At which institute was this scientist and mathematician who developed V-statistic a professor?
V-statistic V-statistics are a class of statistics named for Richard von Mises who developed their asymptotic distribution theory in a fundamental paper in 1947. V-statistics are closely related to U-statistics (U for "unbiased") introduced by Wassily Hoeffding in 1948. A V-statistic is a statistical function (of a sample) defined by a particular statistical functional of a probability distribution.
