Description
The Hong Kong Statistical Society (HKSS) was founded in 1977 with the aim of promoting the development of statistics by providing a medium for advancing knowledge and enhancing appreciation of the theory and application of statistics. It provides a forum for practising statisticians in Hong Kong to exchange research findings and opinions. It also has a keen interest in promoting the correct use and interpretation of statistics among non-professional statisticians in the community.
In August 2001, the HKSS entered into an agreement with the Royal Statistical Society (RSS), under which the examination which has for many years been held by the RSS in Hong Kong is replaced by the HKSS examination as from the May 2002 round of the examination. It is the target of the HKSS to establish in Hong Kong a full accreditation and examination system for the statistical profession by end 2004. For more details of the HKSS examination, please visit the section on HKSS examination in this website.
There are six categories of membership for the HKSS, viz. Full Member, Professional Member, Honorary Member, Student Member, Corporate Member and Examination Associate. There are at present about 300 members. For more details about how to join the various membership categories and the criteria involved, please visit the sections on Membership and Professional Membership.
