User:Kruskal

My name is Joseph B. Kruskal. I live at 42 Oakland Road, Maplewood, New Jersey, USA. My email address is JKruskal@comcast.net

As I write this, I am 80 years old. I was born on January 29, 1928, in New York City.

I am a retired mathematician. I have published a substantial body of papers in peer-reviewed journals in mathematics, statistics, and psychometrics. If you look for my papers in Google Scholar, you are likely to run across papers published by my fourth cousin, once removed, Jonathan B. Kruskal, a professor in the Harvard Medical School. However, as far as I know, all his papers are published in the one of the 7 categories to which a search can be restricted, namely, "Medicine, Pharmacology, and Veterinary Science". My name appears only on one very minor paper in this category.

I am the youngest of 5 children. My siblings, in age order, are William H. Kruskal, Molly L. Kruskal Kahn, Rosaly Kruskal Evnine, and Martin David Kruskal. As I write this, only Rosaly is still alive.
