Trevor Hastie’s many books and articles are compulsory reading for apprentice data scientists. Hastie was one of the first to grasp the potential of computers for data analysis. He played a key role in the application of modern, computer-intensive statistical methods and it is thanks to him that researchers are increasingly able to tackle ever more complex data issues. For example, he helped to design R, the most widely used free software environment for statistical computing and graphics and the academic gold standard for data analysis in numerous domains. His name is associated with innovative machine learning methods, including ‘generalised additive models’, ‘elastic net’, ‘graphical LASSO’ and ‘principal curves’.
