Obituary: Hans-Walter Bandemer (1932-2009)

摘要

Professor Hans-Walter Bandemer died on 15th November 2009, aged 77 in his home-town Halle (Saale). He was one of the most creative statisticians of the former German Democratic Republic (G.D.R.), as well as the reunified Germany. He can be considered as the father of the theory of optimal experimental design for Germany, and later, starting in the 1980s, he was one of the most active and popular promoters of fuzzy set theory in Germany.
