The American Statistical Association's Section for Statistics in Marketing
is sponsoring its first annual award competition, offering two separate
$2000 scholarships to students who best apply statistical thinking to
marketing problems. One award is for the best theory and modeling entry and
the other for the best applied case study entry. Submissions in the theory
and modeling award must describe a novel contribution to the statistics (or
statistical modeling) literature as applied to marketing. Submissions to the
applied case study will illustrate able application of statistical
methodology in a marketing setting but need not make a unique contribution
to the statistics literature.
Each award is accompanied by a $2000 (US) scholarship to support students in
traveling to and attending the Joint Statistical Meetings (JSM), where they
will present their work. The next JSM is in Atlanta, Georgia (USA), August
5-9, 2001.
