Short description: American statistician

Miriam (Miki) Gasko Donoho (also published as Miriam Gasko-Green) is an American statistician whose research topics have included data visualization,[A][1] equivalences between binary regression and survival analysis,[B][2] and robust regression.[C][3]

Education and career

Gasko completed her Ph.D. in statistics at Harvard University in 1981.[4] Her dissertation was Testing Sequentially Selected Outliers from Linear Models.[5] She became a professor of marketing and quantitative studies in the College of Business at San Jose State University,[6] director of the Silicon Valley Consumer Confidence Survey,[7] and treasurer of the Institute of Mathematical Statistics.[6]

Recognition

She is a Fellow of the Institute of Mathematical Statistics.[8] MacSpin, a program for three-dimensional data visualization that she developed with her husband David Donoho and brother-in-law Andrew Donoho, was named as the best scientific/engineering software of 1987 by MacUser magazine.[9]
