University . He came to Stern in 1966. He is the author, with Bertram
Price, of Regression Analysis by Example, a successful textbook now in
its second edition. This book has been translated into German and Japanese.
He has also written Sensitivity Analysis in Linear Regression with Ali
S. Hadi. His recent book with two other colleagues from New York University
is A Casebook for a First Course in Statistics and Data Analysis.
His current research interests are in linear models, robust regresssion,
censored-value regression problems. He is actively engaged in trying to
improve the teaching of statistics at schools and universities.
He was a Fulbright Scholar in Kazakhstan at the Kazakhstan Instititute
of Management and Economic Planning. He has worked in the reconstruction
of Official Statistics of the former republics of the Soviet Union. He
has been a visiting professor at Stanford, Sloan School of Mgmt.( MIT),
