This volume presents a selection of the letters of Ronald Aylmer Fisher, a pioneer in the methodology of twentieth century scientific research whose work on the principles of inductive inference greatly enlarged our understanding of the nature of uncertainty and contributed fundamentally to the philosophy of our age. The letters reflect Fisher's work in developing statistical methods needed in the interpretation of experimental data, and his later efforts, which recast the entire theoretical basis for mathematical statistics and experimental design. Relevant material from the letters of Fisher's distinguished correspondents is also included. This unique collection will shed light on one of the great legends in the history of science and statistics.
