Doctor of Science degree from Purdue University in 2004.

Berger's research has primarily been in Bayesian statistics, foundations of
statistics, statistical decision theory, simulation, model selection, and
various interdisciplinary areas of science and industry. He has supervised 30
Ph.D. dissertations, published over 140 articles and has written or edited 13
