Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. 8vo (22.5 cm), XII, 252, [2] pp. Publisher's cloth, gilt-lettered spine (binding slightly rubbed and stained, ownership inscription on the front endpaper, endpapers somewhat foxed). A landmark work by one of the founders of modern statistics, this book establishes the logical and mathematical principles behind sound scientific experimentation. Fisher argues that an experiment is only as valid as its design, and introduces concepts that became cornerstones of statistical science--most notably randomisation, the null hypothesis, the test of significance, and analysis of variance. Drawing on concrete examples ranging from a simple psycho-physical experiment to Darwin's plant growth data, he shows how proper experimental design eliminates bias and allows unambiguous conclusions to be drawn from data. The book also covers more advanced topics such as Latin squares, factorial designs, confounding, and the measurement of information, always grounding abstract principles in practical application. Written for working scientists rather than pure mathematicians, it remains one of the most influential statistics books ever published.
