The Statistical Computing and Graphics Award
The ASA Sections of Statistical Computing and Statistical Graphics
have established the Statistical Computing and Graphics Award to
recognize an individual or team for innovation in computing, software,
or graphics that has had a great impact on statistical practice or
research. Typically, awards are granted bi-annually.
The prize carries with it a cash award of $5,000 plus an allowance of
up to $1,000 for travel to the annual Joint Statistical Meetings (JSM)
where the award will be presented.
Qualifications
The prize-winning contribution will have had significant and lasting
impact on statistical computing, software or graphics.
The Awards Committee depends on the American Statistical Association
membership to submit nominations. Committee members will review the
nominations and make the final determination of who, if any, should
receive the award. The award may not be given to a sitting member of
the Awards Committee or a sitting member of the Executive Committee of
the Section of Statistical Computing or the Section of Statistical
Graphics.

Awards Committee.
