| May 31, 2013 at 0:47 | comment | added | Nick Cox | The term "standard error" is attributed to G.U. Yule (1897) by H.A. David in stat.iastate.edu/preprint/articles/2011-10.pdf Presumably it echoes "standard deviation" introduced earlier by K. Pearson (1894). These are dates for the terms, not the ideas. | |
