     The B5 Club (套娃五兄弟)


    Finally, just for fun, there are 5 prestigious journals in statistics and related areas starting with the B letter including Bernoulli, Bioinformatics, Biometrics, Biometrika, and Biostatistics. From one perspective, these 5 journals cover all aspects ranging from probability, statistics to biostatistics. From another perspective, these 5 journals cover all aspects ranging from theory, methodology to application.

    I now name them as "The B5 Club". To the best of my limited knowledge, there are only 9 statisticians in the world eligible for this club (i.e., who has published articles in all these journals) as follows.

    1.   Mark van der Laan, University of California at Berkeley, eligible in 2002
    2.   Jian Huang, Hong Kong Polytechnic University, eligible in 2010  (VIP Number: B5-N2)
    3.   Hans-Georg Müller, University of California at Davis, eligible in 2010
    4.   Zhiliang Ying, Columbia University, eligible in 2013
    5.   Tiejun Tong, Hong Kong Baptist University, eligible in 2015  (VIP Number: B5-N5)
    6.   Jianhua Huang, Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shenzhen, eligible in 2015
    7.   Ying Wei, Columbia University, eligible in 2017
    8.   David B. Dunson, Duke University, eligible in 2019
    9.   Hua Liang, George Washington University, eligible in 2020  (VIP Number: B5-N9)

    In case I missed you (it is very likely as some top researchers do not have a Google Scholar profile) or if you are recently qualified, please do drop me a message. I would love to warmly invite you to visit Hong Kong Baptist University, provide you with a club VIP number, and treat you to a seafood dinner in Sai Kung.
