Jacob Wolfowitz (1910-1981) By Rudolph Ahlswede During the last year the world has lost three of its leading statisticians, among them being Jacob Wolfowitz who died on July 16, 1981, in Tampa, FL, after suffering a heart attack. His ideas and inspiration will continue to live in his work and in the hearts and minds of those who knew him. He was born on March 19, 1910, in Warsaw, Poland. He received the B.S. degree from the City College of New York, New York, NY, in 1931, the M.S. degree from Columbia University, New York, NY, in 1933, and the Ph.D. degree from New York University, New York, NY, in 1942. In 1938 Wolfowitz met Abraham Wald at Columbia; thus began a very fruitful and almost unique collaboration which produced some fundamental results in theoretical statistics, particularly in the areas of decision theory and sequential analysis. Unfortunately, this first and seemingly most decisive period in Wolfowitz's research activity ended tragically in 1950 with Wald's untimely death in an airplane crash in India. Shortly thereafter, in 1951, Wolfowitz moved to Cornell University, Ithaca, NY, where he had his 1ongest tenure and perhaps also his most productive period. At Cornell his great love of discussing new ideas and problems resulted in collaboration with several mathematicians and also with his students. Most outstanding of these was J. Kiefer (another of the three statisticians we lost last year, the third being J. Neyman). Besides extending the frontiers opened up by Wald in the areas of decision theory and sequential analysis, Kiefer and Wolfowitz also either pioneered or made important early contributions in new fields such as stochastic approximation, many server queuing systems, and the design of experiments. (An extensive discussion of these contributions can be found in Jacob Wolfowitz: Selected Papers, J. Kiefer Ed. New York: Springer Verlag, 1980.)

He joined Illinois in 1970 and retired in 1978 going to South Florida. Wolfowitz worked on nonparametric statistical inference with Wald . It is in a paper by Wolfowitz in 1942 that the word 'nonparametric' appears for the first time. He also collaborated with Wald on sequential analysis. Information theory, which had been started by Shannon , was another area to which Wolfowitz made important contributions. His book Coding Theorems of Information Theory (3rd ed. 1978) is a classic in the subject.

BIOGRAPHICAL MEMOIRS National Academy of Sciences Jacob Wolfowitz By Shelemyahu Zacks J Up to the sudden death of Abraham Wald (a plane crash while visiting India) in 1950, Wolfowitz collaborated in research mainly with Wald. Starting in 1952 he collaborated with professors Arye Dvoretzky of Hebrew University, Jack Kiefer of Cornell and University of California at Berkeley, and Lionel Weiss of Cornell University. In the 1960s and 1970s Wolfowitz collaborated with R. Ahlswede in his research on coding theory. Lionel Weiss wrote an excellent summary of the research contributions of Wolfowitz, which can be found in the volume Leading Personalities in Statistical Sciences Another more comprehensive summary is given in the collection of Wolfowitz's papers compiled by Jack Kiefer. Wolfowitz contributed in his research to the following areas of statistical theory: nonparametric inference, sequential analysis, statistical decision theory, asymptotic statistical theory, maximum probability estimators, design of experiments, probability theory, queuing and inventory theory, and information theory. I will give here a short nontechnical summary of these accomplishments. Nonparametric statistical inference is an area of estimation or testing hypotheses that does not assume a particular functional form of the distribution of the observed random variables. The nonparametric procedures are also called distribution free. A nonparametric estimator of the distribution function (cdf), F(x), of a random variable, based on n iid random variables X

He was unanimously confirmed by the Senate on Feb. 28th and sworn in March 2, 2001 as the 28th Deputy Secretary of Defense. This is Dr. Wolfowitz's third tour of duty in the Pentagon. Dr. Wolfowitz taught previously at Yale (1970-73) and Johns Hopkins (1981). In 1993, he was the George F. Kennan Professor of National Security Strategy at the National War College. He has written widely on the subject of national strategy and foreign policy and was a member of the advisory boards of the journals Foreign Affairs and National Interest. For the last seven years, Dr. Wolfowitz has served as Dean and Professor of International Relations at the Paul H.

The 1997 Thomas L. Saaty Prize has been awarded to Professor Jorge L. Romeu (State University of New York, Cortland, New York) and (Ege University, Bornova, Izmir, Turkey) for their paper `` A New Graphical Test for Multivariate Normality '', which the judges stated ``provides a practical approach to a common problem'' with ``a new methodology for assessing distributional assumptions of multivariate data, complete with properties and comparisons''. The Prize winning articles both appeared in MSI-2000: Multivariate Statistical Analysis in Honor of Professor Minoru Siotani on his 70th Birthday (ISBN 0-935950-39-7) edited by Takesi Hayakawa (Hitotsubashi University, Japan), Makoto Aoshima (Tokyo Gakugei University, Japan), and Kunio Shimizu (Science University of Tokyo, Japan), and also in Vol. 16 or the American Journal of Mathematical and Management Sciences (ISSN 0196-6324). The Awards Committee consists of distinguished researchers in the mathematical, statistical, and management sciences worldwide. The authors receive a monetary award and suitably engraved certificate. Authors wishing to have their papers published and considered for the Prizes should submit them to one of the Editors: Edward J. Dudewicz (Mathematical Sciences), Z.
