This review is from: Stochastic Processes: A Festschrift in Honour of Gopinath Kallianpur (Hardcover)
Gopinath Kallianpur got his Ph.D. in 1951 from the University of North Carolina where he learned probability and statistics from the prominent researchers of the time including Harold Hotelling, R.C. Bose, S.N. Roy, Wassily Hoeffding and Herbert Robbins. After graduation he went back to India where he joined the Indian Statistical Institute in Calcutta. Kallianpur came to the US in 1956 to continue work he had started with Norbert Wiener. During the 1960s 1970s he worked on prediction and filtering theory at Michigan State University, Indiana University and the University of Minnesota. In 1976 he returned to India for three years as Director of the ISI. In 1979 he returned to the US and took a position in the Department of Statistics at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. His North Carolina colleagues, Cambanis and Sen, organized and edited this Festschrift for him. It contains 41 papers that were all refereed. These papers comprise the latest research work in stochastic processes by prominent researhers. The volume was published in 1993. One paper by Fernique is written in French. All the rest are in English. A five page biography on Kallianpur along with a list of his publications precedes the technical articles.
