AwardsDavid Cox Medalists
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 winners 2025 are: Professor Richard Samworth, FRS is awarded the David Cox Medal for Statistics for his outstanding contributions to methodological and theoretical statistics. Richard has made numerous seminal contributions including to shape-constrained modelling, high dimensional statistics, change-point analysis and nonparametric classification. These important and broad areas of statistical science encompass the majority of the prevailing topics where statistics has focussed over the past two decades, and Richard has been at the forefront from the outset. In addition to his stellar research contributions, Richard has mentored with distinction many students and young researchers , as well as serving the profession tirelessly through journal editorships and other contributions to multiple statistical societies. Professor Eric Tchetgen Tchetgen Professor Eric Tchetgen Tchetgen is awarded the David Cox Medal for Statistics for his outstanding contributions to the development of pioneering statistical theory and methods that have reshaped our understanding and practice of causal inference. Eric’s noteworthy contributions recognised by this award include the development of Proximal Causal Inference and groundbreaking contributions to instrumental variable methodology, two fundamental analytic frameworks for credible causal inference in the face of intractable confounding. Beyond his groundbreaking works on proximal inference and instrumental variables, Eric has made seminal contributions to multiple other areas, including interference, mediation analysis, missing data, conformal inference, survival analysis, higher order influence functions, and data fusion. Professor Nancy Ruonan Zhang is awarded the David Cox Medal for Statistics for her pioneering contributions to statistical genomics, particularly in cancer and single-cell genomics and their applications in biomedical research. Her work has advanced the analysis of high-dimensional biological data through the development of methods for change-point detection and false positive control, noise reduction in single-cell RNA sequencing, single cell and spatial omic data integration, and cell type deconvolution in bulk tissue analysis. She has also made significant contributions to understanding cancer genome evolution through the development of allele-specific DNA copy number estimation methods that reveal intratumor heterogeneity. Through these contributions, Nancy has demonstrated exceptional leadership in bridging statistical innovation with real-world biomedical challenges, significantly influencing both the statistical and life sciences communities. EMS – EMS lecturers

The Bernoulli Lecturer position was established in 2013. List of Speakers:
Lévy Lecture
Previous Lévy Lectures 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.
The David Cox Medal for Statistics
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. The next cycle of awards will be made in 2028. 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.
