Olive Jean Dunn (1 September 1915 – 12 January 2008)[1][2] was an American mathematician and statistician, and professor of biostatistics at the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA).

[3] From the notes to her 1959 publication[4] on confidence intervals:"Most of the research for this paper was part of my doctoral dissertation.

The idea of writing an article for the research worker who uses statistical methods was suggested to me by one of the non-statisticians on my doctoral committee at the time of my final examination.

After failing to find a general proof for this, I finally noticed that the simple Bonferroni intervals were nearly as short.

[1] Dunn and Clark also co-authored Applied statistics: an analysis of variance and regression, which has also had several editions, with Ruth Mickey joining the authors.
