  • Statistics Making an Impact
    John Pullinger J. R. Statist. Soc. A (2013) 176, Part 4, pp. 819–839 Statistics making an impact John Pullinger House of Commons Library, London, UK [The address of the President, delivered to The Royal Statistical Society on Wednesday, June 26th, 2013] Summary. Statistics provides a special kind of understanding that enables well-informed deci- sions. As citizens and consumers we are faced with an array of choices. Statistics can help us to choose well. Our statistical brains need to be nurtured: we can all learn and practise some simple rules of statistical thinking. To understand how statistics can play a bigger part in our lives today we can draw inspiration from the founders of the Royal Statistical Society. Although in today’s world the information landscape is confused, there is an opportunity for statistics that is there to be seized.This calls for us to celebrate the discipline of statistics, to show confidence in our profession, to use statistics in the public interest and to champion statistical education. The Royal Statistical Society has a vital role to play. Keywords: Chartered Statistician; Citizenship; Economic growth; Evidence; ‘getstats’; Justice; Open data; Public good; The state; Wise choices 1. Introduction Dictionaries trace the source of the word statistics from the Latin ‘status’, the state, to the Italian ‘statista’, one skilled in statecraft, and on to the German ‘Statistik’, the science dealing with data about the condition of a state or community. The Oxford English Dictionary brings ‘statistics’ into English in 1787. Florence Nightingale held that ‘the thoughts and purpose of the Deity are only to be discovered by the statistical study of natural phenomena:::the application of the results of such study [is] the religious duty of man’ (Pearson, 1924).

  • Perspectives on 'Communicating Evidence About Medicines'
    Perspectives on 'Communicating evidence about medicines' A report of a one-day workshop held by the Academy of Medical Sciences on 6 June 2016 Disclaimer This report does not represent a formal Academy of Medical Sciences position on how best to communicate evidence about medicines. Rather this document reflects the wide-ranging discussions that took place at the workshop. The report of this meeting will feed into the Academy’s workstream on ‘How can we all best use evidence to judge the potential benefits and harms of medicines?'.1 We hope that this report will also encourage wider discussion about communicating evidence about medicines. We would therefore welcome feedback on the report. For further information, please contact Dr Rachel Brown, Policy Officer at the Academy of Medical Sciences ([email protected], 020 3141 3223). We are most grateful to Professor Theresa Marteau FMedSci for Chairing this workshop and to Professor Sir David Spiegelhalter OBE FRS for his helpful contributions in the development of this workshop. We are also especially thankful to Dr Paul Robinson, Dr Jacintha Sivarajah, and Dr Catherine Harvey for their contributions to the workshop which were given at short notice, and to all other individuals who contributed to the event. All web references were accessed in June/July 2016. This work is © Academy of Medical Sciences and is licensed under Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International. 1. Led by Professor Sir John Tooke FMedSci, the workstream also includes workshops on evaluating evidence in health, conflicts of interest, and communicating evidence about medicines in the media.

  • From the Editor
    FROM THE EDITOR This issue contains seven articles on sampling methods, five other articles, three reports, an obituary and acknowledgements of referees of volume 6. There are following seven articles devoted to some problems of sampling surveys: 1. Ranked Set Sampling and Its Applications in Finite Population Studies (by B. Kowalczyk from Poland). Several authors have studied various problems concerning ranked set sampling (RSS) design when sampling is implemented from an infinite population. In the present paper emphasis is placed on the implementation of RSS procedure from finite populations. The author examines basic properties of a population mean and total estimator under RSS using unified finite population theory. The author also conducts several simulation studies based on real data, which illustrate possibilities of applications of RSS design and point out a new aspect of RSS, which has not been analyzed so far. Ranking (semi-ranking) on a basis of grouped data is the new aspect of RSS presented in this paper. This approach seems to have many applications in finite population practice. 2. Multivariate Sample Allocation Problem in Two Schemes of Two-Stage Sampling (by M. Kozak from Poland). The paper contains considerations on a multivariate sample allocation in two-stage sampling. The author proposes the formulas of the sample allocation in two schemes of the multivariate two-stage sampling, i.e., SI, SI, and a special case of pps, SI, with the same sample sizes of secondary sampling units from primary sampling units. In both cases a self- weighting design is used. 3. A General Family of Estimators for Estimating Population Mean Using Two Auxiliary Variables in Two-Phase Sampling (by H.P.
