Royal Statistical Scandal
Royal Statistical Scandal False and misleading claims by the Royal Statistical Society Including on human poverty and UN global goals Documentary evidence Matt Berkley Draft 27 June 2019 1 "The Code also requires us to be competent. ... We must also know our limits and not go beyond what we know.... John Pullinger RSS President" https://www.statslife.org.uk/news/3338-rss-publishes-revised-code-of- conduct "If the Royal Statistical Society cannot provide reasonable evidence on inflation faced by poor people, changing needs, assets or debts from 2008 to 2018, I propose that it retract the honour and that the President makes a statement while he holds office." Matt Berkley 27 Dec 2018 2 "a recent World Bank study showed that nearly half of low-and middle- income countries had insufficient data to monitor poverty rates (2002- 2011)." Royal Statistical Society news item 2015 1 "Max Roser from Oxford points out that newspapers could have legitimately run the headline ' Number of people in extreme poverty fell by 137,000 since yesterday' every single day for the past 25 years...

We shall assume that the data form a complete record of all events which occur within a pre-specified spatial region A and a pre-specified time- interval, (0; T ). We call a data-set of this kind a spatio-temporal point pattern, and the underlying stochastic model for the data a spatio-temporal point process. 1.1 Motivating examples 1.1.1 Amacrine cells in the retina of a rabbit One general approach to analysing spatio-temporal point process data is to extend existing methods for purely spatial data by considering the time of occurrence as a distinguishing feature, or mark, attached to each event. -

Letter from the RSS Covid-19 Task Force To
Letter from the Royal Statistical Society Covid-19 Task Force to the Guardian regarding data transparency 7 August 2020 The Covid-19 public health crisis has placed a sharp emphasis on the role of data in government decision-making. During the current phase – where the emphasis is on Test and Trace and local lockdowns – data is playing an increasingly central role in informing policy. We recognise that the stakes are high and that decisions need to be made quickly. However, this makes it even more important that data is used in a responsible and effective manner. Transparency around the data that are being used to inform decisions is central to this. Over the past week, there have been two major data-led government announcements where the supporting data were not made available at the time. First, the announcement that home and garden visits would be made illegal in parts of northern England. The Prime Minister cited unpublished data which suggested that these visits were the main setting for transmission. Second, the purchase of two new tests for the virus that claim to deliver results within 90 minutes, without data regarding the tests’ effectiveness being published. We are concerned about the lack of transparency in these two cases – these are important decisions and the data upon which they are based should be publicly available for scrutiny, as Paul Nurse pointed out in this paper at the weekend. Government rhetoric often treats data as a managerial tool for informing decisions. But beyond this, transparency and well sign-posted data builds public trust and encourages compliance: the daily provision of statistical information was an integral part of full lockdown and was both expected and valued by the public. -

Invited Conference Speakers
Medical Research Council Conference on Biostatistics in celebration of the MRC Biostatistics Unit's Centenary Year 24th - 26th March 2014 | Queens' College Cambridge, UK Invited Conference Speakers Professor Tony Ades, School of Social and Community Medicine, University of Bristol Tony Ades is Professor of Public Health Science at the University of Bristol and leads a programme on methods for evidence synthesis in epidemiology and decision modelling. This was originally funded through the MRC Health Services Research Collaboration. With Guobing Lu, Nicky Welton, Sofia DIas, Debbi Caldwell, Malcolm Price, Aicha Goubar and many collaborators in Cambridge and elsewhere, the programme has contributed original research on Network Meta- analysis, multi-parameter synthesis models for the epidemiology of HIV and chlamydia, synthesis for Markov models, expected value of information, and other topics. Tony was a member of the Appraisals Committee at the National Institute for Clinical Excellence (NICE), 2003-2013, and was awarded a lifetime achievement award in 2010 by the Society for Research Synthesis Methodology. Seminar Title: Synthesis of treatment effects, Mappings between outcomes, and test responsiveness Tuesday 25 March, 11.00-12.30 session Abstract: Synthesis of treatment effects, mappings between outcomes, standardisation, and test responsiveness AE Ades, Guobing Lu, Daphne Kounali. School of Social and Community Medicine, University of Bristol Abstract: We shall report on some experiments with a new class of models for synthesis of treatment effect evidence on “similar” outcomes, within and between trials. They are intended particularly for synthesis of patient- and clinician- reported outcomes that are subject to measurement error. These models assume that treatment effects on different outcomes are in fixed, or approximately fixed, ratios across trials. -
