Gauss Moutinho Cordeiro (born April 17, 1952) is a Brazilian engineer, mathematician and statistician who has made significant contributions to the theory of statistical inference, mainly through applications of asymptotic theory. Currently he is Adjoint Professor at Federal Rural University of Pernambuco in Brazil. He has published more than 100 research articles in scientific international periodics (2007). He has supervised more than 30 MSc and DSc theses. He was president of Associação Brasileira de Estatística, 2000-2002. He was one of the founder editors of the Brazilian Journal of Probability and Statistics and the Editor in Chief of this journal between 1995-2000. He organized several statistical meetings in Brazil.
