E. Jacquelin Dietz (1951–2020) was an American statistician, interested in nonparametric and multivariate statistics and in statistics education. She was a professor at North Carolina State University until 2004, when she moved to Meredith College.[1] At Meredith, she was head of the mathematics and computer science department for five years, from approximately 2007 to 2012, and taught statistics for 10 years.[2] Dietz was the founding editor-in-chief of Journal of Statistics Education.[1]
Dietz graduated from Oberlin College in 1973, majoring in mathematics and psychobiology,[1] a subject she added to her mathematics courses in order to make her studies less theoretical and more relevant.[2] She entered graduate study at the University of Connecticut in biobehavioral science, but after taking a required statistics course switched to that subject,[2] and completed a master's degree and a Ph.D. in 1975 and 1978 respectively.[1] Her dissertation, supervised by Timothy John Killeen, was Bivariate Nonparametric Tests for the One-Sample Location Problem.[3]
