Indian-American statistician Calyampudi Radhakrishna Rao has been awarded the 2023 International Prize in Statistics often referred to as the Nobel Prize of Statistics.<\/span><\/p>\n

What is the International Prize in Statistics?<\/b><\/h2>\n

The International Prize in Statistics is awarded every two years by a collaboration among five leading international statistics organizations.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The prize recognizes a major achievement by an individual or team in the statistics field, particularly the achievement of powerful and original ideas that have led to practical applications and breakthroughs in other disciplines.<\/span><\/p>\n

Why was C R Rao awarded the International Prize in Statistics?<\/b><\/h2>\n

He was awarded for his groundbreaking paper, \u2018Information and accuracy attainable in the estimation of statistical parameters\u2019 published in 1945. It demonstrated three fundamental results that paved the way for the modern field of statistics:<\/span><\/p>\n

Cram\u00e9r-Rao lower bound:<\/b> It provides a means for knowing when a method for estimating a quantity is as good as any method can be.<\/span><\/p>\n

Rao-Blackwell Theorem:<\/b> It provides a means for transforming an estimate into a better\u2014in fact, an optimal\u2014estimate.<\/span><\/p>\n

Information geometry:<\/b> It integrated principles from differential geometry into statistics, including the concepts of metric, distance, and measure.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2013 Note:<\/b> Information geometry has recently been used to aid the understanding and optimization of Higgs boson measurements at the Large Hadron Collider, the world\u2019s largest and most powerful particle accelerator.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
