Hi all, Sorry for the reposting... I was advised to repost this question with more specific title. I apologize for this off-topic question but I really need your help -- I know there are lots of experts here.
As a lover and student of statistics, I am thinking of building a tree of various branches of statistics and keeping track of the greatest historical inventions/discoveries in statistics and the latest development of each branch. The goal is to understand in what context did the great inventions come out and then try to follow the greatest minds in terms of creating future significant inventions/discoveries in the statistics field... This is the "learn-from-the-greatest-minds" approach. Could anybody give me some pointers about existing books/articles about the greatest inventions/discoveries in statistics? And topic list? Here the "statistics" is in the broad sense, including data-mining, complex data-set, large data-set, etc. We also want to talk about not only the concepts, but also the tools and methodologies. Thanks a lot! ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
