Education and career

Chiaromonte earned a laurea in statistics and economist from the Sapienza University of Rome. [2] She completed her Ph.D. in 1996 at the University of Minnesota; her dissertation, A Reduction Paradigm for Multivariate Laws, was supervised by R. Dennis Cook. [3]

She became an assistant professor of statistics at the Pennsylvania State University in 1998. [4]

Recognition

In 2016, Chiaromonte was elected as a Fellow of the American Statistical Association "for outstanding collaborative work in high-throughput biology, contributions to methodology in statistics and bioinformatics, commitment to interdisciplinary research, and leadership in developing training programs at the interface of statistics, computation and the life sciences". She was given the Huck Chair in 2019. [4] She was named to the 2022 class of Fellows of the Institute of Mathematical Statistics, for "outstanding contributions to methodology for the analysis of large, complex and structured data, in particular to the fields of sufficient dimension reduction and envelope model, for outstanding interdisciplinary work in the “Omics” and in the biomedical sciences, and for leadership in interdisciplinary training and mentoring efforts".

Howell Tong is a statistician who has made fundamental contributions to nonlinear time series analysis, semi-parametric statistics, non-parametric statistics, dimension reduction, model selection, likelihood-free statistics and other areas. In the words of Professor Peter Whittle (FRS), ‘The striking feature of Howell Tong’s … is the continuing freshness, boldness and spirit of enquiry which inform them-indeed, proper qualities for an explorer. He stands as the recognised innovator and authority in his subject, while remaining disarmingly direct and enthusiastic .’¹ And his work, in the words of Sir David Cox, ‘links two fascinating fields, nonlinear time series and deterministic dynamical systems.’² He is the father of the threshold time series models, which have extensive applications in ecology, economics, epidemiology and finance. Besides nonlinear time series analysis, he was the co-author of a seminal paper, which he read to the Royal Statistical Society, on dimension reduction in semi-parametric statistics by pioneering the approach based on minimum average variance estimation. He has also made numerous novel contributions to nonparametric statistics, Markov chain modelling, reliability, non-stationary time series analysis and wavelets.
