David Draper (born ***, 1952) is an American statistician most widely known for his work of the assessment and propagation of the model uncertainty in 1995. From 2001 to 2007 he served as the founding chair of the Applied Mathematics and Statistics Department at University of California, Santa Cruz, and in 2002 he was President of the International Society for Bayesian Analysis. He has been a private statistical consultant since 1979. His work focuses on helping people solve difficult problems involving uncertainty quantification (statistical inference and prediction) and decision under uncertainty (statistical decision-making).

Biography

David Draper is a Professor of Statistics in the Department of Applied Mathematics and Statistics (in the Baskin School of Engineering) at the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC). He received his Ph.D. in 1981 from the University of California, Berkeley, and has since taught and worked on research projects at the University of Chicago; the RAND Corporation; the University of Washington; the University of California, Los Angeles; the University of Bath (U.K.); the University of Neuchatel (Switzerland); and UCSC. He is a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the American Statistical Association, the Institute of Mathematical Statistics and the Royal Statistical Society. His research concerns methodological developments in Bayesian statistics, with particular emphasis on hierarchical modeling, Bayesian nonparametric methods, model specification and model uncertainty, quality assessment, risk assessment, and applications in the environmental, medical, and social sciences.
