Revisiting Stein's paradox: multi-task averaging (2014, methodology): “6 Estimating the Length of Kings’ Reigns To illustrate the differences between the actual estimates, we re-visit an estimation problem studied by Isaac Newton, “How long does the average king reign?” (Newton, 1728; Stigler, 1999).”
Statistical Rituals: The Replication Delusion and How We Got There (2018, methodology): “You might object that Newton was not familiar with statistical inference, but in fact, he was: In his role as the master of the London Royal Mint, he used statistical tests to make sure that the amount of gold in the coins was neither too small nor too large (Stigler, 1999).”
Rationality for Mortals: How People Cope with Uncertainty (2008, background): “See visual illusions personal construct theory, 110 perspective, 12, 67, 134 pheromone, 50–51 Philanthus triagulum, 59 physicians, 16–18, 35, 42–44, 73–74, 127–135, 148, 182–183, 198–200 Polistes dominulus, 51 polygamy, 142 polysemy, 71–75 pop-out dots, 66–67 pre-Bayes, 182–187 prediction counterint”
The null ritual : What you always wanted to know about significance testing but were afraid to ask (2004, background): “Materials to connect with the past can be drawn from two seminal books by Stephen Stigler (1986, 1999).”
Usability: Lessons Learned … and Yet to Be Learned (2014, unknown): “For much of his research, Gossett performed an early version of Monte Carlo simulations (Stigler, 1999) by preparing 3,000 cards labeled with physical measurements taken on criminals, shufﬂing them, then dealing them out into 750 groups of n = 4 – a much smaller sample size than 30.”
Human mobility: Models and applications (2017, background): “To provide context for what is to follow, we briefly describe a selection of influential historical contributions, keeping in mind “Stigler’s law of eponymy” which states: “No scientific discovery is named after its original discoverer” [31]).”
Harold Jeffreys’s Theory of Probability Revisited (2008, background): “25 Obviously, those priors are not called Jeﬀreys’s priors in the book but, as a counter-example to Steve Stigler’s law of eponimy (Stigler, 1999), the name is now correctly associated with the author of this new concept. separately, one recovers the invariance priors π ( µ ) ∝ 1 and π ( σ ) ∝ 1 /σ…”
The Chi-Square Test (2012, background): “Later, in 1904, he extended it to contingency tables to test for independence between rows and columns (Stigler, 1999).”
