International Statistical Institute
The International Statistical Institute (ISI) is a professional association of statisticians. The Institut International de Statistique or International Statistical Institute was founded in 1885 although there had been international congresses from 1853.[1]. The Institute publishes a variety of books and journals, and holds an international conference every two years. Its permanent office is located in the CBS building in Den Haag - Leidschenveen (The Hague), in The Netherlands.
The international conference is well-known amongst statisticians as ISI Session, however, it is called ISI World Statistics Congress from 2011 on.
It serves as an umbrella group for a number of specialized Associations:
- Bernoulli Society for Mathematical Statistics and Probability (BS)
- International Association for Statistical Computing (IASC)
- International Association for Official Statistics (IAOS)
- International Association of Survey Statisticians (IASS)
- International Association for Statistics Education (IASE)
- International Society for Business and Industrial Statistics (ISBIS)
- The International Environmental Society (TIES)
- Standing Committee of Regional and Urban Statistics (SCORUS) is a sub-committee of the IAOS.
