  • Leland Wilkinson, well-known in statistics research/academic circles for his creation of the SYSTAT statistical/graphics software package in the early '80s, has been hired by Tableau (NYSE:DATA -1.4%) to be its VP of statistics. He'll "contribute to Tableau's research and development efforts in the areas of scientific visualization, statistical graphics, and predictive analysis."
