President's welcome message

Welcome to the website of the Hong Kong Statistical Society.

Since its establishment, the society has been making tremendous effort to promote statistical profession and education in Hong Kong. Its activities range from promoting professional development through accreditation of professional qualifications to organizing seminars delivered by renowned statisticians to running statistical project competitions for high school students. All these activities certainly help the local statistical community to prosper and the society to gain its reputation in the region.

In the era of big data, data science plays a major role in various disciplines. In fact, many other professions not limited to statistics have incorporated new contents such as predictive modeling in their daily businesses. This trendy topic indeed offers us a lot of opportunities to collaborate with practitioners in different disciplines to promote the good use of relevant statistical theories. We shall keep doing our best to advance and publicize statistical knowledge in the community.

I hope that our website can provide you useful information about the society. To improve the quality of our services, your comments and suggestions are always and most welcome.

Leo YU

The President
