The 16 Greatest Statisticians: A Lunchtime Contest of Statistical Minds

Join us for a unique contest featuring 16 renowned statisticians, organized by Egil Ferkingstad and Anders Løland. Each round will see four famous figures, including Bernoulli, Bayes, Laplace, and Gauss, competing in topics like risk aversion, inverse probability, and least squares. Engage with the history of probability theory and witness the legacy of these brilliant minds, culminating in a final round to determine the ultimate statistician. Let’s celebrate their contributions over lunch!
