Calyampudi Radhakrishna Rao, affectionately known to the world of statistics as “Dr. Rao,” or simply “CR,” passed away on August 22, 2023, in Buffalo, New York, at the age of 102. His passing ended a notable voyage into statistics, mathematics, and numerous applied sciences as a steward of the visionary ideal of marrying theory, models, data, and methods. Rao was a prominent explorer over a very wide range of statistics.
Among his greatest theoretical discoveries and inventions of methodologies and applications to raw data are the Cramér– Rao inequality, the Rao–Blackwell theorem, the score test, orthogonal arrays, growth curve analyses, the ecological metric, higher-order efficiency, applying generalized inverses in singular linear models, characterization problems, the Rao–Zyskind model of consumer demand, indices of genetic variation and diversity, and analysis of the Bengal anthropometric survey data. Of note, 75 years after their publication, the Cramér–Rao inequality, the Rao–Blackwell theorem, and Rao’s score test are still taught to every first-year graduate student in s
