Student Paper Competition 2014
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 2014 Joint
Statistical Meetings. The Sections will pay registration fees for the winners
as well as a substantial allowance for transportation to the meetings and
lodging.
Anyone who is a student (graduate or undergraduate) on or after September 1,
2012 is eligible to participate. An entry must include an abstract, a six page
manuscript (including figures, tables and references), blinded versions of the
abstract and manuscript (with no authors and no references that easily lead to
identifying the authors), a C.V., 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 be in Postscript or PDF. 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 Sunday, December 15, 2013 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, 2014.
Additional important information on the competition can be accessed on ASA's
"Student Paper Competition/Travel Award to Attend the Joint Statistical
Meetings<http://www.amstat.org/sections/studentpaperawards.cfm>".
Inquiries and application materials should be emailed or mailed to:
