JSM (the Joint Statistical Meetings) is the largest annual gathering of statisticians held in North America. It is held jointly with the American Statistical Association, the International Biometric Society(ENAR and WNAR), the Institute of Mathematical Statistics, the Statistical Society of Canada, the International Chinese Statistical Association, and the International Indian Statistical Association. Census Bureau staff were at JSM to exchange the latest research findings with colleagues from throughout the world. Census Bureau staff were at sessions throughout the 2013 JSM Link to a non-federal Web site:
