Klaus Krickeberg
Klaus Krickeberg (born March 1, 1929 in Ludwigslust ) is a German stochastic and statistician .
Life
Klaus Krickeberg is the grandson of Karl Krickeberg . From 1946 he studied mathematics and physics at the Humboldt University in Berlin with a doctorate under Kurt Schröder in 1952 ( on Gaussian and Stokes' integral theorem ). In 1954 he completed his habilitation in Würzburg. From 1955 to 1957 he conducted research at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (with Joseph Doob ) and at the University of Wisconsin-Madison . In 1958 he became a professor at the University of Heidelberg , where he established a center for probability theory, and in 1971 at the University of Bielefeld . 1974 to his retirement in 1998 he was a professor at the University of Paris V .
Krickeberg deals with measure theory (which he heard from Erhard Schmidt ), probability theory, stochastic geometry, geometric statistics, epidemiology (especially tropical diseases) and health information systems.
He dealt with the theory of Martingales and proved the almost certain convergence of constrained Martingales under the Vitali condition . He also introduced the Krickeberg decomposition, according to which every restricted submartingale can be represented as the difference between a positive martingale and a supermartingale.
In 1969 he was the founder of the DFG research focus on Stochastic Mathematical Models (SFB 123).
In Paris, he began to study Vietnamese history and culture and, from 2006, headed public health projects in Laos and Vietnam on behalf of a foundation. He has also worked on similar projects for UNICEF, the EU and GTZ in Vietnam and Cambodia.
He is a member of the Leopoldina and a corresponding member of the Third World Academy of Sciences. From 1977 to 1979 he was President of the Bernoulli Society. In 1968 he became a member (fellow) of the Institute of Mathematical Statistics. In 1990 he received an honorary doctorate from the University of Vienna.
1971 to 1985 he was editor of the Journal of Probability and Related Fields (magazine for probability theory and related fields).
From 1985 to 1989 he was on the Council of the International Statistical Institute (ISI) and from 1987 to 1991 Chairman of the ISI Committee for Statistics in Developing Countries.
