Abstract

I published an interview of Leo Breiman in Statistical Science [Olshen (2001)], and also the solution to a problem concerning almost sure convergence of binary tree-structured estimators in regression [Olshen (2007)]. The former summarized much of my thinking about Leo up to five years before his death. I discussed the latter with Leo and dedicated that paper to his memory. Therefore, this note is on other topics. In preparing it I am reminded how much I miss this man of so many talents and interests. I miss him not because I always agreed with him, but instead because his comments about statistics in particular and life in general always elicited my substantial reflection.
