International Statistical Review, 2021, vol. 89, issue 2, 216-236

Abstract: In this article, the authors provide a glimpse into the legendary career of centenarian Professor C. Radhakrishna Rao, a career that is inextricably linked to the history of modern statistics from Pearson and Fisher to the age of big data and Artificial Intelligence. A scientist of extraordinary vision, his ground‐breaking contributions have influenced not only the field of statistics, but the mathematical, social, biological and economic sciences. An outstanding researcher, a gifted and inspirational teacher who could make complex concepts come to life in a classroom and a mentor who demanded excellence from his students, Professor Rao continues to inspire generations of statisticians and scientists around the world.
