Microsoft PowerPoint - Statisticians A Global Perspective

TITLE•.STATISTICAL PIONEERS: EXPLORING THE CONTRIBUTIONS OF INDIAN AND FOREIGN STATISTICIANS.

INTRODUCTION • Welcome to our presentation on Statisticians: A Global Perspective. • We will delve into the remarkable contributions of both Indian and foreign statisticians to the world of data analysis. • Join us on this iourney as we explore the impact of statistics in various fields and honor the statisticians who have shaped it..

WHAT IS STATISTICS? • Statistics is the science of collecting, organizing, analyzing, interpreting, and presenting data. • Its role is crucial in transforming raw data into meaningful insights, aiding informed decision-making. • The objective of our presentation is to showcase the global significance of this field and the statisticians who have contributed to it..

INDIAN STATISTICIANS • India has produced exceptional statisticians who have made their mark both nationally and internationally. • Let's explore the contributions of two notable Indian statisticians..

C.R. SUNDARARAJAN: a. Contributions to Sampling Theory: C.R. Sundararajan made significant contributions to the field of sampling theory, particularly in the design and analysis of complex surveys. b. Director of ISI: He served as the Director of the Indian Statistical Institute (ISI) and played a pivotal role in the institute's growth and development. c. National Sample Survey: Sundararajan was involved in the planning and execution of the National Sample Survey (NSS), a large-scale socioeconomic survey in India. d. Awards and Recognitions: He received several awards and honors for his outstanding contributions to statistics and survey methodology. e. Influence on Survey Research: Sundararajan's work on sampling methods and survey research has had a lasting impact on the way data is collected and analyzed in India..

PRANAB K. SEN: a. Robust Statistics: Pranab K. Sen is a prominent statistician known for his work in robust statistics, a field that deals with the development of statistical methods that are less sensitive to outliers in data. b. Influential Research: Sen's research has led to the development of robust estimation and inference methods, which are widely used in various applications, including economics and environmental science. c. Professor and Author: He has held academic positions at various institutions and has authored several books on statistics, sharing his expertise with students and researchers. d. Fellow of Professional Societies: Sen is a Fellow of the American Statistical Association and the Institute of Mathematical Statistics, reflecting his significant contributions to the field. e. Statistical Education: He has made substantial contributions to statistical education and has mentored many students and statisticians, furthering the field of statistics..

FOREIGN STATISTICIANS • Foreign statisticians have also left an indelible mark on the global statistical landscape. • Let's explore the achievements of two notable foreign statisticians..

SIR RONALD A. FISHER (1890-1962) • A British statistician and geneticist known for revolutionizing statistics. • Contributed to experimental design and analysis of variance. • Pioneered the concept of the p-value in hypothesis testing. • His work remains a cornerstone of statistical methodology. • Visual: Photo of Sir Ronald A. Fisher and an illustration of a p-value..

FLORENCE NIGHTINGALE (1820-1910)" • Celebrated English nurse and pioneer of modern nursing. • Statistically analyzed healthcare data to improve public health. • Innovative use of statistical graphics, including the 'Nightingale Rose Diagram. • Her work helped reduce mortality rates during the Crimean War. • Visual: Photo of Florence Nightingale and a Nightingale Rose Diagram..

CONCLUSION • "Statisticians, whether Indian or foreign, have shaped the world we live in." • "Statistics is a universal language, and these figures have made invaluable contributions." • "We hope this presentation has given you a broader understanding of their impact." • "Thank you for joining us on this journey through the world of.
