ISM2016-06
The Institute of Statistical Mathematics (ISM) and the Japan Statistical Society (JSS) have inaugurated the Akaike Memorial Lecture Award under their joint sponsorship. The lecture will be presented during the Japanese Joint Statistical Meeting, a combined meeting of the organizations involved in the statistical sciences, and will feature a biennial lecturer recognized for his or her research accomplishments in this field. A memorial to the legacy of Dr. Hirotugu Akaike, we hope that this lecture will be a valuable stimulus to the minds of younger colleagues and contribute to the development of the statistical sciences.
The first lecture will be held as the planning session of the JSS for the 2016 Japanese Joint Statistical Meeting, which will be held at Kanazawa University from Sunday, September 4 to Wednesday, September 7.
As the awardee, ISM and JSS are proud to announce to have retained Prof. C.F. Jeff Wu of Georgia Institute of Technology, School of Industrial and Systems Engineering.
