这本书探讨了统计的历史，从该领域的起源在十九世纪通过的因素，产生了现代统计创新的爆发在二十世纪初。这本书表明，统计并不是由数学家开发，然后应用于科学和社会科学。相反，这一领域是通过社会科学家的努力而形成的，他们认为在研究社会时需要统计工具。开创性的统计物理学家和生物学家詹姆斯·克拉克（James Clerk）麦克斯韦（Maxwell）、路德维希·玻尔兹曼（Ludwig Boltzmann）和弗朗西斯·高尔顿（Francis Galton）通过指出他们的学科与社会科学之间的类比，将统计模型引入科学。一个新的序言着眼于如何保持这本书的相关性，因为它的首次出版，并认为目前的统计在科学研究中的地位。
This book explores the history of statistics from the field's origins in the nineteenth century through to the factors that produced the burst of modern statistical innovation in the early twentieth century. The book shows that statistics was not developed by mathematicians and then applied to the sciences and social sciences. Rather, the field came into being through the efforts of social scientists, who saw a need for statistical tools in their examination of society. Pioneering statistical physicists and biologists James Clerk Maxwell, Ludwig Boltzmann, and Francis Galton introduced statistical models to the sciences by pointing to analogies between their disciplines and the social sciences. A new preface looks at how the book has remained relevant since its initial publication, and considers the current place of statistics in scientific research.
