Dear all,
Enclosed is a column that Prof. Bin Yu, the President of IMS (Institute of
Mathematical Statistics), has written for the IMS Bulletin on IMS
membership to explain why one would want to join IMS. It is to appear in
the 2014 July/Aug Issue at the IMS websitehttp://imstat.org.
In a nutshell, the message in the column is the following:
IMS provides a premier human network of global nature. IMS runs premier
journals such as the Annals of Statistics, the Annals of Probability, the
Annals of Applied Statistics and the Annals of Applied Probability. IMS
also gives prestigious awards and runs or jointly runs major statistical
conferences such as Joint Statistical Meetings (JSM) and World Congress of
Probability and Statistics.
IMS membership is free for students, and reduced rates for new graduates
and for people with permanent residence in a number of countries designated
by the IMS Council (http://imstat.org/membership/designated_countries.htm).
Best regards,
Jingrui
