Abstract:

CR Rao’s contributions to statistics are especially impressive in hindsight because so many of them are still relevant today.  A major reason for this relevance is Rao’s focus on “big” ideas, statistical concepts that were important before we had today’s computers but are still applicable after the advent of modern computing.
