Anirban DasGupta is Professor of Statistics at Purdue University. He is an Associate Editor of the Annals of Statistics, Statistics Surveys, and Metrika. He has also served in the editorial boards of the Journal of American Statistical Association, International Statistical Review, Journal of Statistical Planning and Inference, and Sankhya. He is the author of Springer's Asymptotic Theory of Statistics and Probability and of Fundamentals of Probability, A First Course. He is a Fellow of the Institute of Mathematical Statistics and is the author of 105 articles.

From the reviews:“This book … contains eleven commentaries written by experts in the area of statistical methodology and inference. … I enjoyed re-reading some of the articles with great interest and pleasure. This valuable collection has some nice pieces of statistical and mathematical works, and provides historical developments of some of the important work in respective statistical field. Undoubtedly, this book will be of interest to researchers in probability, statistics, and related fields. The editor did a wonderful job in organizing this volume.” (Technometrics, Vol. 53 (4), November, 2011)
