Why Is George Seber Influential?
(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, George Arthur Frederick Seber is an Australian-born New Zealand statistician. Since his retirement from academic life, he has worked as a counsellor. Biography Born in Sydney in 1938, Seber emigrated to New Zealand with his family at the end of World War II. He attended the Auckland University College, graduating with an MSc with first-class honours in 1960, and won a Commonwealth scholarship to undertake PhD in statistics at the University of Manchester. Completing his doctorate in 1963, he took up an assistant lectureship in statistics at the London School of Economics.
