Members of the International Statistical Institute Members of the International Statistical Institute a cumulative list for the period 1885 - 2002 krips Members of the International Statistical Institute a cumulative list for the period 1885-2002 a publication to celebrate 150 years of international statistical congresses editor: Gerrit J. Stemerdink © International Statistical Insitute Voorburg, August 2003 Printed with the support of Statistics Norway Foreword It is my great pleasure to say a few brief words at the beginning of this important volume. The ISI has a long and proud history starting from 1885. A scan of the cumulative membership reveals many famous names who have made extremely important contributions to statistics and society. The ISI as an organisation has had a significant influence on international statistics and continues to do so. The ISI remains strong as indi- cated by the increasing numbers attending the biennial sessions. We cannot rest on our laurels. Over our long history there have been many changes in our activities. We must learn from our history and continue to grow and enhance our activities to remain the peak professional organisation for statistics in the future. There is an incredible amount of work involved in putting together this cumulative membership list. I would like to sincerely thank Mr Gerrit Stemerdink for this. He volunteered to search the membership database and archives to obtain the required information. Technology advances will enable us to much more easily build on Gerrit's work and keep the cumulative membership list up to date. I would also like to thank Statistics Norway most sincerely for printing this volume for the ISI membership. Dennis Trewin President, International Statistical Institute May 2003 “There should be an error in every book, so that even a stupid person may consider himself smart.” Could this Chinese proverb serve as a motto for this publication? I would not dare to suggest that I put in some intentional errors in order to satisfy anyone. In an organisation with so many learned members like the ISI, this would be an insult. Nevertheless, I expect that the many errors that I failed to detect will be noticed by one of our members. All such error reports are highly welcome! It was with great enthusiasm that I took up the task of compiling this historical list. During the work this enthusiasm even grew, due to the many kind remarks I received from members who were contacted for providing missing information. Thank you all for that. I hope you will enjoy reading this booklet as much as I enjoyed preparing it. Gerrit J. Stemerdink May 2003 Members of the International Statistical Institute A Cumulative List for the Period 1885-2002 The International Statistical Institute is one of the oldest scientific societies in the world. It was founded in 1885 but before this, beginning in 1853, its precursor was the International Statistical Congresses. At the initiative of the visionary Belgian statistician Adolphe Quetelet, these congresses convened several times, culminating in the founding of the ISI in 1885. For this reason, during the 2003 ISI Session in Berlin we may celebrate 150 years of international statistical co-operation. A second memorable anniversary is the fact that ISI gathers in Berlin exactly 100 years after the first Berlin Session of 1903. For such occasions, a commemorative publication is called for. At the 1985 Centennial Ses- sion in Amsterdam, a booklet was issued with details on all persons who had ever been an ISI member since its foundation in 1885. This ‘blue book’ was received very enthusiastically and many members still cherish it. The Council accepted a proposal to develop an updated version of this publication and Mr. Gerrit Stemerdink volunteered to search the membership database and the archives in order to obtain the information needed. The ISI Council gratefully ac- knowledges the contribution of Statistics Norway to this project by providing their printing fa- cilities.

  • Two Principles of Evidence and Their Implications for the Philosophy of Scientific Method
    TWO PRINCIPLES OF EVIDENCE AND THEIR IMPLICATIONS FOR THE PHILOSOPHY OF SCIENTIFIC METHOD by Gregory Stephen Gandenberger BA, Philosophy, Washington University in St. Louis, 2009 MA, Statistics, University of Pittsburgh, 2014 Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of the Kenneth P. Dietrich School of Arts and Sciences in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Pittsburgh 2015 UNIVERSITY OF PITTSBURGH KENNETH P. DIETRICH SCHOOL OF ARTS AND SCIENCES This dissertation was presented by Gregory Stephen Gandenberger It was defended on April 14, 2015 and approved by Edouard Machery, Pittsburgh, Dietrich School of Arts and Sciences Satish Iyengar, Pittsburgh, Dietrich School of Arts and Sciences John Norton, Pittsburgh, Dietrich School of Arts and Sciences Teddy Seidenfeld, Carnegie Mellon University, Dietrich College of Humanities & Social Sciences James Woodward, Pittsburgh, Dietrich School of Arts and Sciences Dissertation Director: Edouard Machery, Pittsburgh, Dietrich School of Arts and Sciences ii Copyright © by Gregory Stephen Gandenberger 2015 iii TWO PRINCIPLES OF EVIDENCE AND THEIR IMPLICATIONS FOR THE PHILOSOPHY OF SCIENTIFIC METHOD Gregory Stephen Gandenberger, PhD University of Pittsburgh, 2015 The notion of evidence is of great importance, but there are substantial disagreements about how it should be understood. One major locus of disagreement is the Likelihood Principle, which says roughly that an observation supports a hypothesis to the extent that the hy- pothesis predicts it. The Likelihood Principle is supported by axiomatic arguments, but the frequentist methods that are most commonly used in science violate it. This dissertation advances debates about the Likelihood Principle, its near-corollary the Law of Likelihood, and related questions about statistical practice.

Eriksen, Tore Jørgen Hanisch1, Arild Sæther The Rise and Fall of the Oslo School2 Abstract In 1931 Ragnar Frisch became professor at the University of Oslo. By way of his research, a new study programme and new staff he created the ”Oslo School”, characterised by mathematical modelling, econometrics, economic planning and scepticism towards the market economy. Consequently, detailed state economic planning and governance dominated Norwegian economic policy for three decades after WWII. In the 1970s the School’s dominance came to an end when the belief in competitive markets gained a foothold and the economy had poor performance. As a result a decentralized market economy was reintroduced. However, mathematical modelling and econometrics remain in the core of most economic programmes. JEL classification: B23, B29,B31, B59, O21, P41, P51 1. Introduction The main purpose of this presentation is to tell the story of how Ragnar Frisch founded the so-called Oslo School in economics, and secondly, to outline the main features of this School and investigate its major influence on the Norwegian post-war economy.

    A Great Revolution in Economics –Vienna 1871 and after Austrian economic thought: its evolution and its contribution to consumer behavior Lazaros Th. Houmanidis Auke R. Leen A great REVOLUTION In economics —VIENNA 1871 and after AUSTRIAN ECONOMIC THOUGHT: ITS EVOLUTION AND ITS CONTRIBUTION TO CONSUMER BEHAVIOR Lazaros Th. Houmanidis Auke R. Leen The letter type on the cover is of Arnold Böcklin (Basel 1827-1901 Fiesole). It is a typical example of the Art Nouveau (Jugendstil) style—the fashionable style of art in Vienna at the end of the 19th century (the time older Austrianism came in full swing). In a sense, Böcklin’s work represents the essence of Austrianism: “Never was he interested in the accidental; he wanted the everlasting”. Cereales Foundation, publisher Wageningen University P.O.

After a time of trying to save the objective value theory the time was there for a new awakening of economic thought. In Vienna, for the first time by the 1871 publication of Menger’s Grundsätze, value become subjective, and the market a process with a sovereign consumer. This book is about this awakening that proved to be more than a plaisanterie viennoise.
