The International Chinese Statistical Association

The International Chinese Statistical Association (ICSA) seeks to promote statistical disciplines through its scientific activities as a non-profit charitable organization.

About The International Chinese Statistical Association

In the early 1970s, a group of Chinese statisticians came together and began to establish the China International Statistical Association, which was known as The International Chinese Statistical Association. The need for a formal organization to carry out statistical functions and coordinate activities among all Chinese statisticians and scholars in the field of statistics led to the establishment of The International Chinese Statistical Association at a conference held in Chicago in 1986. It was also decided at the same meeting to establish an internal statistical journal to serve the members of the association, and a committee was formed in 1987 to propose a draft constitution and bylaws to support the association in achieving its goals.

Objectives of The International Chinese Statistical Association

The International Chinese Statistical Association has more than 1000 active members. Over the past years, it has been able to strengthen its relations with several major international institutions, and aims to:

  • Publishing statistical journals, probability and scientific meetings and other educational programs.
  • Expanding the applications of statistical techniques in all areas of society.
  • Better promote public interest in statistical methodology and related applications.
  • Promote better communication by developing common standards and terminology.
  • To promote collaborative efforts among educational, research, industrial and governmental personnel in statistical activities.

The International Chinese Statistical Association upholds the values ​​of pluralism and strives to achieve the goals for which it was established, regardless of race, religion, gender, or nationality.
