Prize in Statistics recipient will be announced in October, 2016, and 
will be honored during a special ceremony in Marrakech in 2017.  The 
Prize will carry with it a cash award of at least $75,000.

An international prize recognizing excellence in statistics has been a 
dream for many people for many decades, and the International Prize in 
Statistics Foundation <http://statprize.org/organization.cfm>is thrilled 
to be making this long-awaited prize a reality. But your help is

*ASA Releases Statement on P-values and Statistical Significance*

The ASA “*Statement on Statistical Significance and /P/-Values* 
<http://amstat.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/00031305.2016.1154108#.Vt2Osua8Q2c>” 
includes six principles underlying the proper use and interpretation of 
the /p/-value and is intended to improve the conduct and interpretation 
of quantitative science and inform the growing emphasis on 
reproducibility of science research. “The p-value was never intended to 
be a substitute for scientific reasoning,” said Ron Wasserstein, the 
ASA’s executive director, in a *press release* 
<http://www.amstat.org/newsroom/pressreleases/P-ValueStatement.pdf>. 
“Well-reasoned statistical arguments contain much more than the value of 
a single number and whether that number exceeds an arbitrary threshold. 
The ASA statement is intended to steer research into a ‘post /p/<0.05 
era.’” The statement is published in */The American Statistician/* 
<http://amstat.tandfonline.com/action/showAxaArticles?journalCode=utas20>along 
with more than a dozen discussion papers to provide further perspective 
on this broad and complex topic.
