Lehmann, Erich L.

Fisher, Neyman, and the creation of classical statistics - New York Springer 2011 - viii, 115 p.

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.
