Raghu Raj Bahadur (30 April 1924 – 7 July 1997) was an Indian born mathematical statistician considered by peers to be "one of the architects of the modern theory of mathematical statistics"[1]. He published numerous papers[2] and is best known for the concept of "Bahadur Efficiency"[3].
The Anderson-Bahadur algorithm[4] is used in statistics and engineering for solving binary classification problems when the underlying data have multivariate normal distributions with different covariance matrices. He was elected a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1986.[5]
