Professor wins Waksberg Aware

The journal Survey Methodology has established an annual invited paper series in honour of Joseph Waksberg to recognise his contributions to survey methodology. Each year a prominent survey statistician is chosen to write a paper that reviews the development and current state of an important topic in the field of survey methodology. The paper reflects the mixture of theory and practice that characterised Joe Waksberg's work.

Professor Pfeffermann was selected to win by a four-person committee appointed by Survey Methodology and the American Statistical Association. He will receive an honorarium and give the 2011 Waksberg invited address at the Statistics Canada symposium. The paper will be published in a future issue of Survey Methodology .
