Synopsis

Thecollectedcontributionscontainedwithinthisbookhavebeenwrittenbyfriends andcolleaguestoacknowledgeLudwigFahrmeir swidespreadandimportantimpact onStatisticsasascience, whilecelebratinghis65thBirthday. Asayoungstudent, LudwigstartedhiscareerasaMathematician, buthequickly turnedintoarisingandshiningstarwithintheGermanandinternationalStatistics community. HesoonobtainedbothhisPhDandhisHabilitationattheTechnical UniversityofMunich. AfterashortperiodasavisitingprofessorattheUniversity ofDortmund, hereturnedtohishomelandBavariaandwasappointedFullProfessor ofStatisticsattheUniversityofRegensburg, attheageof32. Someyearslater, hemovedtothecapitalofBavariaandbecameProfessoratthe DepartmentofStatisticsattheUniversityofMunich. Hisappointmenthadsigni?cant impactontheDepartmentsince, soonafterhisarrival, Ludwigstartedaninitiative toestablishacollaborativeresearchcenteronthe StatisticalAnalysisofDiscrete Structures. Afterasuccessfulapplicationforinitialfunding, furtherfundingwas extendedseveraltimes, untiltheresearchcenterreachedthemaximumperiodfor fundingin2006.
