Tales of Statisticians
Jerzy Neyman
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 testing, a position that is now generally accepted. He went to England in 1926 to work with the statistician Karl Pearson, whose work (and especially whose 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, but while still there his interest in statistics was renewed by an encounter with Karl Pearson's son, Egon Pearson, also then in Paris, who was trying to find a general principle from which Gosset's ("Student's") tests could be derived. Neyman returned to Warsaw in 1927, and with American funding attempted to 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

BIOGRAPHY 13.3 Egon S. Pearson
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).

BIOGRAPHY 13.2 Jerzy Neyman
Neyman and Pearson introduced the concept of confidence intervals into the theory of estimation at about the same time that Fisher wrote about fiducial intervals , and for a time the two concepts lived amiably side by side, appearing to be two names for the same thing. Eventually, however, it became clear that these were different concepts, indeed. Fisher's 95 percent fiducial interval, for example, would claim a 95 percent probability that a given parameter lay within the interval constructed around a sample statistic already calculated. Unlike Fisher, Neyman-Pearson would establish the interval before the sample was taken and before any statistic was calculated. A 95 percent confidence interval according to Neyman-Pearson only claims that use of their formula in the long run produces intervals such that 95 out of 100 of them contain the parameter, while any actual interval, constructed after sampling, was

    In Memoriam: Egon Glesinger's
    by Gunnar Myrdal Egon Glesinger's contribution to international forestry and FAO GUNNAR MYRDAL, distinguished Swedish economist and political scientist, is the author of numerous social studies among them Asian drama and The challenge of world poverty. Egon was a lifelong intimate friend and in some periods also a close collaborator. We first met when, for the academic year 1930-31, I served as assistant professor at the Institut Universitaire de Hautes Etudes Internationales in Geneva. Egon was then completing his voluminous and valuable doctoral thesis on the European forestry industry , le bois en Europe . He participated in a seminar I led on the Great Depression, which had then spread to Europe and was worsening. I retain memories of his brilliant analytical conception of what was happening In 1931, our personal relations had become so close that Egon, finished with his doctoral studies, decided to come to Sweden, where he rapidly developed effective relations with the leading personalities in the forestry and pulp and paper industries. In Sweden he also found his life companion, Ruth. Egon was born into a very rich Jewish family with immense holdings of forests and related wood industries in Teschen, a region on both sides of the boundary between Poland and Czechoslovakia. He told me that he was pressed to come home and prepare himself to head the forestry empire of his family. Egon, however, wanted instead to devote himself to serving the more general and international interest of organizing producers and consumers of timber products in all Europe. Though we never discussed it in detail, I gathered that this decision caused something of a break with his family and particularly with his father.

    Karl Pearson: A Reader’s Guide FRONT page Print the legend! [The first thing Pearson could remember] was sitting in a high chair sucking his thumb. 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 can’t 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. These characteristics were prominent throughout his entire career.

    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.

Short biographies of statistical innovators such as Francis Galton, Karl Pearson, Edward Deming, John Tukey and the most important of all, Ronald A. Fisher might seem of limited interest. Yet, over the past century, statisticians probably have done more to help us understand the real world than philosophers, who are endlessly profiled in countless books.

    deirdre-mccloskey@uiowa.edu
    My father, who was a political scientist at Harvard, used to say with a superior smile that the Department of Social Relations (Harvard's home for sociologists) ought to be investigated. It was the 1950s and he was imagining Talcott Parsons investigated by some intellectual equivalent of the House Un-American Activities Committee. I laughed, and majored in Economics. A few years later, though, when I was a section man (so the sexist terminology of 1966) in the interdisciplinary major called Social Studies I was required to teach Marx, Durkheim, Weber to undergraduates, which entailed actually reading some sociology. So I soon lost my sneering rights about the field. Since then I've never been quite able to close my mind to what sociologists say, though like most economists I've given it the old college try. Despite my professional oath never listen to anyone outside economics, I've listened to David Riesman and C. Wright Mills, for example, and to a long list of sociologically-oriented anthropologists, and latterly to the group of British sociologists (and an occasional Frenchman) doing social studies of science: Michael Mulkay, Harry Collins, Trevor Pinch, Bruno Latour, among many others. But I worry. My worry is something like the opposite of my father's. It's not that sociology is insufficiently Rigorous. It's that sociology may be rigorously following political science itself into what might be called econowannabe-ism: the promiscuous use of rational choice "models" backed with econometrics. I was a colleague of Gary Becker's when he was conspiring with Jim Coleman at Chicago to accomplish just this for sociology. At the time I thought it was neat. But since then I've seen it for what it is: one idea of how people behave, useful so far as it goes; but really stupid as an all-purpose scientific program. Really. Stupid.

    Johdanto
    Wiccaa on akateemisissa tutkimuksissa käsitelty usein osana New Agea, vaikka monet wiccat ovat asiasta toista mieltä. Pearson viittaa Britanniassa tehtyyn tutkimukseen, jossa enemmistö (86%) wiccoista ei pitänyt Wiccaa osana New Age -liikettä. Useiden wiccojen reaktiot tähän ajatukseen olivat hyvin tunnepitoisen jyrkkiä. Pearson lainaa Wicca-papittaren kirjoittamaa parodiaa Hamletin tunnetusta yksinpuhelusta, joka kuvaa hyvin monien wiccojen suhtautumista New Ageen: New Age vaiko ei New Age? Siinäpä kysymys.
