The Bernoulli Society was created through a gradual process between the years 1973‐75, becoming a member of the International Statistical Institute in 1975. Thus, it was deemed statistically very fitting to celebrate its 50 years in 2024, taking and "average”. In the months leading to 2024, there was a fair amount of discussion amongst our officers and members about how to best commemorate the Society’s 50 years. In the end, the consensus was to opt for something modest but thoughtful, rather than a separate big event. This manifested in a few different ways.
First and foremost, there was special celebratory event that took place in Bochum, during our 11th World Congress. The event kicked off with a commemorative video, including testimonials from Presidents and Scientific Secretaries. This was followed by a Presidential Address, by Victor M. Panaretos, and a speech by Past President Wilfrid S. Kendall, who provided a critical overview of the Society’s “second 25 years”,
A second project to mark our Golden Jubilee involved recording interviews with the Society’s Presidents, Scientific Secretaries, van Zwet Medal winners over the years. Through a sustained effort lasting over a year, several interviews were conducted and recorded, including insights and perspectives on the Society.
All the videos mentioned above can be found below in sequence.

A major challenge in many modern economic, epidemiological, ecological and biological questions is to understand the randomness in the network structure of the entities they study. Although analysis of data on networks goes back to at least the 1930s, the importance of statistical network modelling for many areas of substantial science has become more pronounced since the turn of the century. This Committee on Statistical Network Science (CSNS) will focus on promoting and fostering research in statistical and probabilistic network analysis, in the wider sense. This remit includes graphical models, random graph models as well complex functional network models.
Committee Members:
(Chair) Gesine Reinert (University of Oxford, UK), Professor of Statistics. Editor-in-chief for SpringerBriefs in Probability and Mathematical Statistics.
Vladimir Batagelj (University of Ljubljana, Slowenia), Professor Emeritus Of Mathematics, is known for his work in discrete mathematics and combinatorial optimization, particularly analysis of social networks and other large networks.
Anuška Ferligoj (University of Ljubljana, Slowenia), Faculty of Social Sciences, Professor Emeritus, is an elected member of the European Academy of Sociology and International Statistical Institute, and has been a member of boards of the International Network for Social Network Analysis, International Federation of Classification Societies, and International Sociological Association.
Claire Gormley (School of Mathematics and Statistics, University College Dublin, Ireland), co-director of the Science Foundation Ireland Centre for Research Training (CRT) in Foundations of Data Science.
Sarika Jalan (Indian Institute of Technology Indore, India), Complex Systems Lab. Professor Salan is Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Computational Science and Executive Member of the Complex Systems Society.
Goeran Kauermann (Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München, Germany), Chair of Applied Statistics in Social Sciences, Economics and Business.
Eric D. Kolaczyk (Boston University, USA), Professor of Statistics, Director, Rafik B. Hariri Institute for Computing.
Clelia Di Serio (Università della Svizzera Italiana, Lugano, and San Raffaele Vita-Salute University, Milano, Italy), Professor in Statistics.
Ernst C. Wit (Università della Svizzera Lugano, Switzerland) Professor of Statistics and Data Science.

Can we improve social support for the elderly during COVID-19? This research highlights which groups of elderly people have either non-existent or insufficient social support during the COVID-19 pandemic and are therefore more vulnerable. For these elderly people, sustainable care policy planning and crisis intervention planning should be organised especially for future waves of the coronavirus and other pandemics. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5tIWuBvA6NI
Normal or not? How to detect anomalies in networks Complex interactions such as financial transactions or links between computers can often be visualised as networks. Anomalies in such networks may indicate deviant behaviour. How can we detect such anomalies? In this video we shall encounter a statistical test called Monte Carlo test to address this issue. The Monte Carlo test can also be applied in many other scenarios. https://sciani.com/portfolio/normal-or-not-how-to-detect-anomalies-in-networks/
Sometimes, correlation does imply causation You often hear “correlation does not imply causation” in order to warn the listener about spurious relationships that may be observed in everyday life. The number of homicides seems to correlate with ice cream sales, but clearly this is not a causal relationship. Given that all we can see in real life are mere correlations, can we ever be sure of causality? This video will describe a network inspired definition of causality in order to derive a method, known as the PC algorithm, to detect causal interactions. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XoLxQfi194c
