ASA's Journey to Consider Accreditation Long

摘要

Formal recognition of applied statistical practice is offered by three statistical societies-chartering by the Royal Statistical Society (RSS) and accreditation by the Statistical Society of Canada (SSC) and Statistical Society of Australia Inc. (SSAI). Although there are differences in the structure and complexity of the societies' programs, their accreditation decisions are based on a combination of professional and academic credentials, an applicant's body of work and involvement in the profession, and recommendations from experienced statisticians. They all offer two levels of accreditation: a first level for less-experienced statisticians and a second level for senior statisticians.
