| May 8, 2022 at 18:02 | comment | added | Michael Hardy | One not-so-famous mistake was Feller's belief that Bayesian inference could not be used in applied statistics. Nobody can think that now and many who were informed on the subject (as Feller was not) did not think that then. Two other amusing oddities are the way in which he refers to Mark Kac in the index and his acknoledgement to Prof. Dennis Hejhal who had written to him, who (Feller did not realize) was a high-school pupil at the time. (Today Hejhal has for some decades been a professor of mathematics.) | |

Stone | Biggest "mistake" by Feller (in the '60s, not in the '50s) was writing the 2nd edition of "An Introduction to Probability Theory and Its Applications, Vol 2" before writing the 1st edition of Vol3, which supposedly would have been on diffusion processes. The guy ups and dies before Vol 3 ever got written. | |
