正文(英文) | ![]() ![]() Imperial is extremely sad to learn of the passing of Sir David Cox who was a valued member of staff and leader for generations of scientists. A brief obituary appears below. Professor Sir David Cox FRS, Hon FBA, 1924-2022, was arguably the most eminent statistician of the twentieth century. After spells at the Royal Aircraft Establishment and the Wool Research Institute he took an assistant lecturer position in Cambridge on a five-year contract. From there he spent time in the United States, before accepting an offer of a Readership at Birkbeck College in London. He left Birkbeck in 1966 to succeed George Barnard in the Chair of Statistics at Imperial, where he remained until 1988, serving as Head of the Statistics Section and Head of the Department of Mathematics, and leaving to become Warden of Nuffield College, Oxford. He "retired" in 1994, though in fact he continued to produce important and deeply insightful work right up until his death. He was particularly well-known for the support and encouragement he gave to young researchers - indeed, in recent years he continued to collaborate with Dr Heather Battey in the Department. Further announcements have been made by Nuffield College and the Royal Statistical Society.
