This Festschrift is dedicated to Goetz Trenkler on the occasion of
his 65th birthday. As can be seen from the long list of
contributions, Goetz has had and still has an enormous range of
interests, and colleagues to share these interests with. He is a
leading expert in linear models with a particular focus on matrix
algebra in its relation to statistics. He has published in almost
all major statistics and matrix theory journals. His research
activities also include other areas (like nonparametrics,
statistics and sports, combination of forecasts and magic squares,
just to mention afew). Goetz Trenkler was born in Dresden in 1943.
After his school years in East G- many and West-Berlin, he obtained
a Diploma in Mathematics from Free University of Berlin (1970),
where he also discovered his interest in Mathematical Statistics.
In 1973, he completed his Ph.D. with a thesis titled: On a
distance-generating fu- tion of probability measures. He then moved
on to the University of Hannover to become Lecturer and to write a
habilitation-thesis (submitted 1979) on alternatives to the
Ordinary Least Squares estimator in the Linear Regression Model, a
topic that would become his predominant ?eld of research in the
years to come.
