Conversation on statistics without borders, (17 May 2015) between Cathy Furlong (Chair) and Katherine Condon and Kirsten West (JAIOS)

摘要

In 2005, the American Statistical Association (ASA) started a group called "Special Interest Group on Volunteerism". At the 2008 Joint Statistical Meeting (JSM), a panel session entitled "Statisticians Speaking Out and Reaching Out on Global Health" was on the program and sparked a conversation between Gary Shapiro and Fritz Scheuren, which eventually resulted in the formation of Statistics Without Borders (SWB). SWB had four co-founders: Steve Pierson, Gary Shapiro, Fritz Scheuren and Jim Cochran.
