[R] [OT] Important stat dates

2006-09-07 Thread Erin Hodgess 
Dear R People:

Way Off Topic:

Is anyone aware of a website that contains important dates
in statistics history, please?

Maybe a sort of This Day in Statistics, please?

I thought that my students might get a kick out of that.

(actually I will probably enjoy it more than them!)

Thanks for any help!

I tried (via Google) today in statistics and today in statistics
history but nothing worthwhile appeared.

Sincerely,

Here are two pages that you might find helpful:

  http://www.york.ac.uk/depts/maths/histstat/welcome.htm

  http://www.economics.soton.ac.uk/staff/aldrich/Figures.htm

Both have additional references and reciprocal links.

HTH,
