John Miller - 1946-2024

As many of you may already know, the Department of Statistics, George Mason University, is sorry to report that Associate Professor Emeritus John Miller, 78, died unexpectedly on August 7, 2024.  An expert in multivariate analysis, he taught at Rutgers and George Mason, retiring in 2016.  John grew up in Utica, New York, and studied at the University of Rochester and Stanford University.  At Stanford, he received a PhD in Statistics under T. W. Anderson. His early research was on new interpretations of regression analysis; later he worked on handwriting forensics with the National Institute of Justice.

A memorial "open house" will be held on Monday, September 16, 2024, at 1 pm at the Laurel Hill Golf Club in Lorton. It is a "stop by and share a memory" event serving John's favorite golf lunch of hot dogs and Snickers (plus some healthier items)! Laurel Hill Golf Club is on 8701 Laurel Crest Drive, Lorton, across from South County High School. Please feel free to leave a tribute or share a memory on his webpage: Fairfax Memorial Funeral Home - John Miller<https://tributearchive.com/obituaries/32651089/john-james-miller/fairfax/virginia/fairfax-memorial-funeral-home>
