Rosemary A. BaileyFRSE (born 1947) is a Britishstatistician who works in thedesign of experiments and theanalysis of variance and in related areas ofcombinatorial design, especially inassociation schemes. She has written books on thedesign of experiments, onassociation schemes, and onlinear models in statistics.
Bailey's first degree and Ph.D. were in mathematics at theUniversity of Oxford. She was awarded her doctorate in 1974 for a dissertation onpermutation groups,Finite Permutation Groups supervised byGraham Higman.[1] Bailey's career has not been in pure mathematics but in statistics where she has specialised in the algebraic problems associated with the design of experiments.
Bailey worked at theUniversity of Edinburgh withDavid Finney and atThe Open University. She spent 1981–91 in the Statistics Department ofRothamsted Experimental Station. In 1991 Bailey became Professor of Mathematical Sciences at Goldsmiths College in the University of London and then Professor of Statistics atQueen Mary, University of London where she is Professor Emerita of Statistics. She is currently Professor of Mathematics and Statistics in the School of Mathematics and Statistics at theUniversity of St Andrews, Scotland.
Bailey is a Fellow of theInstitute of Mathematical Statistics[2] and in 2015 was elected a Fellow of theRoyal Society of Edinburgh.[3]
