A short biographical note on the life and works of K. Ramachandra, one of the leading mathematicians in the field of analytic number theory in the second half of the twentieth century.
This is a brief account of the life and work of G\"oran Lindblad.
The research on meta-analysis and particularly multivariate meta-analysis has been greatly influenced by the work of Ingram Olkin. This paper documents Olkin's contributions by way of citation counts and outlines several areas of…
The goal of this article is to invite the reader to get to know and to get involved into higher Teichm\"uller theory by describing some of its many facets.
Mathematical population genetics is only one of Kingman's many research interests. Nevertheless, his contribution to this field has been crucial, and moved it in several important new directions. Here we outline some aspects of his work…
Brief recollections by the author about how he contributed to the production of the Feynman Lectures in Physics
The Ising model is one of the standard models in statistical physics. Since 1969 more than 12000 publications appeared using this model. In 1996 Ernst Ising celebrated his 96th birthday. Some biographical notes and milestones of the…
In writing this biographical memoir of John Hammersley, we have tried to communicate something of the character of the person, and of the impact of his scientific achievements across lattice models (for example, percolation, self-avoiding…
In this small note I try to summarize some observations about Euclid's remarkable role in mathematics and about the ambient philosophy.
Formulas for calculating the Riesz function, introduced by Marcel Riesz in connection with the Riemann hypothesis, are derived; and the behavior of the Riesz function is discussed.
Kenneth G. Wilson made deep and insightful contributions to statistical physics, particle physics, and related fields. He was also a helpful and thoughtful human being.
The research on and application of artificial intelligence (AI) has triggered a comprehensive scientific, economic, social and political discussion. Here we argue that statistics, as an interdisciplinary scientific field, plays a…
The h index was introduced by Hirsch to quantify an individual's scientific research output. It has been widely used in different fields to show the relevance of the research work of prominent scientists. I have worked out 26 practical…
We discuss the scientific contributions of Edsger Wybe Dijkstra, his opinions and his legacy.
In the first part of this paper I will describe my work together with Lars and in the second part I will give a look at some of Lars's oldest papers.
Wasssily Hoeffding's terminal illness and untimely death in 1991 put an end to efforts that were made to interview him for Statistical Science. An account of his scientific work is given in Fisher and Sen [The Collected Works of Wassily…
The g index was introduced by Leo Egghe as an improvement of Hirsch's index h for measuring the overall citation record of a set of articles. It better takes into account the highly skewed frequency distribution of citations than the h…
We present an approach to statistical data modeling and exploratory data analysis called `LP Statistical Data Science.' It aims to generalize and unify traditional and novel statistical measures, methods, and exploratory tools. This article…
A few new indices to characterize the scientific output of scientists are defined in the paper. These indices are compared with -index and its alternative indices using some proven assertions. The gd-indices are introduced as extensions of…
We review the life and scientific work of F.V Atkinson, mathematician. The article consists of a brief overview of his academic and professional life followed by an extensive compilation of his life's work, some unpublished. He is best…
