About this book
Part B consists of methodological research reported as a short communication, ending with some personal reflections on researchfields associated with Andrei and on his approach to science. The Appendix contains an abbreviated vitae and a list of Andrei’s publications, complete as far as we know.
The contributions in this book are written by Dr. Yakovlev’s collaborators and notable statisticians including former presidents of the Institute of Mathematical Statistics and of the Statistics Section of the AAAS. Dr. Yakovlev’s research appeared in four books and almost 200 scientific papers, in mathematics, statistics, biomathematics and biology journals. Ultimately this book offers a tribute to Dr. Yakovlev’s work and recognizes the legacy of his contributions in the biostatistics community.

About the editors
David Oakes is a Professor of Biostatistics and Statistics at the University of Rochester. He received his Ph.D from London University. His major research interests are in the area of survival analysis, especially models for the effect of explanatory variables on survival and for multivariate survival data. More recent work has largely focused on the models for bivariate survival models generated by unobserved random effects, often called frailties.
W. Jackson “Jack” Hall, Ph.D., was Emeritus Professor of Statistics and Professor in the Department of Biostatistics and Computational Biology at the University of Rochester. He was an international authority on statistical designs for modern clinical trials. Throughout a distinguished career that spanned more than 40 years in Rochester, Dr. Hall made numerous contributions to the field of mathematical statistics.
