    • Statistics and the war effort
  • As the 1940s approcached, perhaps Wilks's most important work came from his consulting with the Office of Naval Research (ONR) in Washington. Wilks was convinced that experimental design methods could improve the weapons and the fire doctrines of the armed forces, and he found a receptive ear at the ONR. By the time, the United States entered World War II, the army and the navy were both ready to apply statistical methods in the American version of operations research. Wilks set up the Statistical Research Group-Princeton (SRG-P) under the National Defense Research Council. The SRG-P recruited some of the brightest young mathematicians and statisticians, many of whom would make major contributions to the science in the years following the war. These included John Tukey (who swung over entirely to applications), Frederick Mosteller (who would go on to found the several statistics departments at Harvard), Theodore W. Anderson (whose text book on multivariate statistics was to become the bible of that field), Alexander Mood (who was to go on to make major advances in the theory of stochastic processes), and Charles Winsor (who was to give his name to an entire class of estimation methods), among others.
