Welcome:
Andrew George, Postdoctoral fellow in Statistical Genetics
from the Roslin Institute, Edinburgh, UK under the supervision of Dr. C.
Haley is here to do research with Elizabeth Thompson.
New Faculty:
Mark Handcock, (joint with Stat/Sociology/CSSS).
Peter Hoff, (Stat/CSSS).
Marina Meila, (Stat/CSE).
Martina Morris, (Sociology/Stat).
Alejandro Murua, (Stat).
Kevin Quinn, (Political Science/CSSS).
Matthew Stephens, (Stat).
New Students:
Fadoua Balabdaoui, Ecole des Mines de Paris.
Saonli Basu, Indian Statistical Institute.
Sanjay Chaudhuri, Indian Statistical Institute.
Dana Coe, University of North Florida.
Kevin Connelly, University of Georgia.
Larry Eclipse, University of Washington.
Kara Hedrick, Colorado State University.
Paul Scheet, University of Iowa.
William Stewart, San Francisco State University.

Bing-Tong Zhao, Peking University.
New Publications:
The graduate probability sequence (Stat/Math 521-522-523) being
taught by Galen Shorack will be based on his new text
"Probability for Statisticians" (Springer, 2000). This text has
grown over the years from his previous efforts teaching this course.
Don Percival and Andrew Walden (Imperial College, London) have
a new book out entitled "Wavelet Methods for Time Series
Analysis" published by Cambridge University Press, Cambridge, UK, in
CUP's series on "Statistical and Probabilistic Mathematics".
This book is in part an outgrowth of Statistics 530, (Wavelets: Data
Analysis, Algorithms and Theory), which Don has been teaching regularly
for the past five years. There is a web page for the book at http://staff.washington.edu/dbp/wmtsa.html.
(The Math Library has a copy of the book).
Congratulations:
Daniel Walsh and Beatrix Jones were married July 8th.
Out of Town:
- Cliff Lunneborg
- 9/17-11/30, Open University & Institute of Phych., UK.
- 12/1-12/15, University of Padua, Italy.
