Significance  

Significance is a quarterly magazine for anyone interested in statistics and the analysis and interpretation of data.


The aim of Significance is to communicate and demonstrate in an entertaining and thought-provoking way the practical use of statistics in all walks of life and to show how statistics benefit society.

 

As well as promoting the discipline and covering topics of professional relevance, Significance contains a mixture of statistics in the news, case-studies, reviews of existing and newly developing areas of statistics, and practice and problem solving  techniques.

 
Significance is an official magazine for both the RSS and the ASA and their respective members. Individual subscriptions and on-line articles are also available to purchase through the publisher Wiley-Blackwell. See their Web site for free access to a 'virtual' issue of articles with a medical flavour.
