These pages provide information on the Queensland Branch of the
Statistical Society of Australia Inc.
The Queensland Branch organises and runs regular meetings and
occasional workshops and symposia. At each meeting, an invited speaker
presents a seminar covering aspects of their work of interest to
statisticians. Currently, Branch meetings are held on the first
Tuesday of each month, although this may vary to accommodate visiting
speakers. Details of upcoming
and past meetings may be found on this
web site.
The Statistical Society of Australia Inc (SSAI) was founded in
1962 as a national "umbrella" organisation to support and further the
work of state statistical societies already in existence, to establish
a national journal and newsletter and to host national
conferences. The overall objective of the Society is to further the
study, application and good practice of statistical theory and methods
in all branches of learning and enterprise. The Society provides
optional professional accreditation for members, at the level of
Accredited Statistician (AStat) or Graduate Statistician
(GStat). Details may be found at the SSAI WWW
page.
Membership of the SSAI is open to all those with an interest in
statistics and the objectives of the Society. For details, see joining SSAI.
Please address queries or correspondence to the
Branch secretary.
