Covering the period between James Bernoulli and R.A. Fisher, it examines: binomial statistical inference; statistical inference by inverse probability; the central limit theorem and linear minimum variance estimation by Laplace and Gauss; error theory, skew distributions, correlation, sampling distributions; and the Fisherian Revolution. Lively biographical sketches of many of the main characters are featured throughout, including Laplace, Gauss, Edgeworth, Fisher, and Karl Pearson. Also examined are the roles played by DeMoivre, James Bernoulli, and Lagrange. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a history of parametric statistical inference, written by one of the most important historians of statistics of the 20th century, Anders Hald. This book can be viewed as a follow-up to his two most recent books, although this current text is much more streamlined and contains new analysis of many ideas and developments. And unlike his other books, which were encyclopedic by nature, this book can be used for a course on the topic, the only prerequisites being a basic course in probability and statistics.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe book is divided into five main sections: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e* Binomial statistical inference;\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e* Statistical inference by inverse probability;\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e* The central limit theorem and linear minimum variance estimation by Laplace and Gauss;\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e* Error theory, skew distributions, correlation, sampling distributions;\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e* The Fisherian Revolution, 1912-1935.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThroughout each of the chapters, the author provides lively biographical sketches of many of the main characters, including Laplace, Gauss, Edgeworth, Fisher, and Karl Pearson.
