Alan Stuart was a statistician and professor at the London School of Economics, closely associated with the systematic presentation of statistical theory in Maurice Kendall's textbook tradition. The publisher credits him as an author of the sixth edition of Kendall's Advanced Theory of Statistics, volume 1, Distribution Theory, published in 1994. Its scope runs from moments and characteristic functions to sampling distributions, order statistics and multivariate normal distributions. This connects the probability distribution of raw observations to the sampling distribution of the statistics used for inference.[ref]
