| Mar 20, 2015 at 5:10 | comment | added | Livid | @mguzmann Sorry, I do not. I also wondered who came up with the idea, its adoption over time, etc and could not find an anything on that. I imagine it evolved from reporting tables of means +/- error in the days before computers. I have seen papers from the 1930s that manage to publish tables of the complete dataset so I am not sure that practice was ever really justified either. For example: Hedrich AW. Monthly estimates of the child population "susceptible" to measles, 1900–1931, Baltimore, Maryland. Am J Hyg 1933;17:613-636. | |
