Ross Prentice's work has had the most profound impact on the theory and practice of statistics. His research interests range from survival analysis, longitudinal data analysis, epidemiologic designs and analysis, to genomic studies. His contributions are so broad and so deep that it would be impossible to provide a comprehensive review in any limited amount of space. In this commentary, I will attempt to give a brief tour of some of his statistical work, focusing on ten of my favorite papers of his. I will describe the main ideas in those papers and their influence on the directions of statistical research and on the designs and analysis of medical studies. I will mention a few stories along the way.
罗斯·普伦蒂斯的工作对统计学的理论和实践产生了最为深远的影响。他的研究兴趣涵盖生存分析、纵向数据分析、流行病学设计与分析以及基因组研究。他的贡献既广泛又深刻，以至于在任何有限篇幅内都不可能进行全面综述。在这篇评论中，我将尝试简要介绍他的一些统计学工作，重点关注他的十篇我最喜欢的论文。我将描述这些论文中的主要观点，以及它们对统计研究方向和医学研究设计与分析的影响。在此过程中，我还会提及一些相关故事。
