Extractions: Version for printing Egon Pearson 's father was Karl Pearson , whose biography is given in this archive, and his mother was Maria Sharpe. Egon was the middle child of three in the family; Sigrid Loetitia was three years older and Helga Sharpe three years younger than Egon. Even as a child at the age of five he was aware of his father's work and his efforts to bring the journal Biometrika into existence. Later in life Egon recalled creating his own journal as a five years old:- ... which was all scrawls with chalk. He attended school, first at Dragon School Oxford from 1907 to 1909, then going to Winchester College from which he graduated in 1914. He had been accepted to study at Trinity College Cambridge in June of that year. World War I began in 1914 before he was due to matriculate at Cambridge, and had Pearson's health been good he would have found himself in military service. However, his health had never been good as a child and he had a heart murmur which now prevented him from enlisting. He therefore went to Trinity College, Cambridge, to begin his university studies. These studies were interrupted by influenza which hit him hard and he was unable to study from August 1914 until the end of that year. At the end of one year of study, Pearson left Cambridge in 1915 determined to make a contribution to the war effort, and he worked for the Admiralty and the Ministry of Shipping.

Extractions: Version for printing Karl Pearson 's mother Fanny Smith and his father William Pearson were both from Yorkshire families. William was a barrister of the Inner Temple [26]:- He was a man of great ability, with exceptional mental and physical energy and a keen interest in historical research, traits which his son also exhibited. William and Fanny named their second child Carl and he used this name until he was about 23 years old when he changed the spelling to Karl. In this article we shall refer to him either as Karl or as Pearson. Karl, together with his one older brother and one younger sister, were brought up in an upper-middle class family. After being educated at home up to the age of nine years, he was sent to University College School, London. He studied there until he was sixteen, but he was then forced to leave due to illness. A private tutor was engaged to teach him at home and he took the Cambridge Scholarship Examinations in 1875 and, coming second in the examinations, he won a scholarship to King's College. At Cambridge he was taught by Stokes Maxwell Cayley and Burnside . His coach was perhaps the most famous of all the Cambridge coaches, namely

Extractions: PowerPoint Presentation Egon Sharpe Pearson was born in London, England, the son of Karl Pearson (Biography 14.1). Egon was educated at Cambridge University and closely followed in his father's footsteps. Early on, he joined his father's department at University College, London. In 1933, when his father resigned, he took over one of the two new positions created as replacements, the other one going to R. A. Fisher (Biography 13.1). In this position, and as editor of Biometrika , he contributed importantly to statistics (he himself published some 133 papers). Above all, he is known, along with Jerzy Neyman (Biography 13.2) as the developer of the modem theory of hypothesis testing (as it is found in text Chapter 13). The Neyman-Pearson approach differed considerably from Fisher's and this difference gave rise to a lifelong and bitter controversy. Unlike Fisher who viewed hypothesis testing as a procedure by which a researcher could form an opinion about some population parameter, Neyman-Pearson viewed it as a means by which a decision maker operating under uncertainty could make a clear choice between two alternatives, while at the same time controlling the chances for error (and minimizing costs associated therewith).

Someone told him to stop sucking it, and added that unless he did so, the thumb would wither away. He put his two thumbs together and looked at them for a long time. They look alike to me, he said to himself. I cant see that the thumb I suck is any smaller than the other. I wonder if she could be lying to me. Here in this simple story we have rejection of constituted authority, faith in his own interpretation of the meaning of observed data, and finally, imputation of moral obliquity to a person whose judgement differed from his own.

Extractions: 13 June 1876 - 16 Oct 1937 Gosset earned a degree in chemistry at Oxford, and joined the Guinness brewery firm in 1899. His work for Guinness led him investigate the statistical validity of results obtained from small samples (previous statistical theory had concentrated instead on large samples). He took a leave of absence to spend 1906/1907 studying under Karl Pearson at University College, London. His publications in Pearson's journal Biometrika were signed "Student," not because of a Guinness company policy forbidding publication, as is often said, but more precisely because of a company wish to keep secret the fact that they were gaining an industrial advantage from employing statisticians. Gosset's most important result is known as the "Student's t" test or distribution, published in 1908. In these pages, we will drop the subterfuge and restore the discoverer's name to the discovery. We will call it "Gosset's t." His work founded the concept of quality control, which Neyman and others were later to develop more fully. In studying the distribution of yeast cells, he independently discovered the

Extractions: 16 Apr 1894 - 5 Aug 1981 Jerzy (Polish for "George") Neyman was born in what presently became a part of Russia, and received his PhD in Warsaw. His early teaching was in the areas of mathematics and statistics. He did not invent, but was an early advocate of, random rather than representative sampling, a position that is now generally accepted. He went to England in 1926 to work with the statistician Karl Pearson, whose writings (especially the book The Grammar of Science) had been an early inspiration, but was disappointed to find him unacquainted with modern mathematics. Neyman pursued other interests in Paris (1927), attending the lectures of Lebesgue and Borel. While still there his interest in statistics was renewed by an encounter with Karl Pearson's son Egon, also then in Paris, who was trying to find a general principle from which Gosset's ("Student's") t test could be derived. Neyman returned to Warsaw in 1927, and with American funding set up a biometric laboratory, which came into existence as the Nencki Institute in 1928. He wrote several papers jointly with Egon Pearson, one of them relevant to the Gosset Problem, and the
