Thisvolumecontains Raymond J.Carroll'sresearch and commentary on its impactby leading statisticians. Each of theseven main partsfocuseson a key researcharea: Measurement Error, Transformation and Weighting, Epidemiology, Nonparametric and Semiparametric Regression for Independent Data, Nonparametric and Semiparametric Regression for Dependent Data, Robustness, and other work. The seven subject areas reviewedin this book were chosen by Ray himself, as were the articles representing eacharea. The commentaries not only review Ray s work, but are alsofilled with historyand anecdotes. Raymond J. Carroll s impact on statistics and numerous other fields of science is far-reaching. His vast catalog of work spansfrom fundamentalcontributions to statistical theory to innovative methodological development andnew insights in disciplinary science. From the outset of his career, rather than takingthe safe route of pursuing incremental advances, Ray has focused on tacklingthe most important challenges. In doing so, it is fair to say that he hasdefined a host of statistics areas, including weighting and transformationin regression, measurement error modeling, quantitative methods for nutritionalepidemiology and non- and semiparametric regression."
