John Chambers (statistician)

John McKinley Chambers is the creator of the S programming language, and core member of the R programming language project. He was awarded the 1998 ACM Software System Award for developing S.[1] He donated his prize money (US$10,000) to the American Statistical Association to endow an award for novel statistical software.[2]

Chambers is a Fellow of the American Statistical Association, the American Association for the Advancement of Science and the Institute of Mathematical Statistics.[3]

He was a Consulting Professor of Statistics at Stanford University.[4] He received a B.Sc. from the University of Toronto and M.A. and Ph.D. degrees in Statistics from Harvard University.[5]
