	Karl Pearson (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Karl Pearson was born in London on the 27th March 1857.
		Pearson's work was all-embracing in the wide application and development of mathematical statistics, and encompassed the fields of biology, epidemiology, anthropometry, medicine and social history.
		Pearson's work on classifying probability distributions forms the basis for a lot of modern statistical theory; in particular, the exponential family of distributions underlies the theory of generalized linear models.

		The son, Egon Sharpe Pearson, succeeded him as head of the Applied Statistics Department at University College.
		His commitment to socialism and its ideals led him to refuse the offer of being created an OBE (Officer of the Order of the British Empire) in 1920, and also to refuse a Knighthood in 1935.

	Biometrika - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Biometrika is a scientific journal established in 1901 by Francis Galton, Karl Pearson and W.
		Weldon to promote the study of biometrics, the statistical analysis of hereditary phenomena; the name was chosen by Pearson, although Edgeworth insisted that it be spelt with a k and not a c.
		Galton's role in the journal was essentially that of a patron and the journal was run by Pearson and Weldon and after Weldon's death in 1906 by Pearson alone until he died in 1936.

		Pearson contended that he called the LaPlace-Gaussian distribution the “normal curve,” which he later viewed as unfortunate because it seemed to imply that all other curves are “abnormal.” In Pearson’s first fundamental paper on correlation, “Mathematical Contributions to the Theory of Evolution: III.

		Egon helped develop theories dealing with applications of statistical techniques, statistical theory, opera tions research, and statistical education.
		He was concerned with calculating new tables, percentage points of Pearson curves, and distribution of skewness and kurtosis coefficients.
		Egon Pearson made many progressions in modern day statistics, but his greatest work was as a teacher.

		His publications in Pearson's journal Biometrika were signed "Student," not because of a Guinness company policy forbidding publication, as is often said, but more precisely because of a company wish to keep secret the fact that they were gaining an industrial advantage from employing statisticians.
		He was on the scene in the 1930's when Jerzy Neyman and Karl's son Egon Pearson were collaborating in London on their new theory of hypothesis testing, a collaboration which had begun in 1928 in Paris, when Pearson had interested Neyman in the problem of providing a proper mathematical basis for Gosset's t function.
		Egon Pearson to a certain extent rephrased the question which Gosset had asked in statistical parlance.

	Biographies
		By the age of thirty, Pearson had become a barrister (although he never practiced law), had written verse and plays and been appointed as a mathematics professor in University College in London.
		While Pearson was a socialist and declined honors such as a knighthood because of that, he held views that would be universally regarded as racist today.
		Pearson made fundamental contributions to biometry, epidemiology and championed the use of statistical analysis in wide-ranging disciplines.

		Pearson thus emphasised to Galton that the sort of sociological problems that he was interested in pursuing for his eugenics programme were markedly different from the research that was conducted in the Biometric Laboratory.
		Pearson’s theory of ether squirts was the final product from his theory of electromagnetism and atomism that he had been working on in the late 1880s.
		Pearson had just devised the standard deviation in 1892 when Weldon approached him for assistance because he found that one of his distributions of data was bimodal, while the rest of his data were normally distributed.

		Egon had begun to question the rationale underlying some of the current work in statistics, and the letter outlined his concerns.
		The set of issues addressed in the joint work of Neyman and Pearson between 1926 and 1933 turned out indeed to be a "big problem," and their treatment of it established a new paradigm that changed the statistical landscape.
		This comment led Pearson to propose to Neyman the likelihood ratio criterion, in which the maximum likelihood of the observed sample under the alternatives under consideration is compared to its value under the hypothesis.

	Information theory founders
		In 1933 Karl Pearson retired as Galton Professor of eugenics at University College and Fisher was appointed to the chair as his successor.
		Pearson went much further, however, and claimed that Fisher had done a disservice to statistics by widely publishing erroneous results.
		Even after Pearson died in 1936, Fisher continued his attack on him, which made the atmosphere in University College a very difficult one with Pearson's son Egon Pearson also holding a chair there.

	Geep, Shoats and the Tetrachoric Coefficient of Correlation
		Pearson's tetrachoric coefficient of correlation is based on the idea that binary outcomes are really continuous ones that have somehow been binaried.
		You begin to see, do you not, that having 'heard' of Karl Pearson is a criterion that admits of a subtle continuum rather than a mere vulgar dichotomy.
		This is the opposite of continuitis, or Pearson's syndrome as it is sometimes known.

		While there, his interest in statistics was renewed by an encounter with Karl Pearson's son Egon, also then in Paris, who was trying to find a general principle from which Gosset's ("Student's") T test could be derived.
		He wrote several papers jointly with Egon Pearson, one of them relevant to the Gosset Problem, and the other dealing with the Bayes Theorem about prior and posterior probabilities.
		Egon Pearson's operation competed uncomfortably with Ronald A Fisher's differently oriented and indeed actively hostile statistical enterprise on the floor above.

		It is worth pausing to realise that Pearson is known as one of the founders of statistics, yet we have reached 1890 and the 33 year old professor of applied mathematics, although having a high reputation in a wide variety of areas, had still not begun to work on statistical problems.
		Pearson was a co-founder, with Weldon and Galton, of the statistical journal Biometrika.
		Between 1928 and 1933 Neyman and Egon Pearson had written a number of important papers on hypothesis testing and the collaboration was highly productive with papers such as On the problem of the most efficient tests of statistical hypotheses (1933) and The testing of statistical hypotheses in relation to probabilities a priori (1933).

		Firstly there is a disagreement with regard to the preference for correlational large scale studies (Karl Pearson) versus experimental small scale studies (Ronald Fisher).
		Spearman's belief in one general intelligence (g) factor, which supposedly was the driving force behind the development of factor analysis, leads to arguments, which last for several decennia, with Thurstone and others who gradually look upon factor analysis as 'just' a way to simplify the data.
		Although many of these ideas existed long before (Lush 1931, Fisher 1932; Pearson 1933, Snedecor 1946) it is Glass who gives this approach the impetus to achieve the status it enjoys since.

		Karl Pearson (1857-1936) was the leading statistician of his day.
		He founded the prestigious statistical journal Biometrika (still a major publication), the Pearson correlation coefficient is named after him, he developed a system of probability density curves also named after him, and he invented the Chi-square test of statistical significance.
		Fisher (1890-1962) wrote the first book on Design of Experiments, revolutionized statistics with the concept of likelihood and estimating parameters by maximizing their likelihood, and told Pearson that he misunderstood his own Chi-square test, and was therefore calculating probability of failure incorrectly by using the sample means as though they were the population means.
