	Unasylva - Vol. 5, No. 1 - Equipment news - Planning and statistical design in silvicultural research
		A single forest research project may be started by one individual or group of individuals, it may be continued by several successive groups, and it may be completed by men who were not born when the project was established.
		Statistical methods are, however, not the whole of silvicultural research, or of any other kind of research.
		Statistical methods applicable to biological research are described in an ever-increasing number of publications.

	Classics in the History of Psychology -- Fisher (1925) Chapter 1
		Statistics may be regarded as (i.) the study of populations, (ii.) as the study of variation, (iii.) as the study of methods of the reduction of data.
		This particular dependence of social studies upon statistical methods has led to the painful misapprehension that statistics is to be regarded as a branch of economics, whereas in truth economists have much to learn from their scientific contemporaries, not only in general scientific method, but in particular in statistical practice.
		The statistical examination of a body of data is thus logically similar to the general alternation of inductive and deductive methods throughout the sciences.

	Classics in the History of Psychology -- Fisher (1925) Chapter 3
		If a second sample belies this expectation we infer that it is, in the language of statistics, drawn from a different population; that the treatment to which the second sample of organisms had been exposed did in fact make a material difference, or that the climate (or the methods of measuring it) had materially altered.
		Such statistics are of course variable from sample to sample, and the idea of a frequency distribution is applied with especial value to the variation of such statistics.
		For this reason it is customary to assume that such statistics are normally distributed, and to limit consideration of their variability to calculations of the standard error or probable error.

	BMJ Review of R. A. Fisher's Statistical Methods for Research Workers
		Statistical Methods for Research Workers, is known to the learned world as an able and original mathematical statistician, while as chief statistician to the Rothamsted Experimental Station, he has had considerable experience of the application of quantitative methods to a particular class of biological problems.
		The aim of his present volume is to supply a manual for biological research workers desiring to evaluate statistically their experiments.
		Fisher’s researches will miss a detailed justification of his conclusions, and may resent the somewhat arrogant way in which the law is laid down upon points respecting which there is difference of opinion among persons possibly as well informed as Mr.

	Cross-Disciplinary Research in the Statistical Sciences
		Research is needed to develop stochastic models of computer systems to better understand and improve systems that use parallel processors, to analyze the behavior of algorithms through probabilistic methods, and to build appropriate numerical representations of uncertainty into rule-based expert systems.
		Statistical research is needed to further the development of sophisticated stochastic models that quantify risk factors present, for example, in a decision to invest in automated equipment or a pilot plant.
		Statistical analyses of these systems and the development of novel methods to cope with the complexity of the models, the input data, and their applications are essential.

		Statistical Methods for Research Workers is an introductory course on statistics, which is being offered by the Statistical Consulting Service.
		Statistics books emphasise the analysis of data, but it is unfortunately true that most research investigations which fail do so because of poor planning.
		Finally, some of the basic tools of statistics, namely linear regression, analysis of variance, and the analysis of two-way contingency tables, will be presented.

	Student’s Review of R. A. Fisher's Statistical Methods for Research Workers
		Chapter IV of the Methods took Student’s rather obscure paper of 1908, “The probable error of the mean”, and transformed it into one of the major works of statistics.
		Student was the least “innocent” of the reviewers of the Statistical Methods for, not only had he been kept informed of the development of Fisher’s ideas, he had read the book in proof.
		Chapter I is not easy to follow for those unfamiliar with the “jargon” of the science and such readers are advised to skip freely after Section 2, but to return and read it carefully after they have become accustomed to the use and implications of the various terms employed.

	Why P=0.05?
		When Fisher published Statistical Methods for Research Workers (SMRW) in 1925, he included tables that gave the value of the random variable for specially selected values of P. SMRW was a major influence through the 1950s.
		However, the calculation is absurdly academic, for in fact no scientific worker has a fixed level of significance at which from year to year, and in all circumstances, he rejects hypotheses; he rather gives his mind to each particular case in the light of his evidence and his ideas.
		Further, the calculation is based solely on a hypothesis, which, in the light of the evidence, is often not believed to be true at all, so that the actual probability of erroneous decision, supposing such a phrase to have any meaning, may be much less than the frequency specifying the level of significance.
