Jeff Wu\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EABSTRACT:\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EA\n        key measure of the maturity and quality of a scientific\n        community is how it judges and values \u003Cem\u003Eaccomplishments\u003C\/em\u003E\n        and (or versus)\u0026nbsp; \u003Cem\u003Escholarship\u003C\/em\u003E.\n        \u0026nbsp;To address this question, I will describe\n        the motivation or drive for accomplishments and\/or scholarship\n        at three levels: inspiration, aspiration, ambition. They\n        represent different (but not necessarily exclusive) mindsets or\n        \u003Cem\u003Emodi operandi\u003C\/em\u003E. I will use several prominent\n        examples in statistics history to explain or illustrate the acts\n        of inspiration, aspiration, and ambition. They include:\n        Pearson\u2019s arguments with Fisher and with Yule, some breakthrough\n        work of Fisher, Neyman, Tukey, Box, Efron, and the more humbling\n        experience of my work in experimental design. Then I will share\n        some thoughts on what are good or bad mathematical statistics\n        work. Finally, I will give some advice (three dos, three don\u2019ts)\n        to young researchers. Throughout this talk, I will use the\n        \u201clens\u201d of inspiration, aspiration, and ambition in making my\n        examinations, remarks and suggestions. \u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Statisticians at Work: Inspiration, Aspiration, Ambition"}],"uid":"27187","created_gmt":"2011-09-06 13:23:12","changed_gmt":"2016-10-08 01:55:38","author":"Anita Race","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2011-09-14T12:00:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2011-09-14T13:00:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2011-09-14T13:00:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2011-09-14 16:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2011-09-14 17:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2011-09-14 17:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"1242","name":"School of Industrial and Systems Engineering (ISYE)"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[],"invited_audience":[],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
