Statistical thinking: From Tukey to Vardi and beyond
Larry Shepp
Abstract
Data miners (minors?) and neural networkers tend to eschew modelling, misled perhaps by misinterpretation of strongly expressed views of John Tukey. I discuss Vardi's views of these issues as well as other aspects of Vardi's work in emision tomography and in sampling bias.
