Abstract

The main purpose of this paper is to clarify the theoretical and philosophical idea of statistical inference by W.S. Gosset who is one of most famous statisticians in 20th century. In general, his discovery of t distribution may be regarded as one of most important contributions to mathematical statistics. However, the author denies this appreciation to W.S. Gosset, because t distribution was discovered by German mathematician, J. Luroth before W.S. Gosset. Then, the author tried to analyse the theoretical and philosophical differences among the statistical inferences by K. Pearson, R.A. Fisher and W.S. Gosset.
