Early life and education

Born in Toronto, Ontario, Fienberg earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Mathematics and Statistics from the University of Toronto in 1964, a Master of Arts degree in statistics in 1965, and a Ph.D. in statistics in 1968 from Harvard University for research supervised by Frederick Mosteller.[1][7]

Career and research

Fienberg was on the Carnegie Mellon University faculty from 1980 and served as Dean of the Dietrich College of Humanities and Social Sciences.[4][3] He became a U.S. citizen in 1998.

Fienberg was one of the foremost social statisticians in the world, and was well known for his work in log-linear modeling for categorical data, the statistical analysis of network data, and methodology for disclosure limitation. He was also an expert on forensic science, the only statistician to serve on the National Commission on Forensic Science.[8]

He authored more than 400 publications, including six books, advised more than 30 Ph.D. students, and could claim more than 105 descendants in his mathematical genealogy.[1] His publications included books on discrete multivariate analysis[9] categorical data analysis,[4] US census adjustment,[10][11] and forensic science.[12]

He was a founder and editor-in-chief of the Journal of Privacy and Confidentiality.[6][13] and of the Annual Review of Statistics and Its Application.[5]

Awards and honors

Fienberg was an elected member of the National Academy of Sciences,[14] an elected fellow of the Royal Society of Canada, an elected fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences,[15] a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science,[16] a fellow of the American Statistical Association[17] and a fellow of the Institute of Mathematical Statistics.[18]

He was a recipient of the Committee of Presidents of Statistical Societies (COPSS) Presidents' Award in 1982.[19][20] In 2002, Fienberg received the Samuel S. Wilks Award from the American Statistical Association for his distinguished career in statistics.[8] He received the inaugural Statistical Society of Canada's Lise Manchester Award in 2008 in recognition of his application of statistics to problems of public interest.[8] In 2015, he received the Jerome Sacks Award for Cross-Disciplinary Research from the National Institute of Statistical Sciences,[21] and the R. A. Fisher Lectureship from COPSS in 2015.[22] He was awarded the Zellner Medal by the International Society for Bayesian Analysis (ISBA) in 2016.[23]
