Daniel L. McFadden, 2006 Leigh Lecture Speaker
McFadden is Nobel Laureate 2000, E. Morris Cox Professor of Economics, Director of the Econometrics Laboratory, and Professor of the Graduate School at the University of California, Berkeley.
"The statistical methods Professor McFadden developed have transformed empirical research and are easily applicable. According to the Academy's citation, McFadden's methods are prevalent in modes of transportation, and are used to evaluate changes in communication systems. McFadden's methods were instrumental in the development of the BART, Bay Area Rapid Transit, system, as well as investments in phone service and housing for the elderly." Quote from The Berkeley Daily Planet.
