The ASA staff and JSM program committee will be working hard to transition the JSM to a virtual event and appreciate your support during this time. Should you have any questions in the meantime, please feel free to send an email to meetings@amstat.org.

nQuery at Joint Statistical Meetings 2020, Philadelphia

As in previous years the nQuery team will also be (virtually) present at JSM 2020. You can read our blog about JSM 2019 that was held in Denver, Colorado here.

At JSM 2020 we hope to have the same great experience of meeting both long term and new nQuery users alike, even if this time it's a little different!

At JSM 2019 we took this chance to get direct feedback on some great new features we plan to release in the near future and also to discuss how nQuery can further help our users with sample size and power analysis for frequentist, Bayesian and adaptive trial planning.
