Does any living statistician come close to the level of Donald Rubin in terms of research impact? Missing data analysis, causal inference, EM algorithm, any probably more. He just walks around creating new subfields.

Gelman has contributed to Bayesianism, hierarchial models and Stan is great, but that's not even close to what Rubin has done.

ps. Gelman was Rubin's doctoral student.

Also approximate Bayesian computation, principal stratification, and the Bayesian Bootstrap.
