Data Science #1 - Fisher RA. "On the mathematical foundations of theoretical statistics"(1922)

We discuss Ronald A. Fisher's paper "On the Mathematical Foundations of Theoretical Statistics"(1922), which profoundly shaped the field of statistics by establishing key concepts such as maximum likelihood estimation, which is crucial for parameter estimation in statistical models.

Om Podcasten

We discuss seminal mathematical papers (sometimes really old 😎 ) that have shaped and established the fields of machine learning and data science as we know them today. The goal of the podcast is to introduce you to the evolution of these fields from a mathematical and slightly philosophical perspective. We will discuss the contribution of these papers, not just from pure a math aspect but also how they influenced the discourse in the field, which areas were opened up as a result, and so on. Our podcast episodes are also available on our youtube: https://youtu.be/wThcXx_vXjQ?si=vnMfs
