The International Biometric Society, founded in 1947, is an international organization for the advancement of the subject-matter sciences through the development of quantitative theorgies and the development, application, and dissemination of effective mathematical and statistical techniques.
Purpose
To this end, it welcomes to membership biologists, statisticians, and others interested in applying statistical techniques to research data. The International Biometric Society and its journal, Biometrics, serve as an invaluable means of communication between the subject-matter specialists and the statisticians.
Journal
Biometrics is published quarterly. Its general objectives are to promote and extend the use of mathematical and statistical methods in the various subject-matter disciplines, by describing and exemplifying developments in these methods and their application in a form readily assimilable by experimenters and those concerned primarily with analysis of data. The journal is a ready medium for publication of papers by both the experimentalist and the statistician. The papers in the journal include statistical, authoritative expository or review articles, and analytical or methodological papers contributing to the planning or analysis of experiments and surveys, or the interpretation of data. Many of the papers in Biometricscontain actual worked examples of the statistical analyses proposed.
Meetings
Encouragment is given the subject-matter experimenter by holding symposia dealing with applied statistics as a part of annual meetings of the biological, chemical, engineering, and physical science societies. Such symposia afford an opportunity for subject-matter specialists and statisticians to discuss problems of mutual interest. At Regional meetings of the Society, a member is afforded an opportunity to present technical papers. This permits the exchange of ideas and information through formal presentation and informal contacts with fellow statisticians and experimentalists.
Biometric Bulletin
The International Biometric Society also publishes an informal newsletter containing news about membership activities, letters to the editor, and membership and editorial commentaries. It is a means for expressing ideas on a wide range of statistical and biometrical matters and is also published quarterly.
