The Statistics and Probability African Society
(SPAS)
|
|
The Statistics and Probability African Society (SPAs), has been launched, as an intiative, in May 2008 through its website (www.statpas.net). This initiative has been turned into reality by the
massive support of african probabilists and statisticians, mainly in the universities, who registered as members.
By this time, May 2010, the members number is now more than one hundred and forty,
coming from all African countries and from the Diaspora.
A continental committee (CC), has been set under a general coordination
. The technical committees also have been formed. This board has to prepare the African
Congress of Probability and Statistics (ACPS I), to be held in Dakar in May 2010.
The journal Afrika Statistika is the official one of the Society. Four volumes has
already been released. Although it is already indexed by the most important databases, it has to be improved. This is
the main task of the Publications committee. We will launch very soon the SPAS monograph Series, that will help African scholars to publish specialized books with international audience.
The SPAS, places its action in the frame of African Union (AU) and the Nepad.
The SAPS, has to be the main partner, in Africa, of the international or
regional societies and associations in Statistics and probability like the Institut International de Statistiques (IIS), the Institute of Mathematical Statistics (IMS), the Bernouili Society of Probability and Statistics, the European, Australian, Asian sociteis, etc..
In one word, the SPAS works for the development of Statistics and Probability
in Africa and for an African presence in the World scene.
May, 2010
