EspañolINSTITUTE OF STATISTICIANS
The 'Institute of Statisticians' was a British professional organization founded in 1948 to protect the interests of professional statisticians.[1] It was originally named ''The Association of Incorporated Statisticians Limited'', but this was later changed.[2] The Institute was formed after the Royal Economic Society prevented a 1947 extension to the Royal Charter of the Royal Statistical Society which would have allowed it to carry out examinations.
The Institute of Statisticians attempted to obtain a Royal Charter of its own in 1978 and this led to discussions with the Royal Statistical Society about a possible merge. Talks foundered over disagreement on how to arrange the various membership categories. Within a few years, however, the talks were revisited and, on 1 January, 1993, the two organisations merged, becoming simply the ''Royal Statistical Society''.
From 1950 the Institute published a journal, first called ''The Incorporated Statistician'' (ISSN 14669404) then renamed ''The Statistician'' (ISSN 00390526) in 1962, before being subsumed into the ''Journal of the Royal Statistical Society'' as ''Series D'' upon the merger in 1993.[3][4]
