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).
