William H. Kruskal (Statistician)

William H. Kruskal was a prominent statistician known for developing methods to analyze and interpret complex data. He co-created the Kruskal-Wallis test, a statistical method used to compare three or more groups to see if they differ significantly, especially when data doesn’t follow a normal distribution. His work has been influential in fields like social sciences, medicine, and research, helping researchers make informed decisions based on data. Kruskal's contributions advanced non-parametric statistical techniques, making it easier to analyze data in a variety of real-world situations where traditional methods might not be applicable.
