Abstract:
|
In this talk, I will share highlights and personal recollections of Prof. Arnold Zellner's life and work in several areas. First, I will discuss his pivotal role in the development of Bayesian statistics during his early days at the University of Wisconsin. Second, I will touch on his seasonal adjustment work with the US Census Bureau in the 1970s. Finally, I will talk about his influence on the statistics and econometrics programs at the University of Chicago beginning in the early 1980s.
