   agresti's book ( forget which one. there are two ) has an appendix about
the
   history of categorical data that i remember being quite interesting.
that's
   the only one i know of.

     Hi all,
     I apologize for this off-topic question but I need your help -- I know
     there are lots of experts here.
     As a lover and student of statistics, I am thinking of building a tree
     of various branches of statistics and keeping track of the greatest
     historical inventions/discoveries in statistics and the latest
     development of each branch. The goal is to understand in what context
     did the great inventions come out and then try to follow the greatest
     minds in terms of creating future significant inventions/discoveries
     in the statistics field... This is the "learn-from-the-greatest-minds"
     approach.
     Could anybody give me some pointers about existing books/articles
     about the greatest inventions/discoveries in statistics? And topic
     list?
     Thanks a lot!
