Abstract:
|
Bruce Lindsay's approach to many problems in inference was very geometrical. This gave him great insight into the structure of models, although it was sometimes hard for the rest of us to keep up. In this talk I will consider a few of his many contributions to the theory of likelihood inference, with a view to highlighting how his insight into geometry informed the work that followed.
