Yes, Shriver was largely responsible for the AIMs work (with others), but DNAP have the patent on the AIMs! Funny old world isn't it? As we saw from the earlier post about Shriver's agreement with DNAP, he benefits as well.

As this is my last allowed post today, let me add this:

Rated one of the top ten scientists of modern India and a living legend in Statics, Professor C.R. Rao is considered as one of the five outstanding workers in the field of Mathematical Statistics. There is virtually no enriched by him. Several fundamental results and theorems now bear his name; e.g.. Cramar Rao inequality, Rao-Blackwell theorem, Fisher-Rao theorem, Scheffe-Lehmann-Rao theorem, Rao's score test, Rao's U test, Rao's Quadratic entropy, Rao's g-invess, Hamming-Rao bound etc. Rao has authored about 300 research papers and 13 books of which his "Lincan Statistical Inference and its application" is a classic one and is translated into five foreign languages and adopted in those countries.

Coming under the influence of Mahalanobis and Fisher early on, Rao's career was intimately linked with the Indian Statistical Institute, first as a Researcher, later as Professor and finally as its Director, eventually giving it an international eminence that is unparalleled in India. Today he occupies the prestigious Eberly chair in Statistics at the Pennsylvania State University at State College, Pennsylvania.

Prof. Rao is the recipient of several honours and awards. Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar Award, Sir Guy Silver Medal, Meghnad Saha Medal, JC Bose Gold Medal, SS Willk's Medal and PC Mahalanobis Birth Century Gold Medal.

He is the founder fellow of Third World Academy of Sciences and has the rare honour of being elected Fellow of three national scientific bodies - Indian national Academy of Sciences U.S.A. He has been honoured with three Fastschrift volumes on his 60th, 70th and 75th birthdays.

His contributions to human genetics and physical anthropology can be traced to the multivariate methods he devised for analysis of the Bengal Anthropometric Survey, the recent generalised Genetic diversity measures and to his two illustrious students Ranajit Chakraborty and D.C. Rao.
