I am extremely grateful to Wilfrid for his perfect p. 17 handling of Bernoulli matters in the past two years. My thanks also goes to Ed Waymire, now past past-president. These two wise men helped me through president-electancy and I hope to be able to approximate their standards. Let me welcome Susan Murphy as our new president- elect.

  • 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).

I believe he wasn't the only person not feeling well: the story goes that many Structured Physical Processes people were not quite used to the Uzbekistan food. p. 3 At the Toronto conference there were several named lectures in probability and statistics, Making the First Step Towards one of them being the Tukey Lecture. It was presented by the famous statistician David Scientific Research p. 6 Brillinger. David gave in his Tukey lecture a beautiful account of the person John Tukey. Apart from being a data-detective (“Analyzing Data: Sanctification or Detective Work?” Am.

  • Statistical Inference for Dynamical Systems: a Review Kevin Mcgoff, Sayan Mukherjee, Natesh S
    Statistical Inference for Dynamical Systems: A review Kevin McGoff, Sayan Mukherjee, Natesh S. Pillai Abstract. The topic of statistical inference for dynamical systems has been studied extensively across several fields. In this survey we focus on the problem of parameter estimation for nonlinear dynamical systems. Our objective is to place results across distinct disciplines in a common setting and highlight opportunities for further research. 1. INTRODUCTION The problem of parameter estimation in dynamical systems appears in many areas of science and engineering. Often the form of the model can be derived from some knowledge about the process under investigation, but parameters of the model must be inferred from empirical observations in the form of time series data. As this problem has appeared in many different contexts, partial solutions to this problem have been proposed in a wide variety of disciplines, including nonlinear dynamics in physics, control theory in engineering, state space model- ing in statistics and econometrics, and ergodic theory and dynamical systems in mathematics. One purpose of this study is to present these various approaches in a common language, with the hope of unifying some ideas and pointing towards interesting avenues for further study. By a dynamical system we mean a stochastic process of the form (Xn;Yn)n, where Xn+1 depends only on Xn and possibly some noise, and Yn depends only on Xn and possibly some noise. We think of Xn as the true state of the system at time n and Yn as our observation of the system at time n. The case when no noise is present has been most often considered by mathematicians in the field of dynamical systems and ergodic theory.
