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. The book is divided into five main sections:
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,
1912-1935. Throughout each of the chapters, the author provides
lively biographical sketches of many of the main characters,
including Laplace, Gauss, Edgeworth, Fisher, and Karl Pearson. He
also examines the roles played by DeMoivre, James Bernoulli, and
Lagrange, and he provides an accessible exposition of the work of
R.A. Fisher.
