Biography

Judge was born on a farm in Kentucky in 1925, and during World War II served on Saipan Island flying B-29 missions over Japan. After the war he attended the University of Kentucky, earning his bachelor's degree in Agricultural Economics in 1948.[2] Judge went on to earn his PhD in economics and statistics from Iowa State University, and became an Assistant Professor at the University of Connecticut in 1951; a full Professor at Oklahoma State University in 1955; and (after a visit at Yale) moved to the University of Illinois, where he remained until 1986, when he moved to the Department of Agricultural and Resource Economics at the University of California, Berkeley,[2] where he remains active to this day.

Contributions

Judge has published over 150 articles in research journals. His work has spanned many research questions in econometrics, including the estimation of parameters for a Markov probability model from time series data; inference from spatial and temporal price and allocation models; and application of information theory to recover systematic behavior from noisy data. Judge has written a number of foundational textbooks in econometrics that have been widely used by graduate students in econometrics since the 1970s.[3][4]

gollark: I originally tried `load` with an env table for the sandbox, but that failed horribly for some reason. Basically, while functions I explicitly redefined were fine, anything depending on them kept the old values somehow.
gollark: That kind of makes sense. Is there a way around that other than pcalling it?
gollark: Well, it's better than potatOS's current sandbox... probably.
gollark: `setfenv cannot change environment of given object` - what?
gollark: The best thing about ROT13 is that it can scale easily to advancing hardware.
