Fisher, Ronald A.

Ronald A. Fisher was a renowned British statistician, geneticist, and evolutionary biologist who made foundational contributions to modern statistics and genetics. He developed key statistical methods, such as analysis of variance (ANOVA), which help scientists interpret data accurately. Fisher also advanced the understanding of how genes are inherited and evolved, shaping the field of population genetics. His work has had a profound impact across science, enabling more precise data analysis and deepening insights into biological inheritance and evolution.
