It is such an elegant way of thinking: "Would you expect that result as the action of pure random processes?". It is is such a beatiful way to apply something so undescribable as probability. I am very sorry to hear about John Tukey passing away. I never met him in person, but i met his mind thru his work. And i am sorry to learn that that mind is no longer with us.

I was fortunate enough to sit in on a short course at Iowa State 20 or so years ago and hear his spirited discussions with some of the professors there. Prior to that I had no idea that people could be passionate about the field of statistics.

In particular, he was the *last* "World's Greatest Statistician". At the turn of the 20th century, the title could be said to belong to Karl Pearson. By the first third, it had passed to Sir Ronald Fisher. By mid- century, the honor was Tukey's. No one had his command of both theory and practice, and given the way the field has fractured and split apart into so many specialties, it seems no one will ever again command such depth at such breadth. = Instructions for joining and leaving this list and remarks about the problem of INAPPROPRIATE MESSAGES are available at http://jse.stat.ncsu.edu/ =

John Tukey
-- Forwarded Message: From: "Wainer, Howard" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: John Tukey Dear Friends and colleagues, John Wilder Tukey died last night of an accumulation of physical problems. We shared a mince pie (his favorite) on Monday night in his hos- pital room, and he was in good spirits, but in the end his body failed him. He left us with his mind intact; despite the physical problems that plagued him, in the end he was still John Tukey. If you have any specific question please write and I will try to answer them. As other plans are made I will keep you informed.
