Ghosh ’ s contribution to statistics : A brief outline
نویسندگان
چکیده
Professor Jayanta Kumar Ghosh has contributed massively to various areas of Statistics over the last five decades. Here, we survey some of his most important contributions. In roughly chronological order, we discuss his major results in the areas of sequential analysis, foundations, asymptotics, and Bayesian inference. It is seen that he progressed from thinking about data points, to thinking about data summarization, to the limiting cases of data summarization in as they relate to parameter estimation, and then to more general aspects of modeling including prior and model selection.

This paper is a primary outline of the main contours of this phenomenon, ...
متن کاملA Comparative Study of Three Paradigms for ObjectRecognition - Bayesian Statistics , Neural Networks
Object recognition, which involves the classiication of objects into one of many a pri-ori known object types, and determining object characteristics such as pose, is a diicult problem. A wide range of approaches have been proposed and applied to this problem with limited success. This paper presents a brief comparative study of methods from three different paradigms for object recognition: Bay...
متن کاملTowards a Strategy for Development of an Enterprise Modelling Tool-set
Enterprise Modelling (EM) tools are an important part of an EM application project. Continuous evolvement of modelling methods therefore requires efficient EM tool support. As a contribution to this, we outline EM itself, and describe possible sources for gathering the requirements for an EM tool-set. A brief outline of a set of requirements is given with respect to possible strategies for meet...
متن کاملReview on Properties of Selenium in Animal Nutrition
The early interest in selenium (Se) focused on its toxicity, but since 1957 it has been recognized as an essential dietary element. The diet is the major Se source and approximately 80% of dietary Se is absorbed, depending on the type of food consumed. In several regions of the world, the content of Se in diets has been estimated as insufficient. The dietary requirement for Se for most species ...
