David James Krus, Professor Emeritus of Statistics, Measurement, and Methodological Studies at Arizona State University, published over 100 scientific articles introducing rotation of canonical components, k-fold cross-validation of multiple regression and canonical analysis, new categories of suppressor variables, new method of 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 Greek, Latin, French, Russian, German, and Chinese. His textbook on Visual Statistics complemented by the Cruise Scientific Visual Statistics Studio are featured on this Internet site. In retirement he translated French poetry, wrote parallel texts Schola Latina Universalis, and L'Ille Mysterieuse, and books Visual Statistics Illustrated,  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.
