Bent Jørgensen (April 15, 1954 – November 19, 2015) was a Danish statistician from the University of Southern Denmark whose research was focused on two related topics in statistics: dispersion models and the analysis of non-normal correlated data. Dispersion models serve as error distributions for generalized linear models and represent a broad class of distributions that allow for the analysis of data that go beyond the restrictions of the normal distribution. These models include both the proper dispersion models and the exponential dispersion models.
