Advances in Statistics and Applied Probability:Unified Approaches.

This symposium, in honor of Ben Kedem, is an opportunity for his students, colleagues, and other researchers to gather and share cross-disciplinary techniques that can have a profound effect on the future of data analysis.

Dr. Kedem's research has been recognized by many awards, including an award from the Armament Development Authority, Israel (1984); the 1988 IEEE Baker Award for the most outstanding paper ("Spectral Analysis and Discrimination by Zero Crossings," Proceedings of the IEEE, 1986); a NASA/Goddard Exceptional Achievement Award for his work related to the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (1997); and an IBM Faculty Award (2006).

He is a Fellow of the American Statistical Association. Professor Kedem has published 70 journal articles in statistics, engineering, and scientific journals, as well as 21 articles in proceedings of symposia, conferences, and book chapters.

In addition, he has published three widely used books on time series analysis: Binary Times Series (1980), Time Series Analysis by Higher Order Crossings (1994) and Regression Models for Time Series Analysis (2002).
