Abstract
Abstract After periods of work under Karl Pearson and R. A. Fisher, Oscar Irwin joined the staff of the Medical Research Council in 1931 and thereafter became the leading mathematical statistician in British medical research. He had a wide range of theoretical interests, including the use of the characteristic function, the development of the exact test for the 2 × 2 table, and the Waring distributions. His biometric interests included bioassay, factor analysis, accident proneness, and carcinogenicity experiments.
