Professor Sujit Kumar Mitra: An Appreciation
Abstract: Professor Sujit Kumar Mitra was a luminary in the world of statistics and linear
algebra. The clarity and brilliance of his results and proofs have been seldom
matched. I will attempt an appreciative reflection on his work through examples
on asymptotics of the contingency chi-square, characterization of the Wishart
distribution, MINQUE theory, matrices and the g-inverse. The talk will be at the
graduate student level.
Coffee,fruit and cake will be provided at 3:15pm.
