The NZSA supports young statisticians by providing a forum to: network with other young statisticians; share information to further their development and careers; and allow them to activity participate in the statistical community.
Young statisticians are studying statistics or have graduated in the last five years and are working or studying in the area related to statistics.
Useful information for young statisticians
Young statisticians are encouraged to join the NZSA and the first year of membership is free to senior students enrolled at New Zealand universities, or who are graduates of NZ universities studying overseas, and not in full-time employment.
Normally some funding is available to enable young statisticians to travel to NZSA conferences. Details are circulated with conference registration material. Special dinners for young statisticians are becoming a feature of our conferences.
Jim Young (the one on the left here) spoke to the young statisticians at the NZSA 2007 conference in Christchurch on July 4 on the meaning of life, not much statistics and being YOUNG. Here are his notes - far out, man.
The current young statistician’s representative on the NZSA executive committee is Nathaniel Pihama.
NZSA Conference, 2010
The NZSA encourages presentations from students at its annual conferences, and as an enticement, prizes are awarded for the best student presentations. This year Ting Wang (Massey University) was awarded the prize for the best student talk, with Sarojinie Fernando (Massey University) and Chew-Seng Chee (University of Auckland) a joint second. The prize fund was provided by Hoare Research Software (HRS) and the NZSA.

The 2009 NZ Maths and Stats postgraduate conference (NZMASP) was held at the seaside township of Foxton Beach in November. As in previous years, the conference was well attended with 57 students enrolled from honours, masters, and doctorate degrees. The student presentations were very enjoyable and covered a good spread of subjects with approximately 1/3 each of the talks split between pure mathematics, applied mathematics, and statistics.
A report on the NZMASP conference is provided by Luke Fullard in the April 2010 newsletter.
