Chernoff Lecture

The New England Statistical Society has created the Chernoff Excellence in Statistics Award to commemorate Herman Chernoff’s outstanding, long-term contributions to the field of statistics. These contributions include work on large sample theory, experimental design, sequential analysis, methods of presenting statistical data in visual form, and statistical decision making. The Chernoff Excellence in Statistics Awards is the most prestigious award bestowed by the NESS, given to an individual who, in the tradition of Herman Chernoff’s work, has made exceptional contributions to the theory, methodology, or novel applications to statistics and/or data science. The awardee will be revealed at the last session on Saturday, October 2, 2021, and the awardee will give the Chernoff Lecture.

The conference will be held in Providence, Rhode Island on the University Of Rhode Island Providence Campus (https://symposium.nestat.org/venue.html) with a possibility for remote participation.
