Shanti S. Gupta has made pioneering contributions to ranking and selection theory; in particular, to subset selection theory. His list of publications and the numerous citations his publications have received over the last forty years will amply testify to this fact. Besides ranking and selection, his interests include order statistics and reliability theory. The first editor's association with Shanti Gupta goes back to 1965 when he came to Purdue to do his Ph.D. He has the good fortune of being a student, a colleague and a long-standing collaborator of Shanti Gupta. The second editor's association with Shanti Gupta began in 1978 when he started his research in the area of order statistics. During the past twenty years, he has collaborated with Shanti Gupta on several publications. We both feel that our lives have been enriched by our association with him. He has indeed been a friend, philosopher and guide to us.

A Multiple-decision Approach to the Selection of the Best Set of Predictor Variates

Some 'indifference zone' multiple-decision selection procedure formulations of prediction problems involving multivariate normal populations are considered. These problems are of two types. Part I considers problems involving k bivariate normal populations, where the goal is to select the 'best' population. In this part the 'goodness' of the prediction is measured in terms of three different parameters -- the population conditional variance, the population correlation coefficient, and the absolute value of the population correlation coefficient. Part II considers the problem of selecting the best set of a preassigned number t variates from a set of k predictor variates for predicting a designated variate, the predictand. The 'best' set of predictor variates is defined to be the set of t variates for which the predictand has the smallest population conditional variance (or equivalently the largest population multiple correlation coefficient). Sample size requirements are obtained using asymptotic distribution theory of the transformed statistics.
