Statistical Computing and Statistical Graphics Sections
American Statistical Association
Student Paper Competition 2017
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 2017 Joint Statistical
Meetings. The prize carries with it a cash award of $1,000.
Anyone who is a student (graduate or undergraduate) on or after
September 1, 2016 is eligible to participate. An entry must include an
abstract, a six page manuscript (including figures, tables and
references; a two-column format is acceptable), blinded versions of the
abstract and manuscript (with no author names or other information that
easily identifies the authors), a CV, 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 consist of
PDF files. All materials must be in English.
Students may submit papers to no more than two sections and may accept
only one section's award. Students must inform both sections applied to
when he or she wins and accepts an award, thereby removing the student
from the award competition for the second section.
All application materials MUST BE RECEIVED by 5:00 PM EST, Thursday,
December 15, 2016 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 as well as the
professional quality of the manuscript. Award announcements will be made
by January 15th.
