Statistics, Indo-European, and Taxonomy

1. Setting of the problem. When in 1937 Douglas Chrétien and I published Quantitative Classification of Indo-European Languages ( Lg. 13.83–105) it aroused a little flurry of attention but no follow-up, except an extension of the method by ourselves to include Hittite ( Lg. 15.69–71 [1939]). For some years I had looked on our essay as a dead limb of effort, especially since my coauthor came subsequently to doubt the fruitfulness of the method on the ground that most of the values found by us lacked statistical significance
