Yan Kagan and Dave Jackson were two pioneers in statistical seismology. For more than 30 yr, Kagan had collaborated closely with Jackson, who became his sponsor, on some of the most important contributions to statistical seismology. Notably, the two researchers applied mathematical rigor to systematically frame and carefully test hypotheses about earthquake forecasts. Kagan and Jackson were, as Jackson's wife described, like...
