Microsoft PowerPoint - New Microsoft PowerPoint Presentation

[Virtual Presenter] Good morning everyone! Today, we will be exploring the topic of the Impact of Statistics on Our Global Society. We will examine the various ways that statistics have shaped how we interact with, understand, and improve the world around us. To begin, let's take a look at its history, as well as the significant figures who contributed to its development..

[Audio] Statistics has been essential to progress since the beginning of time. It enables us to quantify, analyze and interpret data from numerous areas, and lets us make decisions based on evidence and research. We will be looking into the vital roles Indian and international statisticians have played in the field of data analysis, and how these accomplishments have influenced the world. Let's delve into how these leaders have formed the field of statistics and the influence of these breakthroughs on various disciplines..

[Audio] Statistical analysis is a process of collecting, organizing, analyzing, interpreting, and presenting data. It is a science that allows us to understand the patterns and relationships that exist in data. This process enables us to find trends, make predictions, and discover interesting facts about our world. This presentation will focus on the international importance of this field and the statisticians who have developed it..

[Audio] We are examining the contributions of two Indian statisticians. Ramanathan Krishnan was elected by the International Statistical Institute in 1937, and he was the first President of the Indian Statistical Institute in 1931. He is well-known for his work on least squares and curve fitting. Prasanta Chandra Mahalanobis was a polymath and leader of the Indian statistical movement. He co-founded the Indian Statistical Institute in 1931 and made key contributions to the field through his use of Bayesian theory and applied statistics to agricultural and industrial problems. His most influential work was the D2 statistic he produced in 1936, which is still employed in biometry and econometrics..

[Audio] Raghu Raj Bahadur was a notable statistician and mathematician born in Delhi, India in 1924. He obtained a BA and MA in mathematics from the University of Delhi and a doctorate from the University of North Carolina. From 1956 to 1961, he served as a professor at the Indian Statistical Institute in Calcutta before transitioning to a professor at the University of Chicago for the rest of his academic career. His most distinguished work was his development of Bahadur Efficiency, a breakthrough in the field of statistics and engineering used for solving binary classification problems. He also held the position of president of the Institute of Mathematical Statistics from 1974-75 and was a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1986. These successes make Raghu Raj Bahadur a major figure in the field of statistics and engineering..

[Audio] Arup Bose is an Indian statistician of great significance. He obtained his B Stat, M Stat, and PhD in Statistics from the Indian Statistical Institute in Kolkata, and subsequently joined Purdue University in the United States as an assistant professor. He was bestowed India's highest science award in 2004, the Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar Prize for Science and Technology in the Mathematical Sciences category, and is an invited speaker for the International Congress of Mathematicians in 2010. He is currently a professor of theoretical statistics and mathematics in the Indian Statistical Institute and has made immense contributions to the field of Statistics worldwide..

[Audio] Often overlooked, foreign statisticians have made significant contributions to the statistical landscape globally. Florence Nightingale, a nurse and renowned statistician from England, is widely known for her pioneering work in epidemiology and data visualization. Nightingale's development of the world's first comparative pie charts to demonstrate the mortality rates of soldiers in the Crimean War had a major impact on the field of statistics, as well as influencing public health practices and policy. Another noteworthy foreign statistician is Johann Peter Gosset, a German. Gosset is credited for introducing the concept of statistical inference and his research on the normal distribution process is still used today in hypothesis-testing. His insights into sampling and estimation also pushed the boundaries of statistics. Foreign statisticians have been instrumental in bringing us to the current era of data-driven decision-making and policy-making. Their hard work and achievements should be recognized and honored..

[Audio] Florence Nightingale is renowned for her pioneering work in nursing, but her contributions to the realm of statistics remain less-known. Born in 1820, Nightingale was a gifted statistician who used data to improve public health. Despite the absence of computers and health databases, she managed to analyze data and draw precise conclusions. Her most iconic work, the Nightingale Rose Diagram, was a fundamental tool in understanding and forecasting the mortality rate during the Crimean War. Her historical contributions to the science of statistics are still remembered today..

[Audio] Ronald A. Fisher was a British statistician and geneticist who had a significant influence on the field of statistics. He transformed experimental design, analysis of variance, and the notion of the p-value in hypothesis testing. Fisher's ideas are still essential to the evolution of statistical methodology now. The accompanying image presents a peek into his work, with a photo of Fisher and an illustration of a p-value..

[Audio] It is crucial that we do not overlook the achievements of statisticians from around the world. For generations, they have analysed a plethora of topics, from climate change to illness, and provided us with information about how these matters influence the world in general. Statistics have not only revolutionised science, but have also developed the cornerstone of much of contemporary political decision-making. Mathematics has become a common language, a way to dissect the real aspects of our society. This demonstration spotlighted the incredible successes of those foreign and Indian statisticians, giving a look into their essential influence. We wish that this demonstration has provided you with knowledge on the significance of their labour and the way it has impacted our society..

THANK YOU. thanK You.
