Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study William Feller is best known for:

Statistics
Mathematical analysis
Kolmogorov–Smirnov test

In his study, Dentistry is strongly linked to Calculus (dental), which falls under the umbrella field of Orthodontics. Dentistry connects with themes related to Calculus (dental) in his study. William Feller is involved in relevant fields of research such as Limit (mathematics) and Distribution (mathematics) in the domain of Mathematical analysis. William Feller connects Distribution (mathematics) with Mathematical analysis in his study. William Feller integrates many fields, such as Mathematical economics and Econometrics, in his works. William Feller incorporates Econometrics and Mathematical economics in his studies. William Feller integrates Statistics and Probability theory in his research. His Class (philosophy) study frequently draws connections between related disciplines such as Artificial intelligence. His Artificial intelligence study frequently draws connections between adjacent fields such as Class (philosophy).

His most cited work include:

An Introduction to Probability Theory and its Application, Vol. II. (204 citations)
On a General Class of "Contagious" Distributions (159 citations)
On the Kolmogorov-Smirnov Limit Theorems for Empirical Distributions (149 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date

Mathematical analysis is intertwined with Limit (mathematics), Pure mathematics and Applied mathematics in his research. He integrates several fields in his works, including Pure mathematics and Mathematical analysis. In his works, William Feller conducts interdisciplinary research on Applied mathematics and Statistics. By researching both Statistics and Random variable, William Feller produces research that crosses academic boundaries. Logarithm is the topic of his studies on Law of the iterated logarithm and Iterated logarithm. His study in Logarithm extends to Law of the iterated logarithm with its themes. Many of his studies on Calculus (dental) apply to Dentistry as well. His Calculus (dental) research extends to the thematically linked field of Dentistry. William Feller combines topics linked to Series (stratigraphy) with his work on Paleontology.

William Feller most often published in these fields:

Mathematical analysis (47.37%)
Statistics (36.84%)
Mathematical economics (31.58%)
