Classical statistical theory-hypothesis testing, estimation, and
the design of experiments and sample surveys-is mainly the creation
of two men: Ronald A. Fisher (1890-1962) and Jerzy Neyman
(1894-1981). Their contributions sometimes complemented each other,
sometimes occurred in parallel, and, particularly at later stages,
often were in strong opposition. The two men would not be pleased
to see their names linked in this way, since throughout most of
their working lives they detested each other. Nevertheless, they
worked on the same problems, and through their combined efforts
created a new discipline.
This new book by E.L. Lehmann, himself a student of Neyman's,
explores the relationship between Neyman and Fisher, as well as
their interactions with other influential statisticians, and the
statistical history they helped create together. Lehmann uses
direct correspondence and original papers to recreate an historical
account of the creation of the Neyman-Pearson Theory as well as
Fisher's dissent, and other important statistical theories."
