Reviews

... beautifully-produced ... The book performs a valuable service in placing [Thiele's] role in statistics where it properly belongs. The Mathematical Gazette Thiele's work on the method of least squares was far ahead of his time that only a few could appreciate the results. It sparkles with ingenuity. The author shows that the answer to the question why Thiele's important contributions to statistics have been overlooked for about one hundred years is very complex. Zentralblatt MATH ... presents the first English translations of three of Thiele's statistical publications ... this is a book which anyone with an interest in the history of statistics will wish to read. International Statistical Insitute
