Abstract

In this section, we shall discuss another way to deal with the problem of making a statement about an unknown parameter associated with a probability distribution, based on a random sample. Instead of finding an estimate for the parameter, we shall often find it convenient to hypothesize a value for it and then use the information from the sample to confirm or refute the hypothesized value.

Jerzy Neyman (1894–1981) was a Polish mathematician and statistician who spent the first part of his professional career at various institutions in Warsaw, Poland, and then at University College London, and the second part at the University of California, Berkeley. Neyman first introduced the modern concept of a confidence interval into statistical hypothesis testing.

Egon Sharpe Pearson, (1895–1980) was one of three children and the son of Karl Pearson and, like his father, a leading British statistician. Pearson is best known for the development of the Neyman–Pearson Lemma of statistical hypothesis testing. He was the President of the Royal Statistical Society in 1955–1956 and was awarded its Guy Medal in gold in 1955. He was awarded a CBE in 1946.
