| Summary |
This festschrift includes papers authored by many collaborators, colleagues, and students of Professor Thomas P. Hettmansperger, who worked in research in nonparametric statistics, rank statistics, robustness, and mixture models during a career that spanned nearly 40 years. It is a broad sample of peer-reviewed, cutting-edge research related to nonparametrics and mixture models. |
