Wellner's Talk on the Future Directions of Statistics at the Last JSM

Abstract

I will go over Wellner's slides providing some explanation of the topics, comments on what can we learn from predictions of future directions of research, and comments on and augmentation of his suggested topics. Wellner's presentation of citations of hot topics of the present and the recent past and of a conference on predictions in 1967 are especially interesting.
