2012 annual meeting

The 2012 Albuquerque Chapter meeting was held in Santa Fe on Friday, June 15, 2012. The highlight of the meeting was a one-day short course, Introduction to Monte Carlo Methods, taught by Kert Viele of Berry Consultants, LLC. The course provided an introduction to many standard Monte Carlo techniques, including Monte Carlo integration and Markov chain Monte Carlo, and was attended by over 50 people, many from outside the chapter. Many thanks to the ASA Council of Chapters for subsidizing the course registration fees significantly.


The International Year of Statistics (Statistics2013) 2013 is the International Year of Statistics, a worldwide celebration and recognition of the contributions of statistical science. ACASA supports the goals of the International Year of Statistics, and asks that our members think about what they can do to
  • Increase public awareness of the power and impact of Statistics on all aspects of society
  • Nurture Statistics as a profession, especially among our younger colleagues and students
  • Promote creative uses of the sciences of Probability and Statistics
