Selection bias and bombers

John D. Cook didn’t just recently start having interesting opinions! This is a post from 2008 that starts:

During WWII, statistician Abraham Wald was asked to help the British decide where to add armor to their bombers. After analyzing the records, he recommended adding more armor to the places where there was no damage!

A great story of how the best evidence may not be right in front of us.

Enjoy!
