Bradley Efron (; born May 24, 1938) is an American statistician.
Efron has been president of the American Statistical Association (2004) and of the Institute of Mathematical Statistics (1987–1988).
He is a past editor (for theory and methods) of the Journal of the American Statistical Association, and he is the founding editor of the Annals of Applied Statistics.
Efron is also the recipient of many awards (see below). Efron is especially known for proposing the bootstrap resampling technique, which has had a major impact in the field of statistics and virtually every area of statistical application.
The bootstrap was one of the first computer-intensive statistical techniques, replacing traditional algebraic derivations with data-based computer simulations.
