It is unlikely that anyone has had a greater impact on the
methodology of scientific research in the twentieth century than
Ronald Aylmer Fisher. From his early work in developing statistical
methods needed for the interpretation of experimental data, he went
on to recast the entire theoretical basis for mathematical
statistics and to initiate the deliberate study and development of
experimental design central to the whole process of the Natural
Sciences. In clarifying the principles of inductive inference,
Fisher greatly enlarged our understanding of the nature of
uncertainty and contributed fundamentally to the philosophy of our
age. This volume presents a selection from Fisher's letters on
statistical inference and analysis and related topics. It also
includes relevant material from the letters (from many
distinguished scientists) to which he was replying. It is a
companion volume to Natural selection, heredity, and eugenics:
selected correspondence of R. A. Fisher with Leonard Darwin and
others (ed. J. H. Bennett, Clarendon Press, Oxford, 1983).
