Author Information

Kunio Takezawa is senior research scientist at the National Agricultural Research Center of Japan and an associate professor in the Graduate School of Life and Environmental Sciences at the University of Tsukuba. He received B.A. and M.A. degrees in applied physics from Nagoya University and a Ph.D. in agricultural science from the University of Tokyo. Dr.Takezawa has served as a researcher at the National Institute of Agro-Environmental Sciences and as a senior researcher at the Hokuriku Agricultural Experiment Station. He and H. Omori (Tokyo University) translated Jeffrey S. Simonoff’s Smoothing Methodsin Statistics (Springer, 1996), which was published as Heikatsuka to nonparametric kaiki heno syotai by Norintokei-kyokaiin 1999 as the first Japanese textbook on nonparametric regression. He was recognized with awards from the Japan Science and Technology Agency in 1997 and the Japanese Agricultural Systems Society in 2002. Dr. Takezawa holds several patents for his inventions.
