STAT-HAWKERS at the Joint Statistical Meeting 2018, Vancouver, Canada

STAT-HAWKERS had 8th Booth at the Joint Statistical Meeting which was held during July 28–August 2, 2018 at Vancouver Convention Centre, Canada. It was a great pleasure and chance that Dr. Sukhminder Singh who was MS Advisor of Sarjinder Singh during 1985–1987 was present at the conference as can be found in Fig. 1.

From Fig. 1, it can be seen that there are three main posters in front of the booth where the first one is for “Tea with T.R.U.M.P.”, second one is for “Tutti- Frutti with T.R.U.M.P”, and the third one is “Children Must Be Present to get a Toy”. There was a monograph and a special chair for the readers to sit on it and give feedback on the monograph, “Tuned Ratio Unbiased Mean Predictor” which is abbreviated as T.R.U.M.P. It was a natural type attraction to the attendees to visit the booth and have a cup of tea. Figure 2 shows the types of tea was available at the booth for any visitor.

You might have noted that we do not had many toys for children at Vancouver, JSM 2018 because we could not find those inflatable toys such as Elephants, Monkeys etc. at Vancouver in any market. Thus only beach balls and fish were available for children.
