Abstract:
|
Howard Levene had essentially all of his career at Columbia University as a professor of mathematical statistics and zoology. In statistics, his major interest was in nonparametric inference; in zoology, he taught biometrics and pursued research in genetics, often in collaboration with professors Theodosius Dobzhansky and K. C. Dunn. His PhD was one of the first two granted by the Department of Mathematical Statistics (1947). He immediately became a faculty member and continued until retirement. He bore a considerable responsibility for the success of the department through more than half of its existence. Many of his students are active in departments of statistics, biostatistics, and genetics.
