RSS identifies challenges ahead for government statistics in inquiry

The Society’s National Statistics Advisory Group has contributed ideas on how to improve UK’s statistical system going forward, in a consultation response to a government select committee.

The Society contributed to the Public Administration and Constitutional Affairs Committee (PACAC) inquiry on the governance of statistics, both via a written consultation response (PDF) and in person when our executive director Hetan Shah (pictured) gave evidence to the committee on February 5 2019, along with RSS vice president Guy Nason (in his capacity as professor of statistics at the University of Bristol).

C Oswald George prize 2018: Announcement

The article ’Teaching statistics through the law’ by KJ Byun and John S Croucher has been awarded the C Oswald George prize for 2018. 

Although the prosecutor’s fallacy and the famous People vs Collins case have long been used as examples in teaching conditional probability and Bayes theorem, this article introduces new contexts and discussion points, and emphasizes the extent of rich authentic material for developing statistical and probabilistic concepts in complex real situations.
