31 March 1934 – 2 July 2020
It was with great sadness that we learned of the death of Willem van Zwet, former President of the International Statistical Institute (1997-1999) who passed away at his home in Oestgeest, The Netherlands, on 2 July 2020.
Willem van Zwet was Professor Emeritus of Mathematical Statistics at the University of Leiden, Member of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences, Knight of the Order of the Netherlands Lion and Member of the Academia Europaea.
Professor Van Zwet was an eminent statistician and an inspiration for many.
Our thoughts are with his family in this difficult time.
