Reminiscences of a Statistician: The Company I Kept

Professor Lehmann has known many remarkable statisticians and mathematicians. This book is an autobiographical account of his encounters, following the steps of his own career. Taken together, these sketches provide a very personal picture of the development of statistical theory from the 1930's to the 1970's. It is the period between two revolutions: that of Fisher, Neyman and Pearson, which laid the foundations for the classical statistical theory of that period; and the second revolution, forty years later, brought about by the advent of the computer, which turned statistics in new directions.
