Résumé
Statisticians of the Centuries aims to demonstrate the
achievements of statistics to a broad audience, and to
commemorate the work of celebrated statisticians. This is
done through short biographies that put the statistical
work in its historical and sociological context,
emphasizing contributions to science and society in the
broadest terms rather than narrow technical achievement.
The discipline is treated from its earliest times and only
individuals born prior to the 20th Century are included.
The volume arose through the initiative of the
International Statistical Institute (ISI), the principal
representative association for international statistics
(founded in 1885). Extensive consultations within the
statistical community, and with prominent members of ISI in
particular, led to the names of the 104 individuals who are
included in the volume. The biographies were contributed by
73 authors from around the world.
The editors are the well-known statisticians Chris Heyde and Eugene Seneta. Chris Heyde is Professor of Statistics at both Columbia University in New York and the Australian National University in Canberra. He is also Director of the Center for Applied Probability at Columbia. He has twice served as Vice President of the ISI, and also as President of the ISI's Bernoulli Society. Eugene Seneta is Professor of Mathematical Statistics at the University of Sydney and a Member of the ISI. His historical writings focus on 19th Century France and the Russian Empire. He has taught courses on the history of probability-based statistics in U.S. universities. Both editors are Fellows of the Australian Academy of Science and have, at various times, been awarded the Pitman Medal of the Statistical Society of Australia for their distinguished research contributions.
