He studied law, taught geometry, and applied mathematics and mechanics, and in 1911 became professor of eugenics at the Univ. of London and director of the eugenics laboratory. A disciple of Francis Galton, he applied statistical methods to the study of biological problems (especially evolution and heredity), a science he called biometrics. He founded and edited Biometrika and was author of many works including The Grammar of Science Chances of Death (2 vol., 1897), and a biography of Francis Galton (3 vol., 1914–30). Wikipedia Karl Pearson Karl Pearson (pencil sketch in notebook; there is some see-through of writing on next page) Karl Pearson March 27 April 27 ) was a major contributor to the early development of statistics as a serious scientific discipline in its own right.

43. Biographies pearson s son egon was also a statistician of note. pearson made fundamentalcontributions to biometry, epidemiology and championed the use of statistical http://tulsagrad.ou.edu/statistics/biographies/pearson.htm

Karl Pearson By the age of thirty, Pearson had become a barrister (although he never practiced law), had written verse and plays and been appointed as a mathematics professor in University College in London. He was well-known as a lecturer on many topics ranging from German Literature to Karl Marx (he was an avowed socialist). But his major contributions started at age 33 when he became interested in Galton' s work on the statistical measurements of biological organisms. He started a collaboration with the zoologist Walter Weldon and they co-founded the journal Biometrika Between 1893 and 1912 Pearson wrote a series of papers that laid the foundation for many modern statistical concepts. He provided the mathematical basis for regression, introduced by Galton, and invented linear regression, the general linear model, an early version of the chi-squared test. He introduced the family of exponential distributions which are fundamental to the study of probability. When Galton died in 1911 he left the residue of his estate to establish a chair in Eugenics at University College in London which Pearson held until his retirement in 1933. Pearson founded the first department of applied statistics at a University at University College in London.

44. Biographies In 1933 pearson retired from the Galton chair and it was divided, with Fisherholding one chair and pearson s son egon the other. http://tulsagrad.ou.edu/statistics/biographies/fisher.htm

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.

I do not think so ... I have written my account because I loved my friend and had sufficient knowledge to understand his aims and the meaning of his life for the science of the future. I have had to give up much of my time in the last twenty years to labour which lay outside my proper field, and that very fact induced me from the start to say, that if I spent my heritage in writing a biography it shall be done to satisfy myself and without regard to traditional standards, to the needs of publishers or to the tastes of the reading public."

46. Life Of Francis Galton By Karl Pearson Vol 2 : Image 5 I have to acknowledge the great aid I have received from my son Mr egon S.pearson in dealing with Galton s photographic material and researches. http://www.mugu.com/browse/galton/search/pearson/vol2/pages/vol2_0005.htm

Recognized HTML document Preface vii personality, from childhood to old age, but I venture to think we can find portraits which emphasise even the individual moods and characteristic phases of his many-sided mentality. This book may help to preserve that play of expression which forms the charm of our memory of a friend, and which is renewed and kept alive by many photographs, until they perish also. This perishing of photographic portraits, whether negatives or prints, has been sadly impressed upon me not only -in the case of photographs of Galton himself-which I have endeavoured to put into a more permanent form-but further in the case of nearly all Galton's own photographic work. Box after box of his negatives as well as the prints from them have perished or are rapidly perishing. I felt strongly the need for preserving at least his hitherto unpublished results in composite portraiture. But to add this number of plates to my volume seemed only possible by curtailing its text. This difficulty was finally overcome by the generosity of Mr Edward WhelerGalton and by the aid of one who owed much to Sir Francis. In this way it became feasible to give comprehensive illustration of what Galton achieved in composite photography. The exhibit will, I hope, lead to the renewal of this branch of investigation, for I am convinced that its possibilities are- by no means exhausted. I have to acknowledge the great aid I have received from my son Mr Egon S. Pearson in dealing with Galton's photographic material and researches. I have further to thank Major Leonard Darwin and my colleague Miss Ethel M. Elderton for aid- in a variety of ways. Lastly I have to place on record a confession. The Galtoniana contain a large number of manuscripts and notebooks in Galton's hand ; many of these are in pencil, much rubbed, occasionally obliterated. In the earlier chapters of this volume I have constantly used this material. Lately I have been unable, owing to failure of sight, to do so. I may well have missed material which ought to have found its place in these pages. My only apology, must be that of what lay in my power to give I have freely given..

47. Pearson Biogr. Notes pearson came to equate morality with the advancement of social evolution, and Applied Statistics were maintained by egon S. pearson (son of Karl) and J. http://www.bun.kyoto-u.ac.jp/~suchii/pearson.bio.html

Scientists and Society Karl Pearson (1857-1936), Biographical Notes Born as the second son of a middle-class lawyer (Quaker) in London. He was educated in London, but at the age of 16, he was withdrawn (because of ill-health) from the school and sent to Hitchin; there he learned mathematics with a private tutor, Edward John Rauth. Entered King's College, Cambridge; studied mainly mathematics. He refused to attend the required divinity lectures and chapel. After graduation, he went to Germany (Berlin and Heidelberg), and studied various things: law, philosophy, mathematics, physics, evolutionary theory, literature, etc. He also learned socialism and was influenced by that. On his return to England he began preparation for the bar. He changed his name from "Carl" to "Karl". Kevles's appraisal of Pearson's socialistic view is quite interesting: Having abandoned religion, he sought a secular creed, and he found one appropriate to his personality in a socialism-iron-handed, if necessary-based on the Fichtian imperative of subordinating the mass of citizens to the welfare of the nation-state. Pearson came to equate morality with the advancement of social evolution, the outcome of the Darwinian struggle with the ascendancy of the fittest nation, and the achievement of fitness with a nationalist socialism. (Kevles 1985, 23)

56. Geep, Shoats And The Tetrachoric Coefficient Of Correlation two famous statisticians called pearson b) that Karl pearson is egon pearson sfather and f) to know that the pearson involved in this is not egon. http://www.senns.demon.co.uk/Geep.htm

Continuitis, Dichotomania and the Tetrachoric Coefficient of Correlation Guernsey McPearson Karl Pearson suffered from galloping continuitis . To him, the very idea of a dichotomy was offensive. Show him a binary characteristic and he would imagine it continuous. Show him a two by two table and he would imagine it bivariately continuous. That being so, what the data were in need of was a correlation coefficient and he was the man to provide it... and a name for it. Pearson's tetrachoric coefficient of correlation is based on the idea that binary outcomes are really continuous ones that have somehow been binaried. (They met a medical advisor on a dark night most likely. More of this anon.) How did this work? Well this column is not famed for detailed exposition, the broad themes, the great controversies, the deep philosophical issues, these are our subject matter but since you asked... What you didn't ask? The cheek of it! Don't try to pretend to me that you know all about tetrachoric coefficients of correlation. I've interviewed a good many of the younger generation and I know what they know about: bootstraps, BUGS and anything else that involve throwing random numbers at problems, but tetrachoric coefficients of correlation ? I don't think so. So sit up and pay attention. We need to estimate a bivariate Normal distribution. Without loss of generality we can let the two means be zero and the two standard deviations be one. We can then use each of the two margins of the table to estimate the two cut-points. For example we might have the following table describing readers of this article

The Development of Correlation and Association in Statistics Jake D. Brutlag fourth revision 3/10/98 The object of statistical science is to discover methods of condensing information concerning large groups of allied facts into brief and compendious expressions suitable for discussion Sir Francis Galton (1822-1911) One historical motivation for the field of statistics was to capture the meaning of data in "brief and compendious expressions." It is one thing to glance at a table of numbers and claim "I see some meaning here"; it is quite another to demonstrate such a table constitutes evidence for a particular conclusion. In the study of two random variables measured in the same sample, correlation measures the degree to which the two measures are linearly related. A related concept is the regression model, in which the goal is to find a linear equation that best predicts the value of one variable (or measurement), given the value of the other variable. The best estimate of the slope in the regression model, y = b(x) + a, is related to the correlation coefficient, r, by: where, s is the sample standard deviation of y and x respectively (Frank 128).
