April Fool’s Day (today) and the opening of baseball season (this Sunday) are upon us. To mark the first event, I’ll let my distinguished colleague Donald Wheeler make some eloquent and crucial statistical points that turn out to be, well, laughably simple. (No fooling!)

ANOM and other Tools

When it comes to utilization of control chart methods for ANOM (and a slew of other uses) I think the AT&T Statistical Quality Control Handbook (1956, Western Electric Co., Inc.), despite it's archaic and "politically incorrect" title must be acknowledged. It takes the original work of Walter Shewhart and explodes it into whole world of control chart based statistical techniques. It is a Must-Read for anyone who utilizes or wants to utilize control charts.
