Royal Statistical Society launches pandemic task force
Founded by RSS president-elect, Sylvia Richardson, the task force aims to ensure that the RSS can contribute its expertise to UK national and devolved governments and public bodies, regarding statistical issues during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Richardson is chairing the group alongside RSS past president David Spiegelhalter, supported by a steering group. It will also work with a wider network of RSS members.
The group’s remit is to:
- Support the production of evidence-based analyses
- Emphasise the importance of statistical principles and best practice in relation to the analysis of observational data
- Contribute to the design of future data collection
- Increase public understanding of the statistical issues linked to Covid-19.
