Herman Chernoff (born July 1, 1923) is an American applied mathematician, statistician and physicist. He was formerly a professor at University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign , Stanford , and MIT , currently emeritus at Harvard University .
Chernoff faces, invented by applied mathematician, statistician and physicist Herman Chernoff in 1973, display multivariate data in the shape of a human face. The individual parts, such as eyes, ears, mouth and nose represent values of the variables by their shape, size, placement and orientation.
The bound is commonly named after Herman Chernoff who described the method in a 1952 paper, [5] though Chernoff himself attributed it to Herman Rubin. [6] In 1938 Harald Cramér had published an almost identical concept now known as Cramér's theorem.
In probability theory, Chernoff's distribution, named after Herman Chernoff, is the probability distribution of the random variable = (()), where W is a "two-sided" Wiener process (or two-sided "Brownian motion") satisfying W(0) = 0.

In 1972, Herman Chernoff wrote an overview of optimal sequential designs, [25] while adaptive designs were surveyed later by S. Zacks. [26] Of course, much work on the optimal design of experiments is related to the theory of optimal decisions, especially the statistical decision theory of Abraham Wald. [27]
Kadane was born in Washington, DC and raised in Freeport on Long Island, Kadane, prepared at Phillips Exeter Academy, earned an A.B. in mathematics from Harvard College and a Ph.D. in statistics from Stanford in 1966, under the supervision of Professor Herman Chernoff. While in graduate school, Kadane worked for the Center for Naval Analyses (CNA).
