- The Royal Statistical Society (RSS) is a learned society for statistics and a professional body for statisticians in the UK. It was founded in 1834 as the Statistical Society of London (LSS). At that time there were many provincial statistics societies throughout Britain, but most have not survived. The Manchester Statistical Society (which is older than the LSS) is a notable exception. Instrumental in founding the LSS were Richard Jones (economist), Charles Babbage, Adolphe Quetelet, William Whewell and Thomas Malthus. Among its famous members was Florence Nightingale, who was the society's first female member in 1858. Notable RSS presidents have included William Beveridge and Harold Wilson. The LSS became the RSS (Royal Statistical Society) by Royal Charter in 1887, and merged with the Institute of Statisticians in 1993. Today the society has 7,200 members around the world, of whom some 1,500 are professionally qualified, with the status of Chartered Statistician (CStat). In January 2009, the RSS received Licensed Body status within the UK Science Council, and since February 2009 Chartered Statisticians have been able to apply for Chartered Scientist (CSci) status. Unusually among professional societies, all members of the RSS are known as "Fellows" — fellowship is not a mark of distinction. Before the 1993 merger with the Institute of Statisticians, Fellows often used the post-nominal letters FSS. This merger enabled the Society to take on the role of a professional body as well as that of a learned society; use of the unearned FSS qualification was viewed as inappropriate and strongly discouraged, and it became less common. The post-nominal letters FRSS are sometimes seen, but this is a simple mistake. The Society has been particularly engaged with the passage of the Statistics and Registration Service Act 2007, having long argued for legislation on statistics. The RSS organises an annual conference; the two most recent being held at the University of Nottingham in September 2008, and the University of Edinburgh in September 2009, at which the Society's 175th anniversary was celebrated. The Society awards Guy Medals in Gold, Silver and Bronze, in honour of William Guy. It also publishes the Journal of the Royal Statistical Society, which currently consists of three separate series of journals whose contents include papers presented at Ordinary Meetings of the Society, namely Series A (Statistics in Society), Series B (Statistical Methodology) and Series C (Applied Statistics), as well as a general audience magazine called Significance. The University of Plymouth was selected by the Royal Statistical Society in October 2008 to become the host institution for its Centre for Statistical Education from August 2009. The RSS team reached the finals of University Challenge: The Professionals 2006, where they were beaten 230 to 125 by a team from the Bodleian Library, Oxford.
- Die Royal Statistical Society (RSS) ist eine Gelehrtengesellschaft und eine professionelle Körperschaft für Statistiker in Großbritannien. Sie wurde 1834 als „Statistical Society of London“ ebendort gegründet. Zu den berühmtesten ehemaligen Mitgliedern zählte Florence Nightingale, die 1858 das erste weibliche Mitglied der Gesellschaft wurde. 1887 wurde aus der Statistical Society of London die jetzige Royal Statistical Society gebildet. Im Jahre 1993 wurde auch noch das Institute of Statisticians integriert. Die RSS hält eine jährliche Konferenz ab; die letzte fand im September 2008 an der Universität von Nottingham statt. Die nächste Konferenz wird im September 2009 an der Universität von Edinburgh stattfinden und das 175jährige Bestehen der Gesellschaft feiern. Die Royal Statistical Society verleiht jährlich die nach dem britischen Physiker und Statistiker William Guy (1810–1885) benannte Guy-Medaille.
- La Royal Statistical Society, affiliata all'Istituto Internazionale di Statistica, importante istituzione per la statistica britannica e mondiale, è stata fondata nel 1834 come Statistical Society of London su proposta di Lambert-Adolphe-Jacques Quételet e nel 1887 diventa Royal Statistical Society.
- ファイル:Statistical Society of London - 1837 logo. png Transactions に印刷されたロゴ（1837年） 王立統計学会（英: Royal Statistical Society、RSS）は、イギリスにおける統計学の学会であり、統計学者の職能団体である。1834年、ロンドン統計学会（Statistical Society of London、LSS）として創設された。当時、イギリスには各地に統計学会があったが、その多くは既に存在しない。例外としてRSSよりも長い歴史を持つマンチェスター統計学会（Manchester Statistical Society）がある。 ロンドン統計学会の設立には、リチャード・ジョーンズ、チャールズ・バベッジ、アドルフ・ケトレー、ウィリアム・ヒューウェル、トマス・ロバート・マルサスが協力した。1858年には、初の女性会員としてフローレンス・ナイチンゲールが加わっている。ウィリアム・ベヴァリッジやハロルド・ウィルソンは会長を務めた。 1887年、ロンドン統計学会から王立統計学会となり、1993年には統計協会（Institute of Statisticians）と合併した。現在は世界中に7,200名の会員がいて、うち1,500名は統計のプロとしてイギリスで認定されている。他の職能団体とは異なり、全ての会員をフェローと呼ぶ。 同学会は統計に関する立法に尽力し、2007年、Statistics and Registration Service Act という法案が通過した。 RSSは毎年総会を開催しており、2007年7月にはヨーク大学で開催された。総会では William Guy を記念した Guy Medal が授与される。学会誌 Journal of the Royal Statistical Society を出版しており、現在は3つのシリーズに分かれている（シリーズA Statistics in Society、シリーズB Statistical Methodology、シリーズC Applied Statistics）。また、一般向けの雑誌 Significance も出版している。
