## Education and career

Inoue's grandparents emigrated from Japan to Brazil in the 1930s; she was born in São Paulo, where she grew up.[1]

She earned bachelor's and master's degree from the University of São Paulo in 1992 and 1995,[2] and received a fellowship from the Brazilian government to continue her studies in the US.[1] She completed her Ph.D. in statistics in 1999 from Duke University,[2] under the supervision of Don Berry.[3]

After postdoctoral research at the University of Texas, she joined the University of Washington in 2002.[1] In 2019, she became the chair of the biostatistics department.[4]

## Book

With Giovanni Parmigiani, she is the author of the book Decision Theory: Principles and Approaches (Wiley, 2009).[5] This book won the DeGroot Prize of the International Society for Bayesian Analysis for 2009.[6]

## Recognition

In 2014, Inoue was elected as a Fellow of the American Statistical Association "for substantial and fundamental contributions to Bayesian decision theory and innovation in the statistical modeling of disease progression with applications to cancer research; for outstanding mentoring of junior researchers; and for exemplary service to the profession."[7]
