Egon Pearson

British statistician (1895-1980) · United Kingdom · On the map · Academics · Died at 84

Egon Sharpe Pearson was one of three children of Karl Pearson and Maria, née Sharpe, and, like his father, a British statistician.

Egon Pearson is read about 32 times a day, in 23 languages.

A typical day, 30 days to 22 June 2026

The middle day of the days counted, so one week of news cannot move it. The line under it is the last 60 days, one point a day.
