May 1, 1986-Apri1 30, 1987 Department of Statistics - Dr. Dean L. Isaacson, Department Head Statistics at ISU is made up of three interlocking and complementary parts: The Department of Statistics in the College of Sciences and Humanities; the Statistical Laboratory, an institute under the Office of the Vice President for Research; and the Statistics Department of the Agriculture and Home Economics Experiment Station. Faculty of the S&H department typically also hold appointments in one or both of the other components of the statistical center. Some of them hold joint appointments with other academic departments in recognition of applied statistics subject-matter expertise. Such joint appointments and similar arrangements made for support of statistics graduate students are one source of our vitality in applied statistics and strength in providing consulting service to the rest of the university. Our goals: a. To be a world leader in a broadly based program of research and teaching of statistics at the graduate level, with special emphasis on applied statistics. b. To offer useful and challenging graduate level service courses designed, through sectioning and appropriate staffing, to meet the needs of different groups of students; and to provide superior statistical consulting services throughout the University for faculty and students engaged in research. c. To teach a broad spectrum of courses at the undergraduate level, recognizing the differing requirements of students in the biological, physical, or social sciences, in the humanities, and in business and engineering; at the same time to offer a wide choice of courses to undergraduate statistics and biometry majors. d. To extend superior statistical consulting and research services beyond the University to researchers in local, state, and federal agencies and industry as time and resources permit. 1986-87 highlights: a-I. The Department of Statistics has decided to undertake the revision of the Snedecor-Cochran book on Statistical Methods for the Iowa State University Press. This will be the eighth edition of George W. Snedecor's pioneering book, which has been translated into a number of languages and has had a world-wide influence on the use of statistics in agricultural research and development. A contract was signed with the press in January 1987. a-2. Our strong national and international role in the field of statistics was recognized in several ways. Noel Cressie and Glen Meeden were honored as fellows of the American Statistical Association. William Q. Meeker, Jr., editor-e1ect, became editor of Technometrics for 1987-89. William Kennedy continued as editor of The American Statistician.
