Professor Ingram Olkin, NZSA Visiting Lecturer 2010
We are delighted that
Professor Ingram Olkin (Stanford
University) will be the NZSA Visiting Lecturer for 2010. His visit will be associated with
our next conference and the joint International
Conference on Statistical Methodologies and Related
Topics celebrating the contribution of Chin-Diew Lai.
Dr Olkin is an icon in the world statistical
community, having been active for over 60 years.
He is a member of many professional societies, has
received many honours and awards, has held and
holds many editorial positions, and has delivered
numerous invited addresses all over the world.
Ingram has coauthored 7 books, edited 10 books,
and contributed 220 journal papers. His joint paper
with Albert Marshall “A multivariate exponential
distribution” was cited in 610 articles – a testament
to high calibre research.
Dr Olkin’s work is aimed at ensuring that educators
select the proper statistical tools for measuring the
outcomes of their programs and methods, and that
their interpretation of the results is similarly rigorous.
His research includes the development of powerful
new statistical methods for combining results from
independent studies that have analysed the same
topic. Meta-analysis is assisting researchers to
reconsider long-standing educational problems with
a fresh critical eye.
Dr Olkin is a Guggenheim, Fulbright, and Lady
Davis Fellow, with an honorary Doctorate from
De Montfort University. He received his BS in
mathematics at the City College of New York, his
MA from Columbia University, and his PhD from
the University of North Carolina. Dr Olkin’s research
interests include analysis of social and behavioural
models; multivariate statistical analysis; correlational
and regression models in educational processes and
meta-analysis.
Dr Olkin will be visiting NZ universities and
giving seminars. For up-to-date information email g.jones@massey.ac.nz.
