THE FIRST ISBA NEWSLETTER, November 1992, with my article Bayesian Statistics, An Overview







                                         FIRST ISBA NEWSLETTER  (edited by myself)

                                          Please scroll down for my article 'Bayesian Statistics, An Overview)

                         Note that Jose Bernardo, as co-president, acknowledges that it was
                         largely due to the efforts of my friend Arnold  Zellner and I that ISBA
                        became a reality in 1992. Indeed I devised the name of the Society, 
                        faced up to some tricky politics with Adrian Smith and Tony O'Hagan, 
                        and wrote the preliminary constitution, Then Gordon Kaufmann
                        registered the organisation with the State of Illinois on behalf of
                        the three of us. Little did I realize how influential the Society would
                        become. I was elected as one of the first, a founding fellows, of ISBA 
                        in late 2012.
