Foreword
The collected contributions contained within this book have been written by friends and colleagues to acknowledge Ludwig Fahrmeir’s widespread and important impact on Statistics as a science, while celebrating his 65th Birthday. As a young student, Ludwig started his career as a Mathematician, but he quickly turned into a rising and shining star within the German and international Statistics community. He soon obtained both his PhD and his Habilitation at the Technical University of Munich. After a short period as a visiting professor at the University of Dortmund, he returned to his homeland Bavaria and was appointed Full Professor of Statistics at the University of Regensburg, at the age of 32. Some years later, he moved to the capital of Bavaria and became Professor at the Department of Statistics at the University of Munich. His appointment had significant impact on the Department since, soon after his arrival, Ludwig started an initiative to establish a collaborative research center on the “Statistical Analysis of Discrete Structures.” After a successful application for initial funding, further funding was extended several times, until the research center reached the maximum period for funding in 2006. During the complete duration, Ludwig served as a speaker of the research center and – to cite one of the final referee
