During the period 1962--1964, I had a tenure track Assistant Professorship in Mathematics at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York, where I did research in probability theory, especially on linear diffusion processes. Being somewhat lonely…
Tadeusz Cali\'{n}ski was born in Pozna\'{n}, Poland in 1928. Despite the absence of formal secondary eduction for Poles during the Second World War, he entered the University of Pozna\'{n} in 1948, initially studying agronomy and in later…
Subject of our present paper is the analysis of the origins or historical roots of the Higgs boson research from a bibliometric perspective, using a segmented regression analysis in a reference publication year spectroscopy (RPYS). Our…
The 175th anniversary of the ASA provides an opportunity to look back into the past and peer into the future. What led our forebears to found the association? What commonalities do we still see? What insights might we glean from their…
I arrived in Berkeley in 1957, at which time Leo was an Acting Assistant Professor of Mathematics here. He had recently proven the "individual ergodic theorem of information theory"---a triumph---and since this was becoming central to my…
In the context of Smart City, the dynamic of the presence of people can be analysed using high-dimensional spatio-temporal mobile phone data. In order to find regularities and detect anomalies in the daily profiles, we propose an approach…
Beginning in the 1970s, Alexander Philip Dawid has been a leading contributor to the foundations of statistics and especially to the development and application of Bayesian statistics. He is also known for his work on causality, especially…
Richard A. Litherland was born in 1953 in England. He received his PhD at Trinity College in Cambridge in 1979 and moved to the USA in 1983. He had a lengthy and distinguished career as a professor of mathematics and researcher of…
