What are the BIG Ideas Statistical Design of Experiments DOE provides a rigorous and universal framework to design and analyze all comparative experiments. The major ideas were conceived and developed in the 1920's by the great British statistician and geneticist, Sir Ronald Fisher, chiefly to meet the needs of agricultural experimentation that he faced as statistician at the British Agricultural Experimentation Station in Rothamstead, England. Fisher's discovery was that there is a simple underlying geometric structure to all such experimentation, and that a well-designed experiment is one that effectively utilizes this structure under the real constraints of time, money, and experimental environment in which the experiment must be conducted. Fisher and his colleagues further developed the underlying statistical

Return to History Preamble A Brief History of Evolutionary Genetics. Part 2: Sir Ronald Fisher In 1918, Fisher provided the basis for reconciling all variation with Mendelism, and much else Fisher set out as a convinced Darwinian and Mendelian, and his first tasks were concerned with expressing the well-established results of the biometricians, such as phenotypic correlations among relatives, in terms of Mendel's irreducible particles. This he did in his startlingly original 1918 paper , already alluded to above. In so doing, he laid much of the foundation of modern biological statistics (e.g. he recommended variance - s2 - squared deviations from the mean - as a measure of variation rather than the standard deviation, s, since variances are additive when their sources are independent) Of direct relevance here, he recognised not only that all variation can be partitioned into genetic and non-genetic causes, but that, while the correlation among siblings is an expression of additive (selectable) genetic variance, there is also a genetic residue, including the effects of linkage, dominance and epistasis. Thus, in a single paper, nearly 80 years ago, Fisher set up the statistical model of quantitative inheritance that we still use today. Fisher concluded that significant evolutionary change took place only in large populations, almost exclusively by selection on near-independent loci

Sir Ronald Aylmer Fisher Fisher did much to provide a sound scientific and mathematical basis for statistics. He invented the Analysis of Variance, stratified random samples and was a pioneer in the design of experiments. Much of his statistical work was derived from his study of biology, and he was also a pioneer in population genetics. Despite the fact that he was to become the premiere statistician of his day, his career did not have an auspicious beginning. After graduation from Cambridge he was unable to find professional employment and worked briefly on a farm in Canada. Fortuitously this solidified his interest in biology, which was to be fundamental throughout much of his career. Fisher's early papers on the theory of distributions were favorably recieved by Karl Pearson . However, since many of his papers dealt with biological data unfamiliar to his reviewers, their publication was sometimes delayed. To be sure, Fisher himself contributed to these delays, withdrawing papers in anger when reviewers simply asked for clarifications. By 1919, however, this had developed into a full-blown feud between Karl Pearson, the leading statistician of the day. Fisher felt that that Pearson no longer had original contributions to make probably true and that he was unfairly criticized partly true. In any case, Fisher declined a position at the Galton Labs at University College in London since it would have met working in close proximity with Pearson. Instead he took a position at the Rothamsted Experimental Station, where he made some of his most original contributions to statistics and genetics.

Change your username Letter to the Bookshelf Probability Theory: The Logic of Science, by E. T. Jaynes. Edited by G. Larry Bretthorst February 24, 2004 I was astonished to read, in Tommaso Toffoli's review of Probability Theory: The Logic of Science , by E. T. Jaynes, a gratuitous ad hominem attack on the late R. A. Fisher. How does it advance the debate on the relative merits of frequentist and Bayesian foundations of probability theory to directly slander Fisher as a "pooh-bah" (defined in my Concise Oxford Dictionary as a "pompous, self-important person"), and to write out his full name and titles, his (hard-earned) Cambridge education and honors in a way clearly meant to be mocking? Fisher died 42 years ago, and I did not know him personally; also I am not qualified to argue for or against his philosophy of statistical inference. But as a former agricultural researcher I can say that his contributions to statistics and experimental design for field and laboratory trials are worthy of respect. And as a member of Sigma Xi I can say that this kind of polemic has no place in a book review.

Blue Plaques News London Blue Plaques Actor and writer Stephen Fry poses outside 54 Eaton Square in London - the former home of actress Vivien Leigh - during the launch of 'Handheld History'  Blue plaques are among the most familiar features of the London streetscape. They adorn the fa§ades of buildings in areas as different as Primrose Hill, Soho and Wimbledon; some of these buildings are grand, others look very ordinary, but all are connected by the fact that a remarkable person lived or worked there at some point in history. Blue plaques celebrate great figures of the past and the buildings that they inhabited. They open a window into another time by showing us where the great and the good have penned their masterpieces, developed new technologies, lived or died. Actors, authors, politicians, painters, scientists, sportsmen, campaigners and reformers – people from different countries, cultures and backgrounds – have all been commemorated in this way. The blue plaques scheme has been run by English Heritage since 1986, and continues to grow at a rate of around twenty plaques each year. From 2004, the scheme will be extended across England on a region-by-region basis; there are already blue plaques in Merseyside, Birmingham, Southampton and Portsmouth.

Fisher received a B.A. in astronomy from Cambridge in 1912. It was his interest in the theory of errors in astronomical observations that eventually led him to investigate statistical problems. He gave up being a mathematics teacher in 1919 to work at the Rothamsted Agricultural Experiment Station where he worked as a biologist and made many contributions to both statistics and genetics. He studied the design of experiments by introducing the concept of randomisation and the analysis of variance, procedur es now used throughout the world. In 1921 he introduced the concept of likelihood. The likelihood of a parameter is proportional to the probability of the data and it gives a function which usually has a single maximum value, which he called the maximum likelihood.
