The fascinating story of Florence Nightingale, OM, RRC, DStJ, (1820–1910), The Lady with the Lamp, on her contributions to the care of wounded soldiers during the Crimean war and her subsequent efforts to elevate the status of the nursing profession and to modernize and improve institutional care for military participants and retirees, remains vividly implanted in our culture.While recognizing the importance of her work in that direction, we statisticians also celebrate her contributions to the field of Statistics. Her meticulous compilation of data to support her arguments for change in military hospitals was recognized as an important factor in the development of a positive image of Statistics as a science in its own right. The second celebrated statistical contribution ofMiss Nightingale was the use of “coxcombs” as per her nomenclature, to illustrate periodic data, e.g., monthly mortality figures over 1854–1856 during the Crimean war. This graphical representation was the genesis of modern-day Rose diagrams representing one of the earliest instances of the analysis of circular data, and a sizeable body of research in that field has subsequently followed her pioneering efforts. Statisticians may thus well acknowledge her as The Lady with the Rose (diagram). The third revered contribution of Miss Nightingale was her indefatigable efforts through non-trivial data collection and statistical presentation toward the improvement of health conditions and mortality rates in rural areas, especially in India, during the British regime.
