Since obtaining his Ph.D. degree at the age of 22, Peter Bickel’s fifty years of distinguished work spans the revolution of scientific computing and data collection, from vacuum tubes for processing and small experimental data to today’s supercomputing and automated massive data scanning. The evolution of scientific computing and data collection has a profound impact on statistical thinking, methodological developments, and theoretical studies, thus creating evolving frontiers of statistics.

The contributions of Bickel to statistical science are exemplary and unparalleled...One of the most pleasant features of the volume is that it contains commentaries written by the experts, who provide nice summaries of the respective topics...I enjoyed re-reading some of the papers on high-dimensional statistics...The volume is priceless, and contains affluence information. Technometrics 56:1 2014
