Statistics, often described as the science of learning from data, is a field that has profoundly shaped the modern world. From the early days of probability theory to the contemporary advances in machine learning (ML), statisticians have played a pivotal role in developing tools and methodologies that underpin vast areas of science, industry, and society. This book, The Statisticians and Their Statistics, is a tribute to the remarkable individuals who have made these contributions, shaping not only the discipline of statistics but also the broader landscape of knowledge and discovery. As a student of statistics and a passionate follower of its history, I have always been fascinated by the stories behind the theorems, the equations, and the concepts that form the bedrock of statistical science. In writing this book, my aim has been to bring these stories to life, exploring the lives, works, and legacies of the statisticians who have laid the foundations and driven the evolution of this vital field. The Statisticians and Their Statistics is organized into different sections, each dedicated to a key figure in the history of statistics. Beginning with Karl Pearson, who established the foundations of modern statistics, and moving through the works of giants like R.A. Fisher, Jerzy Neyman, and William Gosset, the book covers the development of hypothesis testing, regression analysis, exploratory data analysis (EDA), and more. It also delves into the contributions of statisticians like John Tukey, who revolutionized the way we explore data, and Bradley Efron, whose work on resampling methods opened new avenues in statistical inference. In addition to these well-known figures, I have included sections on individuals whose contributions, though perhaps less celebrated, have had a profound impact on the field. Figures like Gerard Salton, who advanced information retrieval, and Grace Wahba, whose work on splines has influenced numerous applications in science and engineering, are given the recognition they deserve. This book also explores the broader applications and interdisciplinary impacts of statistics, examining how statisticians like W. Edward Deming and Myron Tribus applied statistical thinking to management and decision science, shaping practices that continue to influence business and industry today. As we look to the future of statistics, the final sections of this book reflect on the ongoing evolution of the field. With the advent of big data, artificial intelligence (AI), and computational statistics, the role of the statistician has never been more critical. I hope that this book serves as both an educational resource and an inspiration to those who are passionate about statistics, whether they are students, professionals, or simply curious minds. I would like to express my deepest gratitude to the many mentors, colleagues, and friends who have supported me throughout the process of writing this book. Their insights and encouragement have been invaluable. I also extend my thanks to the statisticians whose work forms the backbone of this book; their dedication and brilliance continue to inspire me. Finally, to the readers: I hope you find this book as enriching and engaging to read as it was to write. May it deepen your appreciation for the rich history of statistics and the remarkable individuals who have made it what it is today.画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。
