	Human Intelligence: Karl Pearson
		Karl Pearson developed some of the central techniques of modern statistics.
		In the early 1900's Pearson became interested in the work of Francis Galton, who wanted to find statistical relationships to explain how biological characteristics were passed down through generations.
		Pearson's research laid much of the foundation for 20th-century statistics, defining the meanings of correlation, regression analysis, and standard deviation.

	Karl Pearson
		Karl Pearson was a major player in the early development of statistics as a serious scientific discipline in its own right.
		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.

	[No title]
		Pearson correlation assumes that the two variables are measured on at least interval scales.
		A system of distributions proposed by Karl Pearson (e.g., see Hahn and Shapiro, 1967, pages 220-224) consists of seven solutions (of 12 originally enumerated by Pearson) to a differential equation which approximate a wide range of distributions of different shapes.
		The Pearson residual is computed as the raw residual (y-m), scaled by the estimated standard deviation of y.

		In his last year he was not so busy and I think very ill. There were some times in the spring and summer when it seemed he would die.

	Karl Pearson Summary
		Pearson also formulated a method, known as the chi-square, of measuring the likelihood that an observed relation is in fact due to chance, and used this method to determine the significance of the statistical difference between groups.
		Pearson also formulated a method, known as the chi-square statistic, of measuring the likelihood that an observed relation is in fact due to chance, and used this method to determine the significance of the statistical difference between groups.
		Pearson became the Galton Professor of Eugenics in 1911, and headed a new department of applied statistics as well as the biometric laboratory and a eugenics laboratory, established to study the genetic factors affecting the physical and mental improvement or impairment of future generations.

	Sample Chapter for Porter, T.M.: Karl Pearson: The Scientific Life in a Statistical Age.
		Pearson optimistically anticipated that in the end the governors would recognize their need for his tools, and in a way this proved right, but he could not have felt himself, in his own time, supported by the crushing force of modernity.
		Pearson derived from eugenics also a sense of connectedness with the deeper purposes of life, a pantheistic wholeness recalling his early admiration for Spinoza that was hard to reconcile with the positivist's alienation from nature.
		Pearson's life, the story of an aggressive, angular, and deeply self-conscious scientist, is also an account of the changing possibilities of the scientific self in an age that has inclined to confine it and to isolate it from other aspects of this sometimes passionate process we call living, by making it selfless and objective.

		Of the three mathematicians, it was Karl Pearson, along with his ambition and determination, that lead people to consider him the founder of the twentieth-century science of statistics.

		Karl Pearson was definitely one of the founders of the twentieth-century science of statistics.

		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.

	Porter, T.M.: Karl Pearson: The Scientific Life in a Statistical Age.
		Karl Pearson, founder of modern statistics, came to this field by way of passionate early studies of philosophy and cultural history as well as ether physics and graphical geometry.
		Pearson sought to reconcile reason with enthusiasm and to achieve the impersonal perspective of science without sacrificing complex individuality.
		It focuses on the early part of his career in an effort to show how he was drawn to the study of statistics and eventually conceived it as the key to a new philosophy of nature, which was to become his life's work.

		Neither Fisher nor Karl Pearson was a stranger to scientific controversy, and each man had used letters published in Nature for public disputation.
		Although Pearson and Fisher alluded to some of their previous quarrels in their 1935 letters, the primary issue was the complaint of a working scientist who opined that the statistical tests developed by the two men were largely irrelevant to scientific practice.
		Pearson's and Fisher's letters were replies to an invitation to "some statistician of international repute" contained in a letter on statistical tests that appeared in Nature on August 3, 1935.

	Karl Pearson on Mendelian Genetics and his Chi-Square Tests
		The Victorian mathematician and scientist, Karl Pearson (1856-1937) who was one of the principal architects of the modern theory of statistics, was interested in applying his developing mathematical-statistical models to a network of various theories of inheritance from 1895 to 1910.
		Before the turn of the twentieth century, Pearson considered ancestral, alternative and exclusive theories of heredity, based on nineteenth century ideas of blending and non-blending theory of inheritance, which were underpinned by continuous variation.
		Pearson's alleged denunciation of Mendelism was promulgated by Bateson and was perpetuated throughout the course of the twentieth century.
