In Memoriam: David Freedman
One of the founding editors of The International Journal of Biostatistics, David
Freedman, died on October 17 of bone cancer at the age of 70. David made major
and fundamental contributions to the fields of probability theory, mathematical
and applied statistics, and to the teaching of statistics. He also had a broad
impact on the application of statistics to important medical, social, legal and
public policy issues, including clinical trials, epidemiologic studies, economic
models, interpretation of scientific experiments, statistical evidence in the
courtroom, and adjustments to the census.
