Herbert Robbins is widely recognized as one of the most creative
and original mathematical statisticians of our time. The purpose of
this book is to reprint, on the occasion of his seventieth
birthday, some of his most outstanding research. In making
selections for reprinting we have tried to keep in mind three
potential audiences: (1) the historian who would like to know
Robbins' seminal role in stimulating a substantial proportion of
current research in mathematical statistics; (2) the novice who
would like a readable, conceptually oriented introduction to these
subjects; and (3) the expert who would like to have useful
reference material in a single collection. In many cases the needs
of the first two groups can be met simulta neously. A
distinguishing feature of Robbins' research is its daring
originality, which literally creates new specialties for subsequent
generations of statisticians to explore. Often these seminal papers
are also models of exposition serving to introduce the reader, in
the simplest possible context, to ideas that are important for
contemporary research in the field. An example is the paper of
Robbins and Monro which initiated the subject of stochastic
approximation. We have also attempted to provide some useful
guidance to the literature in various subjects by supplying
additional references, particularly to books and survey articles,
with some remarks about important developments in these areas.
