George Box (Statistician)

George Box was a renowned statistician known for shaping modern experimental design and data analysis. He emphasized that all models are approximations and should be viewed as simplified representations of reality, which can be improved over time. Box famously stated, "All models are wrong, but some are useful," highlighting the importance of practicality in statistical modeling. His work helps scientists and engineers make better decisions by understanding data patterns and uncertainties, ultimately improving research, quality control, and innovation across various industries.
