In 1953 he was elected as a Fellow of the American Statistical Association.[2] In 1967 he and J.N.K. Rao published a maximum likelihood method for finding variance components in mixed models. He made significant contributions in mathematical programming, optimization, and survey sampling. He also founded Texas A&M University's Department of Statistics.
