic submissions of
papers be in Postscript or PDF. All materials must be in English.
All application materials MUST BE RECEIVED by 5:00 PM PST, Friday, January
3, 2003 at the address below. They will be reviewed by the Student Paper
Competition Award committee of the Statistical Computing and Graphics
Sections. The selection criteria used by the committee will include
innovation and significance of the contribution. Award announcements will
be made in late January, 2003.
Additional important information on the competition can be accessed on the
website of the Statistical Computing Section, www.statcomputing.org. A
current pointer to the website is available from the ASA website at
