Abstract

Professor Sujit Kumar Mitra was a luminary in the world of statistics and linear algebra. The clarity and brilliance of his results and proofs have been seldom matched. I will attempt an appreciative reflection on his work through examples on asymptotics of the contingency chi-square, characterization of the Wishart distribution, MINQUE theory, matrices and the g-inverse. The talk will be at the graduate student level.

Coffee,fruit and cake will be provided at 3:15pm.
