One Team Will Receive ASA Data Insights Award
In 2016, the Consortium for Mathematics and Its Applications (COMAP) added a data insights problem, Problem C, to its annual Mathematical Contest in Modeling (MCM). In this new modeling challenge, teams are presented with a modeling problem and data set.
The American Statistical Association will designate one outstanding team as the winner of the ASA Data Insights Award, and qualified triage judges are needed to assist in the initial review of submissions. In mid-February, triage judges will receive the judging guidelines, initial allocation of papers to review, and examples. Also, there will be a web training session February 22 at 1 p.m. ET.
The MCM is open to both high-school students and college undergraduates. In 2020, more than 5,000 teams are anticipated to participate in Problem C.
If you are interested in serving as a Problem C triage judge, contact Dave Olwell. Judging must be completed by March 22, and judges are compensated $10 per paper scored.
