==History==

EDA sucks

Many EDA ideas can be traced back to earlier authors, for example:

* [[Francis Galton]] - his emphasis on [[order-statistics]] and [[percentiles]]

* [[Arthur Bowley]] - used precursors of the [[stemplot]] and [[five-figure summary]] (Bowley actually used seven - the median, along with extremes, quartiles and ''deciles'')

* [[Andrew Ehrenberg's]] philosophy of [[Data Reduction]] (see his book of the same name).

The [[Open University]] course ''Statistics in Society'' (MDST 242), took the above ideas, and merged them with [[Gottfried Noether]]'s work, which introduced [[statistical inference]] via coin-tossing and the [[median test]].

For details of the above, see [[John Bibby]]'s book ''HOTS: History of Teaching Statistics''.
