Calyampudi Radhakrishna Rao (or simply Dr. Rao, as he is universally known to his students and colleagues) who attended the age of 100 on September 10, 2020, is a living legend in Statistics: His work has influenced not only has influenced the field of statistics, but also has had a profound impact on numerous other areas, such as economics, engineering, agriculture, anthropology, biometry, demography, psychology, geology, and medicine. In this article, along with some of his pioneering work, we trace a few the events of his memorable long life. • Jayadeva. 12th Century, Gita Govinda. • Rao, C. R. (1945).

Calyampudi Radhakrishna Rao, a well-known Indian-American mathematician and statistician, will receive the 2023 International Prize in Statistics, the field's equivalent of the Nobel Prize. CR Rao made significant contributions in the field of statistics and its applications in various areas, including medical research. “In awarding this prize, we celebrate the monumental work by CR Rao that not only revolutionized statistical thinking in its time but also continues to exert enormous influence on human understanding of science across a wide spectrum of disciplines,” said Guy Nason, chair of the International Prize in Statistics Foundation. The Large Hadron Collider, the biggest and most potent particle accelerator in the world, has recently employed information geometry to help explain and optimise Higgs boson observations. Recent research on radars and antennas has also found use for it, and it has made major contributions to the fields of artificial intelligence, data science, signal processing, shape categorization, and image segregation. CR Rao education, profession and various accolades Rao was born in Hadagali, Karnataka, to a Telugu family. He completed his school education in Andhra Pradesh. Rao's first jobs were in Cambridge at the Anthropological Museum and the Indian Statistical Institute. He held a number of significant positions, including those of director of the Indian Statistical Institute, Jawaharlal Nehru Professor and National Professor in India, Univers...

Sreenivas Rao Jammalamadaka is a distinguished professor in U.C. Santa Barbara’s Department of Statistics and Applied Probability. Krishna Kumar is a management consultant in business analytics and consulting economist. The two wrote letters supporting C.R. Rao’s nomination for the International Prize in Statistics. Episode Description The International Prize in Statistics is one of the most prestigious prizes in the field. Awarded every two years at the ISI World Statistics Congress, it’s designed to recognize a single statistician or a team of statisticians for a significant body of work. This year’s winner is C.R. Rao, professor emeritus at Pennsylvania State University and Research Professor at the University at Buffalo. Rao’s created and been honored for a number of contributions to the statistical world in his over 75-year career. That’s the focus of this episode of Stats and Stories, with our guests Sreenivas RaoJammalamadaka and Krishna Kumar. +Full Transcript Coming Soon Stats and Stories is a partnership between Miami University’s Departments of Statistics, and Media, Journalism and Film, and the American Statistical Association.

C.R. Rao, a professor whose work more than 75 years ago continues to exert a profound influence on science, has been awarded the 2023 International Prize in Statistics. In his remarkable 1945 paper published in the Bulletin of the Calcutta Mathematical Society, Calyampudi Radhakrishna (C.R.) Rao demonstrated three fundamental results that paved the way for the modern field of statistics and provided statistical tools heavily used in science today. Read more about the prize at

Washington: Calyampudi Radhakrishna Rao, a prominent Indian-American mathematician and statistician, will receive the 2023 International Prize in Statistics, the equivalent to the Nobel Prize in the field, for his monumental work 75 years ago that revolutionised statistical thinking. Mr Rao's work, more than 75 years ago, continues to exert a profound influence on science, the International Prize in Statistics Foundation said in a statement. Mr Rao, who is now 102, will receive the prize, which comes with a USD 80,000 award, this July at the biennial International Statistical Institute World Statistics Congress in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. "In awarding this prize, we celebrate the monumental work by C R Rao that not only revolutionized statistical thinking in its time but also continues to exert enormous influence on human understanding of science across a wide spectrum of disciplines," said Guy Nason, chair of the International Prize in Statistics Foundation. In his remarkable 1945 paper published in the Bulletin of the Calcutta Mathematical Society, Mr Rao demonstrated three fundamental results that paved the way for the modern field of statistics and provided statistical tools heavily used in science today, the Foundation said in a statement on April 1. The first, now known as the Cramer-Rao lower bound, provides a means for knowing when a method for estimating a quantity is as good as any method can be, it said. The second result, named the Rao-Blackwell Theorem (becaus...
