Jerzy Neyman (April 16, 1894 – August 5, 1981; born Jerzy Spława-Neyman; Polish: [ˈjɛʐɨ ˈspwava ˈnɛjman]) was a Polish mathematician and statistician who first introduced the modern concept of a confidence interval into statistical hypothesis testing[2] and, with Egon Pearson, revised Ronald Fisher's null hypothesis testing.
Neyman spent the first part of his professional career at various institutions in Warsaw, Poland, and then at University College London; and the second part, at the University of California, Berkeley.
