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.
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.

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 .
