As with the ad hoc Bernoulli‑IMS One World Symposium 2020, virtual con‑ gresses have the potential to reach delegates worldwide, at low cost and with diminished Calendar of Events p. 16 carbon footprint. A modest registration fee is necessary to cover certain costs already in‑ curred, but nevertheless we hope for a success similar to that of last year’s WC. A list of the keynote lectures (together with some further details) may be found on p. 1 of this Newslet‑ ter. I am very much looking forward to meeting you at the lectures and breakout sessions, and during further exciting events to be offered by the organizers. The special events of the Congress include the three prize‑winning lectures of the winners of the 2020 New Re‑ searcher Awards in Probability Theory. There is a Pre‑meeting for New Researchers during July 17–18, with one day dedicated to talks and career‑development events, and also am‑ ple opportunities for networking.

The end-points are chosen because mathematical work started to appear regularly in 1883 and 1933 saw the formation of the Industrial and Agricultural Research Section– to promote these particular applications was to encourage mathematical methods. In the period three movements are distinguished, associated with major figures in the history of mathematical statistics–F. Y. Edgeworth, Karl Pearson and R. A. Fisher. The first two movements were based on the conviction that the use of mathematical methods could transform the way the Society did its traditional work in economic/social statistics while the third movement was associated with an enlargement in the scope of statistics. The study tries to synthesise research based on the Society’s archives with research on the wider history of statistics. Key names : Arthur Bowley, F. Y. Edgeworth, R. A. Fisher, Egon Pearson, Karl Pearson, Ernest Snow, John Wishart, G. Udny Yule. Keywords : History of Statistics, Royal Statistical Society, mathematical methods.

Yet, many of these components are given short shrift in university statistics programs. Can even the best statistician today really be "completely sufficient?"

  • A R Software for Wavelets and Statistics
    A R Software for Wavelets and Statistics Here is a list and a brief description of some important R packages related to/that make use of wavelets. Such packages are important as they enable ideas to be reproduced, checked, and modified by the scientific community. This is probably just as important as the advertisement of the ideas through scientific papers and books. This is the ‘reproducible research’ view expressed by Buckheit and Donoho (1995). Making software packages freely available is an extremely valuable service to the community and so we choose to acclaim the author(s) of each package by displaying their names! The descriptions are extracted from each package description from CRAN. The dates refer to the latest updates on CRAN, not the original publication date. Please let me know of any omissions. adlift performs adaptive lifting (generalized wavelet transform) for irregu- larly spaced data, see Nunes et al. (2006). Written by Matt Nunes and Marina Knight, University of Bristol, UK, 2006. brainwaver computes a set of scale-dependent correlation matrices between sets of preprocessed functional magnetic resonance imaging data and then performs a ‘small-world’ analysis of these matrices, see Achard et al. (2006). Written by Sophie Achard, Brain Mapping Unit, University of Cambridge, UK, 2007. CVThresh carries out level-dependent cross-validation for threshold selection in wavelet shrinkage, see Kim and Oh (2006).

  • Coauthorship and Citation Networks for Statisticians
    Submitted to the Annals of Applied Statistics arXiv: arXiv:0000.0000 COAUTHORSHIP AND CITATION NETWORKS FOR STATISTICIANS By Pengsheng Jiy and Jiashun Jinz University of Georgiay and Carnegie Mellon Universityz We have collected and cleaned two network data sets: Coauthor- ship and Citation networks for statisticians. The data sets are based on all research papers published in four of the top journals in statis- tics from 2003 to the first half of 2012. We analyze the data sets from many different perspectives, focusing on (a) centrality, (b) commu- nity structures, and (c) productivity, patterns and trends. For (a), we have identified the most prolific/collaborative/highly cited authors. We have also identified a handful of \hot" papers, suggesting \Variable Selection" as one of the \hot" areas. For (b), we have identified about 15 meaningful communities or research groups, including large-size ones such as \Spatial Statis- tics", \Large-Scale Multiple Testing", \Variable Selection" as well as small-size ones such as \Dimensional Reduction", \Objective Bayes", \Quantile Regression", and \Theoretical Machine Learning". For (c), we find that over the 10-year period, both the average number of papers per author and the fraction of self citations have been decreasing, but the proportion of distant citations has been increasing. These suggest that the statistics community has become increasingly more collaborative, competitive, and globalized. Our findings shed light on research habits, trends, and topological patterns of statisticians. The data sets provide a fertile ground for future researches on or related to social networks of statisticians. 1. Introduction. It is frequently of interest to identify \hot" areas and key authors in a scientific community, and to understand the research habits, trends, and topological patterns of the researchers.
