His contributions to statistics include promoting the method of maximum likelihood and deriving the properties of maximum likelihood estimators, fiducial inference, the derivation of various sampling distributions, founding principles of the design of experiments, and much more.
The contributions of Sir Ronald Aylmer Fisher to the discipline of statistics are multifarious, profound and long-lasting. In fact, he can be regarded as having laid the foundations of statistics as a science. He is often dubbed the 'father of statistics'. He contributed both to the mathematical theory of statistics and to
