It’s a tribute. A celebration. A mathematical melody, if you will. 🎶 Numbers, directions, and dimensions are taking center stage — and at the heart of it all is a towering figure in statistics, Professor Ashis SenGupta.But first, let's talk about the book in our spotlight:📘 "Directional and Multivariate Statistics: A Volume in Honour of Ashis SenGupta"🗓️ Published on May 5, 2025🏢 By none other than Springer NatureThis isn’t just a collection of scholarly chapters. It’s a mosaic of global collaboration, cutting-edge statistical methods, and heartfelt admiration for a man who revolutionized the study of directional data and multivariate inference.👨‍🏫 Professor SenGupta’s journey is nothing short of legendary. From leaving ISI Kolkata as a teen to returning years later as a statistical beacon, his path has crisscrossed continents, disciplines, and decades. He's guided students across India, Türkiye, the US — lighting torches of knowledge in the minds of the next generation. 🔥🌍 He’s been a citizen ambassador, a karaoke enthusiast, a geometric detective, and the founding father of modern directional statistics in India. Over 125 publications. Seventeen Ph.D. students. Countless collaborators. And yet, ask him, and he’ll tell you the sparkle in a student's eyes is what drives him. ✨The editors of this volume — Somesh Kumar, Barry C. Arnold, Kunio Shimizu, and Arnab Kumar Laha — are themselves statistical titans. From IIT Kharagpur to UC Riverside to Keio University and IIM Ahmedabad, these scholars have poured their hearts into this volume. Together, they paint a portrait of SenGupta that is both technically profound and deeply personal.So what’s in the book? 📖 From circular regression to genomic data analysis, from bootstrap tests to machine learning on manifolds, this volume stretches the imagination and deepens our appreciation for the subtle art of statistical inquiry. It’s a playground of models, methods, and multidimensional thinking.But here's the real question...🔍💭 How do we measure the true impact of a scholar — not just through theorems or citations — but through the lives they inspire and the intellectual paths they illuminate?Before we sign off, a massive thank you to all the authors who contributed their time, talent, and passion to this remarkable book.📢 If you enjoyed this episode, don’t forget to subscribe to Revise and Resubmit on Spotify and Apple Podcasts.🎥 And check out our video breakdowns on the Weekend Researcher YouTube channel.🎵 We're also streaming on Amazon Prime Music, so wherever you listen — we’re there with you.Until next time — keep questioning, keep reading, and remember: every great insight begins with a little curiosity. 🤓💡🧭📊 Stay statistical, my friends!ReferenceKumar, S., Arnold, B.
