Biographical Notes
Bayes was a non-conformist minister in England. A version of what is now known as Bayes’ theorem was used in his paper "Essay towards solving a problem in the doctrine of chances," published in the Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London in 1764.
James Bernoulli was the first of the famous Bernoulli family of Swiss mathematicians. He wrote one of the early books devoted to probability, Ars Conjectandi , which was published after his death in 1713. Bernoulli formulated the version of the law of large numbers for independent trials, now called Bernoulli trials, and studied the binomial distribution.
Buffon was the director of the Paris Jardin du Roi and was best known during his time for his thirty-six volume work on natural history. Buffon's famous coin and needle problems are considered to be among the first problems in geometric probability.
Cardano, who lived in Italy, was a man of many interests: law, medicine, astrology, gambling, and mathematics. His book Liber de Ludo Aleae (The Book on Games of Chance), published after his death in 1663, contained perhaps the first mathematical analysis of gambling.

For further thought:
The Latin square design used in the formulation experiment is of a special type: rows cycle to the left as you move down the matrix. Why would this design not be appropriate in an agronomy experiment like the one described in this column? Fisher (see above) discusses this point. Comments: webmaster@ams.org

    Professor Sir Ronald Aylmer Fisher , F.R.S. ( February 17 July 29 ) was an extraordinarily talented evolutionary biologist, geneticist and statistician. He has been described by Richard Dawkins as "The greatest of successors," and the historian of statistics Anders Hald said "Fisher was a genius who almost single-handedly created the foundations for modern statistical science."

    Gregor Mendel and the Discovery of Genetics
    Through much of the 19th century it was widely believed that 'biology is destiny' and that virtually all human characteristics physical, social and moral are inherited. How heredity actually worked was a considerable mystery. Most characteristics seemed to be averages of those of the parents, perhaps 'regressed toward the mean' of the population as a whole. This seemed to imply that unless there were careful restrictions on choice of mates, people would eventually become more and more average in height, intelligence and everything else. (Very depressing for those who think that the 'average person' is a pretty poor specimen.) Some characteristics eye colour, for instance obviously do not behave in this way * but this only deepened the mystery. Perhaps you can have 'your grandfather's eyes' because some characteristics occasionally 'skip a generation.' Many feared that some less desirable ancestral quality might suddenly emerge Victorian romantic novels are populated with men who exhibit the 'murderous tendencies' of some distant ancestor, and women who live in terror lest they produce a 'throwback' baby because grandfather had sex with a woman of another race. Even Charles Darwin thought that the qualities passed on to children could change depending on the experiences of the parent diet, climate and 'moral exercise' would somehow change the information contained in sperm and ova.

    Asteroid 21451 Fisher was discovered on April 28, 1998, at Prescott, Arizona, USA by Paul G. Comba, who named it for distinguished British statistician Sir Ronald Aylmer Fisher(1890-1962). Asteroid Fisher has a period of 3 years, 161 days. Ronald Fisher Astrologically, Fisher seems to relate to investigation, persecution, looking restlessly or "trolling" for something, evangelism, recruitment, taking it easy or not working for a living, possibly concern with fishing or statistics. Bob Dylan, whose reinventions of himself and his musical style are myriad and legendary, has Fisher parallel the Moon(the public, women), semisquare Mercury(writings), parallel Chiron(ingenuity, to teach or invent), nonile South Node(past conditioning), quincunx the Part of Fortune(success, life's unfoldment), conjunct Black Moon(wild, unpredictable), parallel Pandora(to have an impact, unforeseeable consequences, cascading events), and contraparallel Lacrimosa("singing the blues"). Joseph McCarthy, who started the 1950s witch-hunt against Communists, other leftists, liberals and pacifists known as the Red Scare, had Fisher in the seventh house of open enemies, biseptile the Moon, conjunct the Sun(to shine), semisextile Mars(aggression, militarism), quadraundecimal Saturn(career, consequences), septile Uranus(the political left), undecimal Vesta(commitment), semisquare Part of Fortune and the Vertex(significant relationships), semisextile Hidalgo(to push one's agenda), opposite Pittsburghia(seriousness, inner depths), conjunct Sherlock(to nose things out), and contraparallel Volta(to galvanize).

    Commemorating Sir Ronald Fisher

    On Friday 17 May the Royal Statistical Society held a meeting in London to mark the unveiling of a memorial plaque to Sir Ronald Aylmer Fisher at the house in Hampstead where he spent his childhood. Such blue plaques commemorating famous people are a notable feature of the London street scene - an earlier example is one for Karl Pearson less than a mile away. The plaque was unveiled by June Posey, one of Fisher's daughters, in the presence of her brother Harry Fisher and one of her sisters, Margaret Fisher, and three of Fisher's grandchildren, David Newsom, Ruth Hodson and Amanda Poesy. The chairman of the 'blue plaque' committee of English Heritage, Francis Carnwath, and the President of the Royal Statistical Society, Peter Green, gave short addresses, before a gathering of some thirty wellwishers. The house, now called Inverforth House, is half-way along North End Way, on the west side of the road opposite Hampstead Heath. It has been extended over the years and is currently being converted into flats. In the afternoon papers were read at the Royal Statistical Society to mark the occasion. M.J.R.Healey spoke on Fisher's statistical work, A.W.F.Edwards on Fisher's genetical work and Alan Grafen on Fisher's contributions to evolutionary theory.

    Return to History Preamble A Brief History of Evolutionary Genetics. Part 2: Sir Ronald Fisher
    In 1918, Fisher provided the basis for reconciling all variation with Mendelism, and much else Fisher set out as a convinced Darwinian and Mendelian, and his first tasks were concerned with expressing the well-established results of the biometricians, such as phenotypic correlations among relatives, in terms of Mendel's irreducible particles. This he did in his startlingly original 1918 paper , already alluded to above. In so doing, he laid much of the foundation of modern biological statistics (e.g. he recommended variance - s2 - squared deviations from the mean - as a measure of variation rather than the standard deviation, s, since variances are additive when their sources are independent) Of direct relevance here, he recognised not only that all variation can be partitioned into genetic and non-genetic causes, but that, while the correlation among siblings is an expression of additive (selectable) genetic variance, there is also a genetic residue, including the effects of linkage, dominance and epistasis. Thus, in a single paper, nearly 80 years ago, Fisher set up the statistical model of quantitative inheritance that we still use today. Fisher concluded that significant evolutionary change took place only in large populations, almost exclusively by selection on near-independent loci

    The Lady Tasting Tea
    by David Salsburg
    Reviewed by Marc H. Mehlman
    The title of David Salsburg's book refers to a lady who claimed that tea tasted differently depending upon whether milk or tea was introduced to the teacup first. The lady's claim was disputed. However, Ronald Fisher (later to become Sir Ronald Fisher) devised a test to determine the likelihood of the lady's claim being correct. I leave the outcome of this test to those who will read this book. It is definitely worth reading. The Lady Tasting Tea appeals to both the professional and layman. While some knowledge of statistics is helpful, it is not necessary for an informed reading of this book. Statistical milestones are examined from both a historical and intellectual perspective, in a manner that the general public will understand. Also included are the personal details, opinions, life views and circumstances of many of the more famous statisticians. Salsburg believes that the public is not fully aware of the degree to which recent developments in statistics impact the way we perceive the world. He correctly points out that the twentieth century saw the fading of a deterministic outlook and the rise of a statistical/probabilistic way of looking at the world. This ongoing revolution is not only in the physical sciences, it also touches the social sciences and even the humanities. Though profound, it is a quiet revolution that has been unnoticed by many.
