[image]Dear all,

I’m just reading the “XXVIIth International Biometric Con­fer­ence Highlights” in the Biometric Bulletin.
The IBC2014 was held in Florence last July. The “Honorary Life Membership”, considered the highest honor of the Biometric Society, was granted to Lutz Edler, Roger Mead and Byron Morgan.

Although unable to travel, Roger Mead asked his son Andrew to read a message to the membership. It said, in part:

   I am very pleased that the Design of Experiments¹ is included in the citation on my plaque. Design sadly lags far behind Analysis in the perception of most statisticians, and yet, as I re­marked at the 1988 Con­fer­ence², Design is 7.6 times as important as Analysis (for a few con­fer­ences this became an in-joke and I was asked was it still 7.6? The answer, of course, was that the im­por­tance ratio varied, getting as high as 8.3, and as low as 6.4).
