George Paul McCabe (April 2, 1945 – August 17, 2023) was an American statistician and professor who served on the faculty of Purdue University for over five decades. He is best known as the co-author (with David S. Moore) of Introduction to the Practice of Statistics, a foundational textbook that expanded the teaching of statistics to encompass data analysis, in contrast with the traditional focus on rote calculation and pure mathematical theory.
