Monsieur Chipman a fait des contributions exceptionnelles à l’application de l’inférence statistique bayésienne en analyse des données. Ses travaux sur la sélection bayésienne de variables en planification d’expériences, sur le paradigme bayésien pour la régression non paramétrique par ondelettes, et sur une approche bayésienne pour la modélisation CART (arbre de classification et de régression) sont fondamentaux. Ses articles sont largement cités et ont un impact significatif sur le développement de l’analyse non paramétrique de données utilisant massivement l’ordinateur. En 2006, ses travaux ont été choisis pour une présentation orale complète à la réunion annuelle du NIPS, le Neural Information and Processing Systems.</font></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; text-align: justify; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal 'Times New Roman'; min-height: 15px; "><br></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; text-align: justify; "><font face="Times New Roman" size="3" style="font: 12.0px Times New Roman">Ce prix vise à souligner l’excellence, au plan de la recherche en sciences statistiques, d’un scientifique dont les travaux de recherche ont été effectués avant tout au Canada.

Professor Chipman has made outstanding contributions to the application of Bayesian statistical inference for data analysis. His work on Bayesian variable selection in experimental design, on a Bayesian paradigm for nonparametric wavelet regression, and on a Bayesian approach to CART (Classification and Regression Tree) modeling is seminal. His papers are widely cited and have a profound impact on the development of computer intensive nonparametric data analysis. In 2006 his work was selected for a full oral presentation at the Neural Information and Processing Systems (NIPS) meeting.</font></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; text-align: justify; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal 'Times New Roman'; min-height: 15px; "><br></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; text-align: justify; "><font face="Times New Roman" size="3" style="font: 12.0px Times New Roman">The award is designed to recognize the excellence in research of a statistical scientist whose work was carried out primarily in Canada.
