Fisher

Fisher generally refers to Ronald A. Fisher, a pioneering statistician and geneticist. He developed methods for designing experiments and analyzing data that are foundational in science and statistics today. His work introduced concepts like the analysis of variance (ANOVA) and maximum likelihood estimation, which help researchers determine if differences between groups are meaningful or due to chance. Fisher's contributions have greatly improved how scientists collect, interpret, and draw conclusions from data, making research more reliable and systematic.
