Jay Bartroff and Jinlin Song Receive Abraham Wald Prize in Sequential Analysis

Professor and Associate Chair Jay Bartroff and his former PhD advisee Jinlin Song (USC, now at Analysis Group), have received the 17th Abraham Wald Prize in Sequential Analysis for their paper, “Sequential Tests of Multiple Hypotheses Controlling False Discovery and Nondiscovery Rates.” The award was delayed due to the pandemic, but their achievements were celebrated at the International Workshop in Sequential Methodologies in Orem, Utah in May 2024. 

The Abraham Wald Prize in Sequential Analysis is one of the most prestigious awards in the field, honoring the best publication in Sequential Analysis each year. Established in 2004, the prize is named for statistician Abraham Wald who founded the field of sequential analysis.

Congratulations, Jay and Jinlin!
