Why do nearly all stores have a loyalty program? Are they really just seeking loyalty, or is it a key aspect of how they’re using analytics to improve their business? In this episode of Keyboard and Quill, hosts Tim Berglund and Rachel Pedreschi explore the evolution of early data analytics. They trace its development from early statistics concepts to Florence Nightingale's pioneering work in healthcare to Ronald Fisher’s foundational null hypothesis and randomized controlled trials (despite his deplorable role in history as a eugenicist) to John Tukey’s advocacy for exploratory data analysis. Through it all, we see how various threads contributed to the methods and practices underlying today's data-driven decision making.
