Abstract:
|
Joseph B. (Jay) Kadane is well-known for his contributions to Bayesian theory, econometrics, and a wide variety of fields of application. Jay is a cross-disciplinary statistician, having worked in econometrics, law, medicine, political science, sociology, computer science, archaeology, and environmental science, among others. His work truly embodies the theme of this year's JSM, "Statistics: An All-encompassing Discipline". In celebration of Jay's 70th birthday, several colleagues and former students will highlight his contributions, which run the gamut from the theoretical foundations of statistics to the practicalities of testifying as an expert witness in a racial discrimination case of speeding on the New Jersey Turnpike.
