Regression towards the mean, historically considered

Stephen M Stigler

Department of Statistics, University of Chicago, Chicago, Illinois, USA, stigler{at}galton.uchicago.edu

The simple yet subtle concept of regression towards the mean is reviewed historically. Verbal, geometric, and mathematical expressions of the concept date to the discoverer of the concept, Francis Galton. That discovery and subsequent understanding (and misunderstanding) of the concept are surveyed.
