David James Krus, Professor Emeritus of
Statistics, Measurement, and Methodological Studies, published over 100
scientific articles introducing
rotation of canonical
components, k-fold cross-validation of
multiple regression and
k-fold cross-validation of
canonical analysis;
new
categories of
suppressor variables,
new method of
convergent
and discriminant
item analysis,
new matrix algebra operations for
obtaining
skew asymmetric matrices adjacent to ordered graphs
and on study of
logical relationships among variables. Among
his interests was
quantitative history with focus on the
cycles of war.
He was also interested in the
methodology of social sciences,
logical substratum of variance, and
visualization of abstract structures. Among his computer algorithms, the algorithm for continuous updates of basic parameters of the normative databases facilitated development of computerized tests. His algorithm for autocorrelation analysis allowed for abstraction of more precise amplitudes from longitudinal data by minimizing the dampening effects and filtering out stochastic drifts. He wrote a textbook on the assembly language programming and his assembly language routines, complementing Microsoft compilers, are embedded in computer programs including these of the U.S. Navy, the Armco Steel Corporation, and National Aeronautics and Space Administration. English was his second language, among Latin, French, Russian, German, and Chinese. His textbooks Elements of Statistics and Structure of Statistics are complemented by the Cruise Scientific Visual Statistics Studio and featured on this Internet site. In retirement he translated French poetry, wrote parallel texts Schola Latina Universalis, and L'Ille Mysterieuse, and books Elements of Epistemology, Visual Statistics Illustrated, Long Waves of Time, Ethical Canons and Scientific Inquiry, Phenomenological Analysis of Obscured Events, and Decline of the Age of Enlightenment. Professor Krus has taught or done research at universities in California, Minnesota, Arizona, China, Taiwan, Japan, Germany, and France. He was listed in Who's Who in America. |
