This collection of essays brings together many of the world's most distinguished statisticians to discuss a wide array of the most important recent developments in data analysis. The book honors John W. Tukey, one of the most influential statisticians of the twentieth century, on the occasion of his eightieth birthday. Contributors, some of them Tukey's former students, use his general theoretical work and his specific contributions to Exploratory Data Analysis as the point of departure for their papers. They cover topics from "pure" data analysis, such as gaussianizing transformations and regression estimates, and from "applied" subjects, such as the best way to rank the abilities of chess players or to estimate the abundance of birds in a particular area.
Tukey may be best known for coining the common computer term "bit," for binary digit, but his broader work has revolutionized the way statisticians think about and analyze sets of data. In a personal interview that opens the book, he reviews these extraordinary contributions and his life with characteristic modesty, humor, and intelligence. The book will be valuable both to researchers and students interested in current theoretical and practical data analysis and as a testament to Tukey's lasting influence.
The essays are by Dhammika Amaratunga, David Andrews, David Brillinger, Christopher Field, Leo Goodman, Frank Hampel, John Hartigan, Peter Huber, Mia Hubert, Clifford Hurvich, Karen Kafadar, Colin Mallows, Stephan Morgenthaler, Frederick Mosteller, Ha Nguyen, Elvezio Ronchetti, Peter Rousseeuw, Allan Seheult, Paul Velleman, Maria-Pia Victoria-Feser, and Alessandro Villa.

"John Tukey was one of the great statisticians of the 20th Century. This book is a collection of essays written by former students and colleagues of Tukey and presented at a conference in honor of his 80th birthday in 1995. With his death just a few short weeks ago it is again a good time to read this book and reflect on his accomplishments. The book starts off with some biographical information on Tukey including introductory remarks from the editors and a short biography. This is followed by his curriculum vitae and a chronological list of his Ph.D. students. An interview of Tukey in the style found in the journal "Statistical Science" follows. This is then followed by the remarks of his wife at a dinner meeting. Many well known statisticians participated in the conference at Princeton and there are several nice pictures from the event. This is followed by a large collection of papers on topics near and dear to Tukey including robust regression, jackknife, the Princeton robustness year, outlier analysis, case studies and philosophy of statistics and data analysis.
In a New York Times obituary article for Tukey, it was mentioned that Tukey coined the terms software and bit which are now computer science terms. He was a pioneer in statistical computing and changed people's thinking about the value of exploratory data analysis in addtion to confirmatory analysis. He is famous for his work on data analysis, robust statistical methods, time series analysis and the fast Fourier transform and many other important advances. For beginners the box plot and the stem and leaf plot are now commonly taught to them in their first course. These were also clever little inventions of Tukey."
