Richard Loree Anderson (April 20, 1915 – February 19, 2003) was an American econometrician. He was a Professor of Statistics at North Carolina State University from 1941 to 1966. In 1967, he took up chairmanship of the newly established Department of Statistics at the University of Kentucky, a position he held until 1979.

Even before, he had been consulting several computer programming companies including IMSL, BMDP, and SAS.

Anderson was good friends with William Gemmell Cochran before the latter died in 1980. The two had first met at Iowa State University in 1938. Provided by Wikipedia
