Xu was an outstanding and world well known Chinese scholar in the field of mathematical statistics and theory of probability. In his early research career, he published a series of remarkable papers on multivariable statistic analysis and statistic inference. He improved matrix transformation techniques and generalized the application of matrix theory in amthematical statistics. He made significant achievements in the study of square root optimum expectation in Gaussian-Marckov model and obtained outstanding results in the field of probability theory. Together with his colleagues, he introduced for the first time the concept of total convergence and set up a new specialty in the study of limit theory. He achieved many important results in the aspects of classification of matrix-couples under certain transformations and the limit distribution of order statistics. He also did tremendous word for the development of Chinese education and the training of probabilists and statisticians.
He became Member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in 1955.
