dc.description.abstractData is reanalyzed from an important series of 19th century experiments conducted by C. S. Peirce and designed to study the plausibility of the Gaussian law of errors for astronomical observations. Contrary to the findings of Peirce, but in accordance with subsequent analysis by Fréchet and Wilson and Hilferty, we find normality implausible and medians an attractive alternative to means for the analysis.en
