Theodore
W. Anderson
Professor of
Economics and Statistics (Emeritus)
Ph.D., M.A.
Princeton University; B.S. Northwestern University.
Theodore W. Anderson Professor of Economics and Statistics
(Emeritus) at Stanford University (USA). Ted turned 90 in
June, 2008. To celebrate this milestone, the Departments of
Statistics and Economics organized a special conference in
his honor. Kenneth Arrow, 1972 Nobel Laureate in Economics,
gave an overview of the early developments in econometrics
in his talk, "Some Reminiscences of Econometrics in the
1940s", and profiled Ted's contribution to econometrics.
Professor T. W. Andersen is well known for his brilliant woks
in Multivariate Analysis and Time Series

Richard E.
Barlow
Professor Emeritus
Ph.D. Stanford University, 1961
Mathematical Statistics
Professor Richard E. Barlow is famous for his pioneering
research in reliability theory. He is the author of several
important books and numerous leading articles in reliability
theory and Bayesian reliability. His "Mathematical Theory of
Reliability", co-authored with Frank Proschan, which was
published originally by Wiley in 1965 was reprinted as one
of the SIAM Classics in 1996. It was translated into several
languages and was a stimulus to research in reliability
theory worldwide. To honor Professor Barlow's contribution,
his former PhD students and other reliability researchers
worldwide have cooperated in the preparation of this volume.

Vladimir Korolyuk
Academician, Academy of Sciences
of the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic Ukrainian
mathematician, Academician, Academy of Sciences of the
Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic (from 1976,
corresponding member from 1967).
Basic research trends are
calculus of probabilities and mathematical statistics,
numerical mathematics and computer programming. He developed
the method of time-series deflation of deficiencies relying
on boundary layer effect, which appears at the change from
integral, integrodifferential and finite-difference
equations with small parameter to parabolic or elliptical
differential equations. He suggested and developed a new
approach to studying functional of Markovian and semi-Markovian
processes based on inverse of linear operators perturbed on
spectrum.
