He studied at Kharkov University and wrote on Lebesgue integration. Sergi Bernstein influenced him, encouraging him to read Pearson's Grammar of Science. In Warsaw he lectured in mathematics and statistics and received a doctorate in 1924. Receiving a fel lowship to work with Pearson in London, he was disappointed to discover that Pearson was ignorant of modern mathematics. In Paris he attended lectures by Lebesgue and Hadamard but his interest in statistics was stimulated again by Pearson's son who sought a general principle from which Gosset's tests could be derived. Neyman went on to produce fundamental results on hypothesis testing. He worked in England from 1934 to 1938 when he emigrated to the USA working in Berkeley for the rest of his life. His wor k on hypothesis testing, confidence intervals and survey sampling revolutionised statistics. Neyman's thoughts on model building and assessment: ``Whenever we use mathematics in order to study some observational phenomena we must essentially begin by building a mathematical model (deterministic or probabilistic) for these phenomena. Of necessity, the model must simplify matters and certain details must be ignored. The success of the model depending on whether or not the details ignored are really unimportant in the development of the phenomena studied. The solution of the mathematical problem may be correct and yet be in considerable disagreement with the observed data simply because the underlying assumptions made are not warranted. It is usually quite difficult to state with certainty, whether or not a given mathematical model is adequate

Biografia La sua famiglia era di origine polacca, deportata dopo i moti del 1863. Inizialmente frequenta la scuola a Simferopol per poi passare nel 1906 a Karkov. Nel 1910 comincia gli studi di matematica e fisica presso l'universit  di Karkov, durante i quali si interessa dei lavori di Karl Pearson e della teoria della misurazione nei lavori di Henri Leon Lebesgue. Negli anni della rivoluzione d'ottobre viene arrestato, e nel 1921 giunge in Polonia grazie ad uno scambio di prigionieri. Comincia come statistico presso l'Istituto Nazionale per l'Agricoltura di Bydgosz dove conclude nel 1923 il suo dottorato. Nel 1924 giunge con una borsa di studio all'University College di Londra diretto da Karl Pearson e dove incontra e si fa apprezzare da altri personaggi chiave per la statistica: Ronald Fisher, William Sealy Gosset, Egon Pearson.

50. RMT 13:4 Notations And Quotations In our group downstairs there were jerzy neyman and BL Welch. MS Bartlett had been there, but he had left. Upstairs with Fisher, there was WL http://www.rasch.org/rmt/rmt134b.htm

Notations and Quotations "Measurement is the Achilles' heel of sociobehavioral research. Although most programs in sociobehavioral sciences ... require a medium of exposure to statistics and research design, few seem to require the same where measurement is concerned ... It is, therefore, not surprising that little or no attention is given to the properties of the measures used in many research studies." Also quoted in Kieffer K.M. (1999) Why generalizability theory is essential and classical test theory is often inadequate. In B. Thompson (Ed.) Advances in Social Science Methodology. Vol. 5. Stamford, CT: JAI Press. Unfortunately, neither the original authors nor the quoting author appear to realize that an essential property of a useful measure is linearity. Rasch in London "It was very unfortunate that there was a definite antagonism between [Jerzy] Neyman and [Ronald A.] Fisher. In 1934 Neyman had given his famous paper on sampling methods at the Royal Statistical Society that brought out Fisher's wrath. And this wrath continued at University College [London] during my [Churchill Eisenhart's] time there (1935-37). Fisher's approach to teaching and writing on methods was: I'll tell you what to do, and you leave it up to me what the basic theory is. But then he wouldn't always tell you all the relevant facts of the theory. He would be lecturing, say, on factorial design, and would never mention the importance of additivity. Someone would tell Neyman about this, and in Neyman's next lecture on probability he'd digress and give a bitter discourse on Professor Fisher and his factorial design."

OR/MS Today - June 2005 In Memoriam: George Dantzig George Bernard Dantzig Operations Research Loses a Pillar of the Profession Some thoughts of the late, great "Father of Linear Programming" on the past and future of operations research. By Peter Horner Editor's Note: George Dantzig, a truly legendary figure in the history of operations research, passed away on May 13 at the age of 90. We had the privilege of interviewing Professor Dantzig in 1999, shortly before his 85th birthday. That interview, which was first published in the October 1999 issue of OR/MS Today, Life is full of uncertainty. How do you explain it, let alone plan for it? SIDE STORIES: Achievements and Accolades My Time with the Great GBD Fortunately for the O.R. community, Dantzig's math skills improved. Dantzig went on to earn an A.B. degree in mathematics and physics from the University of Maryland (where his father taught mathematics), an M.A. in mathematics from the University of Michigan and a Ph.D. in mathematics from the University of California-Berkeley in 1946. It was while a grad student at Berkeley in the 1940s that Dantzig displayed the unique brand of genius that would eventually elevate him to almost mythical status in the O.R. community. Dantzig, believing he was working on a couple of "homework" assignments, instead solved two famous "unsolvable" problems that had stumped generations of statisticians. A legend was born.

Current Issue Past Issues Search this Journal Editorial Board ... Other IMS and IMS Related Journals James O. Berger Could Fisher, Jeffreys and Neyman Have Agreed on Testing? Source: Statist. Sci. Abstract: Ronald Fisher advocated testing using p -values, Harold Jeffreys proposed use of objective posterior probabilities of hypotheses and Jerzy Neyman recommended testing with fixed error probabilities. Each was quite critical of the other approaches. Most troubling for statistics and science is that the three approaches can lead to quite different practical conclusions. This article focuses on discussion of the conditional frequentist approach to testing, which is argued to provide the basis for a methodological unification of the approaches of Fisher, Jeffreys and Neyman. The idea is to follow Fisher in using p -values to define the "strength of evidence" in data and to follow his approach of conditioning on strength of evidence; then follow Neyman by computing Type I and Type II error probabilities, but do so conditional on the strength of evidence in the data. The resulting conditional frequentist error probabilities equal the objective posterior probabilities of the hypotheses advocated by Jeffreys. Related Works: Includes: Ronald Christensen, Comment.

Contact Author Abstract What Chow calls NHSTP is an inconsistent hybrid of Fisherian and Neyman-Pearsonian ideas. In psychology it has been practiced like ritualistic handwashing and sustained by wishful thinking about its utility. Chow argues that NHSTP is an important tool for ruling out chance as an explanation for data. I disagree. This ritual discourages theory development by providing researchers with no incentive to specify hypotheses. Is Testing Unspecified Hypothesis Against "Chance" A Good Research Strategy? No. The single most important problem with null hypothesis testing is that it provides researchers with no incentive to develop precise hypotheses. To perform a significance test, one need not specify the predictions of either one's own research hypothesis or those of alternative hypotheses. All one has to do is test an unspecified hypothesis (H1) against "chance" (H0). In my experience, the routine of testing against chance using NHSTP promotes imprecise hypotheses.

Jerzy Neyman Neyman's influence in modern statistics can scarcely be overestimated. These include Hypothesis testing (with R.A. FIsher and Karl Pearson) Type I and Type II Error (with Karl Pearson) Confidence Intervals sampling stratified populations Such commonplace notions today as opinion polls rely on Neyman's ideas. His notion of the randomized experiment led to entirely new methodologies and fields of study in medicine, agriculture, social science and physics. Neyman was born in that part of Poland under occupation by Imperial Russia. He completed his undergraduate studies at Kharkov University in 1917, but the chaotic political situation in eastern Europe at the time complicated young Neyman's life and academic career. He mairred in 1920 and was almost immediately imprisoned for six weeks.Eventually he went to Warsaw where he received his doctorate for research dealing with probability as applied to agriculture. Receiving a Rockefeller Fellowship, Neyman travelled to London to work with the leading statistician of the day, Karl Pearson. However Neyman found that Pearson and his colleagues were not as well versed in advanced mathematics as his mentors in Poland (between the World Wars Poland was possibly the premiere nation in the world in terms of mathematical sciences). Neyman extended his fellowship to study with French luminaries such as Lebesgue and Borel, eventually returning to Warsaw. Eventually Neyman returned to University College in London where, with Fisher and Pearson, he initiated some of the most compelling statistical notions of the twentieth century. While not taking sides in the vitriolic feud between Pearson and Fisher, Neyman did not thrive personally in London and left in 1938 for Berkeley, Claifornia where he spent the rest of his career.
