The many friends and colleague of Prof. John Aitchison will be saddened to hear of his death on Dec. 23rd 2016. John was a very influential figure in Statistics, ahead of his time in the development of Bayesian methods and making pioneering contributions in many other areas. For example, he essentially defined the field of compositional data analysis. He was a strong, highly supportive and much appreciated influence on colleagues around the world. He was held in great affection and will be much missed.
John’s funeral will be at Maryhill crematorium in Glasgow (G23 5AA) on 4th January at 1.30 pm.
