摘要

作为一名新统计学家，w·f·谢泼德给当时最著名的统计学家卡尔·皮尔逊写了一系列的信，寻求他的建议。这些信件写于一个世纪前，跨越了三十年，让我们得以一窥统计学的两大重要贡献:正态概率表和矩估计的修正。谢泼德的正态概率表是标准正态分布的第一组现代表，自20世纪以来被广泛使用。我们提供了谢泼德和皮尔逊在他们通信的背景下进行的统计研究的检查。

W.F. Sheppard's correspondence with Karl Pearson and the development of his tables and moment estimates

As a new statistician, W.F. Sheppard wrote a series of letters to the leading statistician of the day, Karl Pearson, for his advice. Written a century ago and spanning three decades, the letters provide a glimpse into the development of two significant contributions to statistics: the normal probability tables, and the corrections of moment estimates. Sheppard's normal probability tables were the first set of modern tables for the standard normal distribution and have been widely used since the twentieth century. We provide an examination of the statistical research carried out by Sheppard and Pearson in the context of their correspondence.

期刊介绍： Historia Mathematica publishes historical scholarship on mathematics and its development in all cultures and time periods. In particular, the journal encourages informed studies on mathematicians and their work in historical context, on the histories of institutions and organizations supportive of the mathematical endeavor, on historiographical topics in the history of mathematics, and on the interrelations between mathematical ideas, science, and the broader culture.
