Whodunnit?

Was it McKay or McCay? Both spellings are used. McKay 13:18, 21 July 2006 (UTC) That would be Michael McKay, recently retired from Los Alamos National Lab, and Richard Beckman, who retired a few years ago. I imagine Conover also worked with them in the Statistics Division there, but I never knew him. I'm new to Wikipedia, and wonder why they are not credited with the idea, since their publication is 2 years before the other one.Sgeubank 01:13, 4 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I think that Iman and Conover co-invented LHS and that Iman was Conover's PhD student. This article's author should check with Inam or Conover. (I first learned of LHS at a presentation by Iman in 1980.) JDR69.140.135.184 14:55, 11 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
