 | | Tukey's contributions to science, and to this journal in particular, were vast, profound, and remarkably farsighted. |
 | | Whole areas of statistics have their foundations laid and others are inspired--spectrum estimation, multiple comparisons, quick and dirty methods, exploratory data analysis, graphics, robust methods, and Monte Carlo. |
 | | The list of applications to science and technology goes on and on: seismology, education, band spectroscopy, halothane, federal statistics, indexing, astrophysics, the Kinsey report, pollution, molecular physics, and halocarbons are a small part of the list. |
