Event: Hermann Otto Hirschfeld Lecture (HOH) 2019
08.11.2019 The HOH Lecture 2019 took place on November 6 and 8, 2019. Charles F. Manski presented his work on "Patient Care under Uncertainty". The lectures draw on Manski's new book on the subject (https://press.princeton.edu/titles/30223.html) and on associated research articles.
The Lecture Series is named after the remarkable German-American statistician Hermann Otto Hartley (known as HOH). Born H.O. Hirschfeld, he completed his PhD in mathematics at Humboldt-Universität in 1934. Shortly thereafter, HOH, who was of Jewish descent, emigrated to England where he also changed his name a few years later. The Hermann Otto Hirschfeld Lectures at Humboldt-Universität are given since 2003 in memory of an excellent scientist and an advocate of quantitative methods.
