The local chapter of the American Statistical Association (ASA) hosted a Spring Social on Friday, April 29, 2016. Two of our OPHIE Biostatisticians, Chief Biostatistician Kyra Morgan and Facility Biostatistician Yucui Liu, are members of the local ASA chapter; the chapter’s objectives are to promote statistics and its applications and to increase the contributions of statistics to human welfare. Part of the Spring Social included a talk given by Dr. Javier Rojo, the Chair of the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at the University of Nevada, Reno. Dr. Rojo discussed the history of statistics and highlighted many contributors to the field. It’s a little known fact that the field of statistics is relatively young, but it is growing rapidly.
Because the field is so young, Dr. Rojo was able to study under many of the big names in statistics, including his advisor being Erich Lehmann. Erich Lehmann studied directly under Jerzy Neyman who has made many famous contributions to the field, such as the Neyman-Pearson Lemma. The Neyman-Pearson Lemma plays a large role in the field of hypothesis testing. OPHIE’s Chief Biostatistician, Kyra Morgan, was able to take one of the most fundamental statistics courses from Dr. Rojo.
