Ralph Dennis Cook (born June 20, 1944) is an American statistician, mostly known for Cook's distance[1] and the Cook–Weisberg test.[2] Cook is a professor of statistics at the University of Minnesota.

After graduating from Northern Montana College (1967), Cook earned his master's (1969) and Ph.D. (1971) degrees from Kansas State University.[3] His dissertation, The Dynamics of Finite Populations: The Effects of Variable Selection Intensity and Population Size on the Expected Time to Fixation and the Ultimate Probability of Fixation of an Allele, was supervised by Raj Nassar.[4]

He is the author of several books, including Introduction to Envelopes: Dimension Reduction for Efficient Estimation in Multivariate Statistics[5] and Residuals and Influence in Regression.[6]

In 1982 he was elected as a Fellow of the American Statistical Association.[7]
