Remembering Oscar Kempthorne (1919–2000)

On November 15, 2000 the statistics community was saddened by the death of one of its most prominent members and leaders, Oscar Kempthorne, who had given over 50 years of his life to statistical science as an educator and researcher. Obituaries and other accounts detailing aspects of and achievements during his personal and professional life have appeared elsewhere (IMS Bulletin 30 (2), 2001; Bancroft, 1984; David, 1984). The purpose of this paper is different: it is to highlight his major contributions to statistical science, and to indicate how these ideas are still guiding statistical thinking today. Oscar Kempthorne contributedlargely to three major areas: to experimental design, to genetic statistics, and to the philosophy and foundations of statistics. These seem to be rather distinct areas, but his research shows a common thread in the form of his concern for acquiring scientifically sound data and interpreting such data. In this context he considered the analysis of variance as one of the most powerful statistical techniques, and it is therefore not surprising that much of his research, certainly in experimental design and genetic statistics, centers around this technique. This work established him very early on as one of the leading statisticians of our time.

A Conversation with Oscar Kempthorne

Oscar Kempthorne was born on January 13, 1919, in St. Tudy, Cornwall, England. His schooling was in Cornwall. He received a B.A. with Honors from Cambridge University in 1940, an M.A. from Cambridge in 1943, and was awarded an Sc.D. degree from Cambridge in 1960. He worked at Rothamsted Experiment Station from 1941 to 1946 and joined the Department at Iowa State College as Associate Professor in 1947. He was promoted to Professor in 1951, and was named Distinguished Professor of Science and Humanities in 1964. He was President of the Biometric Society, ENAR, in 1961 and President of the Institute of Mathematical from 1984 to 1985. He is a Fellow of the American Statistical Association, the Institute of Mathematical Statistics, the American Association for the Advancement of Science and an Honorary Fellow of the Royal Statistical Society. He was awarded an honorary Ph.D. degree from the University of Ioannina in Greece. This conversation took place at Dr. Kempthorne's home in Ames, Iowa on March 7, 1994. Folks: Kemp, I have enjoyed watching your ASA videotape From Observation to Inference (ASA archives) and I know about the videotape of your lecture The Adventures of a Cornish Farm Boy in Search of Statistics (Kempthorne personal copy). I am very interested in your university days.

A note on the background to, and refereeing of, R. A. Fisher's 1918 paper 'On the correlation between relatives on the supposition of Mendelian inheritance'.

The controversy between the biometricians W. F. R. Weldon and Karl Pearson on the one hand, and William Bateson and his fellow Mendelian theorists on the other, which came to a head after 1900, the date of the rediscovery of Mendel’s ideas, leaves ripples which have still not entirely died down. We have recently, for example, had brought to our notice a review by Oscar Kempthorne of Volume 1 of the Collected papers of R. A. Fisher , which, very naturally, refers to Fisher’s 1918 paper on ‘The correlation between relatives on the supposition of Mendelian inheritance’, finally published in the Transactions of the Royal Society of Edinburgh.
