Richard J. Larsen

Statistician at vanderbilt-university, and first author of larsen-marx-mathematical-statistics with morris-marx. Discovered while ingesting that book.

The pair have kept one textbook in print across five editions and 31 years (1981, 1986, 2001, 2006, 2012) — the longest sustained authorship in this corpus, and a different kind of commitment from Keisler’s 24 years of keeping a book free or Hefferon’s open-content practice. Here the continuity runs through a commercial publisher rather than around one.

Not from the ingested source: nothing beyond authorship and affiliation was verified. The book’s title page gives both, and no biography.
