American Society of Agronomy Creates Statistical Section

摘要

With the start of 2011, the American Society of Agronomy instituted a communities/sections structure to ensure interests and activities of all members are represented, promote the integration and accommodation of multidisciplinary sciences, ensure the organizational structure has broad interest and appeal, create a fluid and flexible structure that enables the organization to accommodate emerging issues, and promote relevance to prospective members. The newly formed Biometry and Statistical Computing Section announces the creation of three communities started with current members responding to the most recent needs of applied statistical applications in the agronomic, crops, and soil sciences (ACS). Communities organize around topical areas and are made up of groups of American Society of Agronomy members with common professional interests. The purposes of communities are to gather members, encourage scientific exchange and sharing of information, facilitate planning, enhance communication, and provide coordination of programs and services.
