Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: In Seminal Ideas and Controversies in Statistics, Roderick J. A. Little examines influential papers and debates that have shaped modern statistics.Rather than providing a conventional history of statistics, the book organizes topics by foundational debates, computational advances, and design principles.Each chapter centers on a seminal article (or group of articles) that marked a controversy or turning point.Little provides historical context and technical exposition without excessive mathematical detail, and he reflects on the strengths, weaknesses, and unresolved questions surrounding each contribution.
