J. Finney, „Probit Analysis":
,,Twenty-five or more years ago,
when I entered the field of resa-
arch . . ., the very whisper of the
need for statistical analysis fall-
ing upon the ears of the biological
expert, was enough to bring down
a storm of denial upon one’s head.
Although there may be some small
residue of such a reaction still in
existence, it now only persists in
obscure nooks and crannies of the
world of biological research ... I
have found, relatively late in life,
how hard a task it to pick up,
during busy years, the requisite
amount of basic statistical know-
ledge to follow the arguments set
out in recent text-books written
for one’s own benefit. I therefore
feel that more attention might be
given to such a matter by the
academic powers-that-be“.
Þannig var ritað um tölfræðina
fyrir tveimur áratugum. Verður
hið sama gert um lífstærðfræðina
á morgun?
