ABOUT BRADLEY'S WORK
Bradley Efron is a statistician whose work focuses on the problem of assessing the accuracy of complicated statistical procedures.
He works on a combination of theoretical and applied topics, including Bayesian statistics, survival analysis, exponential families, and confidence intervals. Efron is particularly interested in computer-intensive methods that substitutes computation for theoretical analysis. The benefit of this approach is freedom from the classical assumptions of bell-shaped curves and simple models. Efron’s “bootstrap method,” first published in 1979, is a computer-based technique that uses resampling to assess the accuracy of statistical estimates; it is particularly powerful with complex nonparametric problems where analytic methods are cumbersome or unavailable. Capturing the imaginations of theoreticians and applied statisticians, the bootstrap method established a new framework for simulation-based statistical analysis.
BIOGRAPHY
Efron has been at Stanford University since 1960, first as a graduate student and now as a professor of statistics and biostatistics. He is the Max H. Stein Professor of Humanities and Science and is also chairman of the Mathematical and Computational Sciences Program, the University’s interdisciplinary major that combines mathematics, statistics, computer science, and operations research.
Efron received a B.S. (1960) from the California Institute of Technology, and an M.S. (1962) and a Ph.D. (1964) from Stanford University.

关于布拉德利的工作
布拉德利-埃夫隆是一位统计学家,他的工作重点是评估复杂统计程序的准确性问题。
他致力于理论和应用课题的结合,包括贝叶斯统计、生存分析、指数族和置信区间。 埃夫隆对以计算代替理论分析的计算机密集型方法特别感兴趣。 这种方法的好处是可以摆脱钟形曲线和简单模型的经典假设。 Efron的 "自举法",首次发表于1979年,是一种基于计算机的技术,使用重新抽样来评估统计估计的准确性;在分析方法繁琐或不可用的复杂非参数问题上,它特别强大。 自举法抓住了理论家和应用统计学家的想象力,为基于模拟的统计分析建立了一个新框架。
个人简历
艾弗隆从1960年开始在斯坦福大学工作,最初是作为研究生,现在是统计学和生物统计学教授。 他是Max H. Stein人文和科学教授,也是数学和计算科学项目的主席,该大学的跨学科专业结合了数学、统计学、计算机科学和运筹学。
艾弗隆在加州理工学院获得学士学位(1960年),在斯坦福大学获得硕士学位(1962年)和博士学位(1964年)。
