Pinsker studied stochastic processes under A.
- N.
- Kolmogorov in the 1950s, and later worked at the Institute for Information Transmission Problems (IITP), Russian Academy of Sciences, Moscow. His accomplishments included a classic paper on the entropy theory of dynamical systems which introduced the maximal partition with zero entropy, later known as Pinsker's partition.
- His work in mathematical statistics was devoted mostly to the applications of information theory, including asymptotically sufficient statistics for parameter estimation and nonparametric estimation; Pinsker's inequality is named after him.
- He also produced notable results in the theory of switching networks and complexity problems in coding theory. Pinsker received the IEEE Claude E.
- Shannon Award in 1978, and the IEEE Richard W.
