Statistics in Medical Research

Developments in Clinical Trials

By: E.A. Gehan,N.A. Lemak

In 1890, General Francis A. Walker, president of both the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the American Statistical Association, wrote There is reason to wish that all citizens, from the highest to the lowest, might undergo so much of training in statistics as should enable them to detect the errors lurking in quantitative statements regarding social and economic matters which may ... be ad dressed to them as voters or as critics of public policies. [E A. Walker, 1890; reprinted in Noether, 1989] It has been more than a century since Walker stated his wish, but progress has been slow, just as advancement in the establishment of statistical principles and methodology has been laborious and difficult over the centuries. We have tried to describe the milestones in this development and how each generation of scientists built on the heritage and foundations laid by their predecessors. Many historians dismiss the "great man theory," which alleges that giant "leaps of human knowledge are made by great thinkers who transcend the boundaries of their times; great scientists don't leap outside their time, but somewhere else in their own time" (Hevly, 1990). We found this to be the case in the history of statistics. Even the innovative writings of Karl Pearson and Sir Ronald Fisher that became the foundation of modern mathematical statistics were the outcome of two centuries of antecedent ideas and information.

Martel in the Slovene Karst in 1893

Translated from his Publications and Correspondence by Trevor Shaw

By: E. A. Martel,Trevor Shaw

E.A. Martel (1859–1938) upravičeno velja za enega najpomembnejših ljudi v zgodovini raziskovanja jam. Ker je pisal v francoščini, je bilo njegovo delo v tistih delih Srednje Evrope, ki so bili v avstrijskem cesarstvu, malo poznano. Tako veliko tega, kar je napisal o klasičnem krasu (Krasu), ni bilo lahko dostopno tistim, ki zdaj živijo na tem območju. Zato ta angleški prevod njegove objave iz leta 1894. Martel je bil v Sloveniji od 14. septembra 1893 do sredine oktobra. Glavne jame in kraške značilnosti regije mu je razkazal Wilhelm Putick, ki je kraje raziskoval od leta 1886. Pomoč mu je odobril grof Falkenhayn, dunajski kmetijski minister, kar zgovorno priča o tem, kako mednarodno pomemben je bil Martel.
