SPES Awards for Outstanding Presentations

William Li, Awards Chair, University of Minnesota

The Section on Physical and Engineering Sciences is pleased to announce the results of its annual Outstanding Presentation competition for papers given at the 2002 JSM in New York. These awards are based on audience evaluation of papers contributed to SPES-sponsored sessions at the Joint Statistical Meetings. The purpose of the awards is to encourage continuous improvement in the presentation of statistical information by recognizing at least some of the truly excellent talks given each year in SPES sessions. The winners will receive cash awards as part of their recognition. $100 will be awarded for best presentation, $50 will be awarded for runner-up, and $25 will be given for honorable mentions. Certificates will also be awarded. The awards this year, which were presented at the SPES mixer during the meetings in San Francisco, are: 

Outstanding Presentation Award Dr. Russell Barton, of the Pennsylvania State University, for his SPES Contributed Paper presentation, “Experiment Designs for Simultaneous Forward and Inverse Approximations”.
Runner-Up Outstanding Presentation Award Dr. Alexandra Kapatou, of the University of Michigan, for her SPES Contributed Paper presentation, “Robustness of Multivariate EWMA Control Charts When the Covariance Matrix is Estimated Using Small Samples”.	Photo
