Ronald Fisher Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages von Ronald Fisher:

The analysis of variance is not a mathematical theorem, but rather a convenient method of arranging the arithmetic.

Natural selection is not evolution.

Ronald Fisher

To call in the statistician after the experiment is done may be no more than asking him to perform a post-mortem examination: he may be able to say what the experiment died of.

Ronald Fisher

Natural selection is a mechanism for generating an exceedingly high degree of improbability.

Ronald Fisher

We have the duty of formulating, of summarizing, and of communicating our conclusions, in intelligible form, in recognition of the right of other free minds to utilize them in making their own decisions.

Ronald Fisher

I believe sanity and realism can be restored to the teaching of Mathematical Statistics most easily and directly by entrusting such teaching largely to men and women who have had personal experience of research in the Natural Sciences.

Ronald Fisher

To consult the statistician after an experiment is finished is often merely to ask him to conduct a post mortem examination. He can perhaps say what the experiment died of.

Ronald Fisher

In scientific subjects, the natural remedy for dogmatism has been found in research.

Ronald Fisher

The tendency of modern scientific teaching is to neglect the great books, to lay far too much stress upon relatively unimportant modern work, and to present masses of detail of doubtful truth and questionable weight in such a way as to obscure principles.

Ronald Fisher

The analysis of variance is not a mathematical theorem, but rather a convenient method of arranging the arithmetic.
