Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to propose a Special Issue in honor of Stanford Professor Emeritus Bradley Efron.
Professor Efron’s contributions to the field of statistics have revolutionized approaches to statistical inference and data analysis and have made critical scientific insights possible. Among his numerous honors, he was awarded the prestigious National Medal of Science (2005), the Guy Medal in Gold by the Royal Statistical Society (2014), and the International Prize in Statistics (2018). He has also served as Editor of Journal of the American Statistical Association, founded and was Editor-in-Chief of The Annals of Applied Statistics, and was President of the Institute of Mathematical Statistics (1987–1988) and of the American Statistical Association (2004) (Available online: https://efron.ckirby.su.domains/).
This Special Issue, in honor of Professor Bradley Efron, welcomes both manuscripts describing original work and review articles. The Guest Editors invite submissions that focus on areas in which he has worked, including bootstrap, empirical Bayes, large-scale inference, exponential families, and clinical trials. Articles that relate to Professor Efron’s other research interests will also be considered.
Prof. Dr. Karen Kafadar
Guest Editor
