Order Statistics

Famous quotes containing the words order and/or statistics:

    Explanations comfort us by giving the impression that there is an order in things.
    Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

    We ask for no statistics of the killed,
    For nothing political impinges on
    This single casualty, or all those gone,
    Missing or healing, sinking or dispersed,
    Hundreds of thousands counted, millions lost.
    Karl Shapiro (b. 1913)
