【赵莲菊】
赵莲菊（Anne Chao），是台湾的生态统计学家，任教于国立清华大学统计研究所。
==生平==
赵莲菊是60%统计学家，30%数学家与10%生态学家。1973年自清华大学数学系毕业，1977年取得美国威斯康辛统计博士。自1978年起，一直在清华大学任教。2006年起，担任清华特聘讲座教授。1997年获选国际数理统计学会会士，2005-2008年担任台湾国家讲座教授。多年来一直专研生态学及其相关学科中之数学与统计问题。主要的研究领域包含生态统计，生物多样性之统计推论，以及生态和环境抽样资料之统计分析。至2021年二月，她和合作者共出版了130篇学术论文，google scholar引文数超过39000次。这些论文 (i) 发展了Chao1, Chao2, ACE, ICE等物种数的统计估计方法以及生物多样性相关的一些指数的统计估计方法； (ii) 建立物种多样性，系统演化多样性，功能多样性之整合架构； (iii) 发展针对样本完整度之稀释与外插法，使得生物多样性资料可以克观比较。以上之统计方法在生态界广为应用。针对以上的方法，并发展了相关的软体例如众多生态学家使用的SPADE和iNEXT。并曾担任四个主要统计期刊及生态和演化方法论期刊之编辑委员。

Anne Chao is 60% statistician, 30% mathematician and 10% ecologist. She received her BS in mathematics from National Tsing Hua University, Taiwan, in 1973, and her PhD in statistics from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 1977. Since 1978, she has been with the Institute of Statistics, National Tsing Hua University, Taiwan, where she is currently a Tsing-Hua Distinguished Chair Professor. She is a Fellow of the Institute of Mathematical Statistics, and held a Taiwan National Chair Professorship. Chao has long been fascinated with mathematical and statistical issues arising in ecology and related sciences; her major research interests include ecological statistics, statistical inferences of biodiversity measures, and statistical analysis of ecological/environmental survey data. She and her collaborators have published more than 130 papers with citations > 28000 in Google Scholar (accessed in February 2021). Their papers have (i) developed several biodiversity measures/estimators including Chao1, Chao2, ACE, and ICE for species richness, as well as some novel methods to infer entropy, diversity and related similarity/differentiation measures, (ii) established a unified mathematical/statistical framework for taxonomic, phylogenetic and functional diversities, and (iii) generalized the classic sample-size-based rarefaction method to sample-coverage-based rarefaction and extrapolation, to standardize biodiversity samples. To implement their methodologies, Chao and her colleagues/students have also developed statistical software including CARE (CApture-REcapture), SPADE (Species-richness Prediction And Diversity Estimation), iNEXT (iNterpolation/EXTrapolation), PhD (Phylogenetic Diversity) and FunD (Functional Diversity. For the past 20 years, Chao served in the editorial boards of four major statistical journals, and currently serves as an Associate Editor for Methods in Ecology and Evolution.
