Feinberg was one of the foremost social statisticians in the world, and was well known for his work in log-linear modeling for categorical data, the statistical analysis of network data, and methodology for disclosure limitation. He authored and coauthored books on categorical data analysis,[6] US census adjustment,[7] and forensic science.[8] He was a founder and editor-in-chief of the Journal of Privacy and Confidentiality.[9]

A. Fisher Lecturer in 2015.[17] Fienberg was the winner of the 2015 NISS Jerome Sacks Award for Cross-Disciplinary Research,[18]
