Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Meet John W. Tukey, one of the most consequential statisticians and original thinkers of the twentieth century.*Growing up one hundred years ago in New Bedford, Massachusetts, a large coastal town primarily known for its commercial fishing and textile industries, John Wilder Tukey quickly showed himself to be a child prodigy. The son of educated parents whose high school classmates voted them most likely to give birth to a genius, he learned to read on his own by three years of age, mastered using a hand-crack desk calculator to speed up arithmetical calculations shortly thereafter, and was poring through technical journals in the New Bedford Free Public Library by the time he was a teenager. Homeschooled until being admitted to Brown University, Tukey majored in chemistry there--even as he spent countless hours in the university library compiling lists of statistical techniques on index cards, simply because he found them interesting and useful. With multiple degrees in hand, Tukey's next stop was Princeton University, where his interests shifted to mathematics. After earning a doctorate in topology, an especially abstract branch of mathematics, Princeton retained him as a lecturer. But with the United States poised to enter World War II, Tukey joined the Fire Control Research Office (FCRO), where he was exposed to a set of life-and-death problems that bore little resemblance to abstract mathematics: namely, calculating the trajectories of artillery and ballistics and the motions of rocket powder, working with stereoscopic height and range finders, and improving the Boeing B-29 Superfortress bomber. With the stakes never higher, a chance encounter during the war with a fellow polymath and unconventional thinker twenty years his senior set the course for the rest of Tukey's professional life--as well as changing the field of statistics forever. In Adventures of a Statistician, author Mark Jones Lorenzo chronicles John Tukey's life and times, from his decades spent at Princeton as a teacher and administrator and also at AT&T's Bell Laboratories as a scientific generalist; to his development of the fast Fourier transform (FFT) algorithm, which launched a revolution in digital signal processing; to his innovative ideas in displaying and summarizing data, such as with the intuitive stem-and-leaf plot and the interactive graphics of the PRIM-9 computer system; to his creation of exploratory data analysis, an approach to performing statistics he equated with "detective work"; to his intellectual war with sex researcher Alfred Kinsey over appropriate kinds of statistical sampling; to his productive yet sometimes strained relationships with fellow statisticians such as Ronald Fisher, George Box, and Erich Lehmann; to his enlightening friendship with the legendary physicist Richard Feynman; to his mentoring of dozens of doctoral students, many of whom went on to have highly successful careers in their own right; to his inventive use of language, having coined words like "bit"; to his development of sophisticated mathematical methods to detect underground nuclear explosions; to his groundbreaking work on the jackknife, multiple comparisons, robustness, and many other statistical techniques; and to his accomplishments in health and environmental regulation, U.S. census analysis, election forecasting, and public policy, among a host of other significant and impactful achievements. Nearly a decade in the making, Adventures of a Statistician is more than just the complete biography of John W. Tukey, perhaps the most revolutionary applied statistician of the past century. It's also a fascinating intellectual journey through the recent history of statistics as well.* Please note: This item is a corrected reprint, released in August 2020, of <e Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.

(Atlantic City, N. J., 1947). Large 4to. (278x214 mm / 10.94x8.43 inches). Offprint from Bell System Technical Journal, Vol. 18, pp.495-513, December, 1947. Original printed wrappers with holes punched in the back (as issued). Lower left corner with traces after having been bended. Lower 2 cm of spine loosened, otherwise fine and clean throughout. Pp. 19. Scarce offprint issue of Olmstead and Tukey's important paper in which a new method for the association of two continuous variables are proposed. "Its notable properties are: (1) Special weight is given to extreme values of the variables. (2) Computation is very easy. (3) The test is non-parametric." (From the present paper). "One of the most influential statisticians of the twentieth century, John Wilder Tukey (1915-2000) played a key role in both the development and study of statistics. Upon receiving his Ph.D. in mathematics in 1939 from Brown University, he joined the faculty at Princeton" in 1945, he also began work at Bell Laboratories. Equally committed to both Princeton and Bell Labs, Tukey chose to work concurrently at both institutions. He was also a consultant for many companies, such as Merck and Company, Xerox Corporation, and the Educational Testing Service, and was a frequent advisor to the government for such programs as the US Census. From 1960 to 1980 he led the statistical component of NBC's election night projections. Among other projects Tukey analyzed Alfred Kinsey's research and examined data on ozone depletion. Tukey made many important contributions to the field of statistics, such as work in time series analysis, exploratory data analysis, and multiple comparisons. In early 1945, Tukey began working for Bell Labs, a lifelong association, as it would turn out. While at Bell Labs, Tukey worked with B. D. Holdbrook to develop the Nike missile system although the scant correspondence within this collection is rather routine and doesn't reflect their extensive contribution. Tukey also had a reputation for being discreet regarding his more sensitive projects." (American Philosophical Society).
