This award honors the contributions of David R. Cox to the foundations of statistical inference, experimental design, and data analysis. It was established in 2022 through an endowment by Deborah G. Mayo, professor emerita of philosophy at Virginia Tech, to promote research and teaching that illuminates conceptual, theoretical, philosophical, and historical perspectives on statistical science and to advance understanding of comparative approaches to the interpretation and communication of statistical data.
The honoree will receive a $2,000 honorarium and up to $1,000 toward travel expenses to present a lecture at JSM.
The award will be for a paper, monograph, book, or cumulative research. Anyone who has made noteworthy contributions to statistics in the spirit of Cox’s contributions as outlined above may be nominated.
