Abstract:
It is certainly appropriate that The Statistical and Social Inquiry Society
of Ireland should present a paper about the great statistician Fisher in
this year, the centenary of his birth. I am very pleased to be giving the
paper, but I must admit that writing it posed some problems. There
have already been many other commemorations of Fisher this year: by
statistical societies; institutions he worked in and various journals. I do
not want to merely repeat what has been said elsewhere and what some
of the audience may already know.
