Sir Ronald Fisher

Sir Ronald Fisher

Sir Ronald Fisher was an English statistician, evolutionary biologist, geneticist, and eugenicist who standardized the interpretation of statistical significance (starting around 1925), and was the main driving force behind the popularity of tests of significance in empirical research, especially in the social and behavioral sciences.
