The David Cox Medal for Statistics commemorates the pioneering statistical work of Sir David Cox in the fields of statistical theory, methodology and applications.
Three medals are awarded every three years by the Bernoulli Society in partnership with the American Statistical Association (ASA), the International Biometric Society (IBS), the Institute of Mathematical Statistics (IMS), the International Statistical Institute (ISI), and the Royal Statistical Society (RSS).
The awards will be made for the first time in 2025.
Criteria
The award will recognise mid-career individuals, with an age limit of 50 (with exceptions made for mitigating circumstances such as career breaks). The awardees’ research will be original, with conceptual depth and novelty, moving the field or a substantive application area forward.
Candidates for the award will be assessed based on a specified body of work, with a limit of up to five papers. It is not necessary for nominees to be members of any of the partner societies.
Remit of the Prize Committee
The Prize Committee consists of one representative from each partner society, the chair of which will rotate between partners on each cycle. The committee remit is to receive and consider the nominations and to come to an agreement on the medal recipients.
Members:
Peter McCullagh (chair) – Bernoulli Society
Tom Belin - ASA
Ruth Keogh - IBS
Eric B Laber - IMS
Huixia Judy Wang - ISI
Sylvia Richardson - RSS
Remit of the Search Committee
The Search Committee consists of two representatives from each partner society, the chair of which will rotate between partners on each cycle.
The value of establishing a search committee will be to ensure consistency of calibre of nominations, to ensure the search is wide and deep and that nominations reflect the diversity of the statistical community.
The Search Committee does not preclude nominations coming from other sources – it is intended as an additional method.
Members:
Andrea Rotnitzky (chair) - ASA
Richard Davis – Bernoulli Society
Judith Rousseau - Bernoulli Society
Alan Welsh - IBS
Tom Louis - IBS
Jianwen Cair - IMS
Veronika Rockova - IMS
Byeong Park - ISI
Pedro Luis do Nascimento Silva - ISI
Christl Donnelly - RSS
Idris Eckley - RSS
Nominations for the inaugural presentation of the 2025 David Cox Medal for Statistics are now open and will be closing on 31 October 2024.
The Lévy lecture is a plenary lecture presented at the annual SPA conference and at the Bernoulli-IMS World Congress in Probability and Statistics, sponsored by the journal Stochastic Processes and their Applications.
