André-Michel Guerry's Moral Statistics of France:
Challenges for Multivariate Spatial Analysis

These pages were initially created in connection with my paper, A.-M. Guerry's Moral Statistics of France: Challenges for Multivariate Spatial Analysis, Statistical Science, 2007, 22(3), 368-399, DOI, where I review Guerry's life and works, and invite others to show what modern methods of statistics and statistical graphics can reveal about the problems and questions that Guerry raised.
