Reference excerpt

The Spanish Society of Statistics and Operations Research (Spanish: Sociedad de Estadística e Investigación Operativa, SEIO) is the professional non-profit society for the scientific fields of Statistics and Operations Research in Spain. It was founded in 1962 and it is dedicated to the development, improvement and promotion of the methods and applications of Statistics and Operations Research in its widest possible sense. The society has an ultimate goal of putting Statistics and Operations Research to the service of science and society. The society is recognized by the International Federation of Operational Research Societies and its subgrouping, the Association of European Operational Research Societies, as the main national society for Operations Research in its country. SEIO is also member of CIMPA, Centre International de Mathématiques Pures et Appliquées, Confederación de Sociedades Científicas de España (COSCE), and of the European Mathematical Society (EMS).

History SEIO was created in 1962 initially as an Operations Research society. In 1976, the fields of Statistics and Computer Science were included in the society. Since 1962 the society has had the following presidents:

Governance SEIO is governed by a three-year term president who manages the association with an executive council and two vice-presidents, one for statistics and one for operations research. There are also two academic councils, one per discipline. A president elect supports the president during one year. On a proposal of the members, within SEIO some working groups can be formed, based on either geographical or methodological and application affinity. The headquarters of SEIO is at the Universidad Complutense de Madrid, Facultad de Matemáticas, Despacho 502, 3 Plaza de Ciencias, 28040 Madrid, Spain.

Membership Currently (2016), SEIO has about 600 members – individuals (professors and researches from university and research institutions and professionals) and institutions from academia, industry and administration.

Publications SEIO publishes two journals, one in the area of Statistics and one in the field of Operations Research The journal TEST, published by Springer, focuses on papers that offer original theoretical contributions and that have demonstrated potential value for applications. Methodological content is crucial for publication in the journal as is detailed coverage of practical implications. In 2015 it had an impact factor of 1.207. The journal TOP, also published by Springer, publishes original findings in operations research and management sciences. Contributions investigate either mathematical issues or applications to real-world decision-making problems. The topics covered are continuous and discrete optimization, games, decision theory, logistics, production planning, stochastic models, simulation, and OR applications. In 2015 it had an impact factor of 0.927. SEIO also publishes BEIO, (Boletín de Estadística e Investigación Operativa), a divulgative journal.

Conferences Every year and a half, SEIO organizes a national conference, usually attended by more than 200 participants. The working groups also organize smaller workshops on a regular basis.

Awards At every conference, SEIO announces an award for an outstanding career in the fields of Statistics and Operations research, the so-called Ramiro Melendreras price.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Spanish Statistics and Operations Research Society

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Spanish Statistics and Operations Research Society claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In mathematics, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Spanish Statistics and Operations Research Society before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Spanish Statistics and Operations Research Society ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Spanish Statistics and Operations Research Society

In research: Spanish Statistics and Operations Research Society appears in mathematics research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Spanish Statistics and Operations Research Society in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Spanish Statistics and Operations Research Society is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Operations research societies, Research institutes in Spain, Scientific organizations established in 1962, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Spanish Statistics and Operations Research Society outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
