Bradley Efron (born May 24, 1938)〔(Bradley Efron Curriculum Vitae )〕 is an American statistician best known for proposing the bootstrap resampling technique,〔(【引用サイトリンク】Bootstrap Methods: Another Look at the Jackknife )〕 which has had a major impact in the field of statistics and virtually every area of statistical application. The bootstrap was one of the first computer-intensive statistical techniques, replacing traditional algebraic derivations with data-based computer simulations. ==Life and career== Efron was born in St. Paul, Minnesota in May 1938, the son of Russian Jewish immigrants Esther and Miles Efron.〔http://www.ams.org/meetings/national/jmm/2098_intro.html〕 He attended the California Institute of Technology, graduating in Mathematics in 1960. He arrived at Stanford in fall of 1960, earning his Ph.D., under the direction of Rupert Miller and Herb Solomon, in the Department of Statistics. While at Stanford, he was suspended for a year for his involvement with the Stanford Chaparral's parody of Playboy magazine.〔(【引用サイトリンク】Guide to the Hammer and Coffin Society Records, 1906-1987 )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】Bradley Efron )〕 He is currently a Professor of Statistics and Biostatistics at Stanford. At Stanford he has been the Chair of the Department of Statistics, Associate Dean of the School of Humanities and Sciences, Chairman of the University Advisory Board, Chair of the Faculty Senate and Co-director of the undergraduate-level Mathematical & Computational Science Program. Efron holds the Max H. Stein endowed chair as Professor of Humanities and Sciences at Stanford. He has made many important contributions to many areas of statistics. Efron's work has spanned both theoretical and applied topics, including empirical Bayes analysis (with Carl Morris), applications of differential geometry to statistical inference, the analysis of survival data, and inference for microarray gene expression data. He is the author of a classic monograph, ''The Jackknife, the Bootstrap and Other Resampling Plans'' (1982) and has also co-authored (with R. Tibshirani) the text ''An Introduction to the Bootstrap'' (1994). He created a set of nontransitive dice called Efron's dice. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bradley Efron」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
