Statistics Without Borders (SWB) has made great strides as an organization in the past several months. This ASA-affiliated group, which now includes nearly 100 volunteers, provides pro bono statistical expertise to organizations working on problems broadly related to international health issues. The mission statement recently adopted by SWB states the following:rnStatistics Without Borders is an apolitical organization under the auspices of the American Statistical Association, comprised entirely of volunteers, that provides pro bono statistical consulting and assistance to organizations and government agencies in support of these organizations' not-for-profit efforts to deal with international health issues (broadly defined). Our vision is to achieve better statistical practice, including statistical analysis and design of experiments and surveys, so that international health projects and initiatives are delivered more effectively and efficiently.
