title: Some of Sam Greenhouse's contributions to statistical methods.

These examples illustrate Sam's ability to identify problems of practical importance and to make valuable contributions to their solutions. Many of his papers continue to provide important guidance and insight because he dealt with issues of enduring practical importance.
