Egon Pearson

Egon Pearson was a prominent statistician known for his contributions to the field of statistical hypothesis testing, particularly in developing the concept of the likelihood ratio test. He collaborated with his father, Karl Pearson, on refining statistical methods. Egon focused on differentiating between two competing hypotheses by analyzing data, which helps in making informed decisions based on evidence. His work laid the foundation for modern statistical analysis, improving how researchers assess the strength of their findings and make conclusions in fields like medicine, social sciences, and economics. His ideas remain significant in statistical theory today.
