A Tribute to Ingram Olkin

Methodology 2008-02-08 v1

Abstract

It is with pleasure and pride that I introduce this special section in honor of Ingram Olkin. This tribute is especially fitting because, among the many profound and far-reaching contributions that he has made to our profession, Ingram Olkin was the key force behind the genesis of Statistical Science. As put so eloquently by Morrie DeGroot [1], the founding Executive Editor of Statistical Science.
