Statistical Computing and Statistical Graphics Sections American Statistical
Association Student Paper Competition 2010

The Statistical Computing and Statistical Graphics Sections of the ASA are
co-sponsoring a student paper competition on the topics of Statistical Computing
and Statistical Graphics.  Students are encouraged to submit a paper in one of
these areas, which might be original methodological research, some novel
computing or graphical application in statistics, or any other suitable
contribution (for example, a software-related project).  The selected winners
will present their papers in a topic-contributed session at the 2010 Joint
Statistical Meetings.  The Sections will pay registration fees for the winners
as well as a substantial allowance for transportation to the meetings and
lodging.

Anyone who is a student (graduate or undergraduate) on or after September 1,
2009 is eligible to participate.  An entry must include an abstract, a six page
manuscript (including figures, tables and references), blinded versions of the
abstract and manuscript (with no authors and no references that easily lead to
identifying the authors), a C.V., and a letter from a faculty member familiar
with the student's work.  The applicant must be the first author of the
paper.  The faculty letter must include a verification of the applicant's
student status and, in the case of joint authorship, should indicate what
fraction of the contribution is attributable to the applicant.  We prefer that
electronic submissions of papers be in Postscript or PDF.  All materials must be
in English.

All application materials MUST BE RECEIVED by 5:00 PM EST, Monday, December 14,
2009 at the address below.  They will be reviewed by the Student Paper
Competition Award committee of the Statistical Computing and Graphics Sections. 
The selection criteria used by the committee will include innovation and
significance of the contribution as well as the professional quality of the
manuscript.  Award announcements will be made in late January, 2010.

Additional important information on the competition can be accessed on the
website of the Statistical Computing Section, www.statcomputing.org.  A current
pointer to the website is available from the ASA website at www.amstat.org.
