The influence of John Tukey's work in robust methods for chemometrics and environmetrics
John Tukey's impact on statistics, and on science in general, is broad and lasting. This article discusses some of these contributions, with a special emphasis on those that led to the development of robust methods and data exploration used in chemical and environmental sciences. In view of today's emphasis on data mining techniques, the recollection of Tukey's influence is especially timely. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
