Norman Nie som var med och grundade statistikföretaget SPSS samt Knowledge Networks har avlidit 72 år gammal.
Hans tidigare kollega på SPSS, ViAnn Beadle säger det bäst “I have known Norman since 1969 when I was a graduate student in Political Science at the University of Chicago. He gave me my first real job in 1972, and my life would not be what it is without his mentorship, encouragement, and support. He was first and foremost, a talented and respected political scientist and probably more proud of his contributions to political science than SPSS. There would be no SPSS without Norman and all former and current SPSSers who knew him, miss him today.”
