Moshe Shaked

Moshe Shaked (February 21, 1945 - October 28, 2014) was an American mathematician and statistician.

He became most celebrated internationally for his collection of influential papers on stochastic order and multivariate dependence.

Shaked’s contribution also includes pioneering studies on stochastic convexity and on multivariate phase-type distributions, with important applications in reliability modelling and queueing analysis.

He made significant contributions to multivariate aging notions and multivariate life distributions, as well as to accelerated life tests (inference, non-parametric approach and goodness of fit).

Moshe Shaked was born in Jerusalem to a Polish immigrant family.
