Statistics

A random quote from statquotes on topics related to statistics:

When [the profession of] statistics becomes clearly embedded in people’s minds as being concerned with investigation* rather than simply calculation (or worse still, mere cataloguing of data), there can be no room for doubts about the relevance of the subject.* – C. J. Wild, Embracing the ‘Wider view’ of Statistics, The American Statistician, 48, 163-171. p. 165.
