Florence Nightingale (1820–1910) is renowned as a nurse who made significant contributions during the Crimean War, but her legacy extends far beyond the nursing profession. Nightingale was a pioneer in the use of statistics to improve healthcare services. Through a data-driven approach, she revolutionized public health systems, making her one of the most important figures in the history of statistics. ... 

Karl Pearson is one of the most important figures in the history of statistics, often referred to as the father of modern statistics. Born on March 27, 1857, in London, England, Pearson is known for his significant contributions to the development of various statistical techniques that are still widely used today. One of his greatest contributions was the development of the Pearson correlation coefficient and the chi-square distribution, both of which are foundational in many statistical applications and hypothesis testing. ... 

Ronald Aylmer Fisher was one of the most influential mathematicians and statisticians in history, often referred to as the “Father of Modern Statistics.” Born on February 17, 1890, in London, England, he made extraordinary contributions to the development of statistical theory, which laid the foundation for many data analysis techniques still in use today. Throughout his remarkable career, he introduced several key concepts in statistics, such as Analysis of Variance (ANOVA), Maximum Likelihood Estimation, and Experimental Design, all of which play an important role in modern statistics and scientific methodology. ... 

In today’s digital era, we live in a world filled with data. Every second, new information is transmitted, received, and analyzed by devices across the globe. But how do we measure this information? Does all information hold the same value, or is there a way to quantify its worth? This is where the theory of information entropy plays a crucial role. ... 

Statistics is a discipline that relies on data analysis to produce valid conclusions. However, in practice, the data used often contains outliers that can significantly affect the results of the analysis. Outliers can distort parameter estimation and hypothesis testing, making it essential to manage their impact carefully. Robust statistics theory has emerged as an effort to address and mitigate the effects of outliers on statistical analysis. This article explores robust statistics, particularly in the context of robust estimation in regression and hypothesis testing. ... 

The Neyman-Pearson theorem serves as a critical foundation in statistical hypothesis testing. Developed by Jerzy Neyman and Egon Pearson, this theorem provides a framework for making optimal decisions when faced with two hypotheses: the null hypothesis (H0) and the alternative hypothesis (H1). Its core aim is to maximize the power of a statistical test while keeping error rates under control. ... 

Multivariate statistics is a branch of statistics used to analyze data involving more than one variable. In many real-world applications, data often consist of various interrelated variables. Therefore, multivariate statistical methods are crucial for analyzing the relationships between these variables. Some of the techniques used in multivariate statistics to analyze data involving more than one variable include factor analysis, cluster analysis, and dimension reduction techniques such as Principal Component Analysis (PCA). This article will explore factor analysis, cluster analysis, and PCA in greater depth, along with their applications in various fields. ...
