再议高斯与正态分布

Re-discussion on Gauss and Normal Distribution

伴随着每一次新的分析统计数据概率统计模型的发现,统计理论都会出现一次较大的飞跃。高斯对人类文明影响最大的贡献就是正态分布,他的拓展的最小二乘法成为了19世纪统计学的最重要成就。正态分布在高斯的推动下,迅速在测量误差分析中被广泛使用,并在同时期科学家们的助力下,从测量误差分析的小溪,冲向自然科学和社会科学的汪洋大海。

With discovery of every new analysis statistical data about probability and statistical model,statistical theory will have major leap forward. The contribution of Gauss who has the greatest influence on human civilization is normal distribution,and his development of least squares became the most important achievement of statistics in 19 th Century. Under the impetus of Gauss,normal distribution was widely used in measure error analysis quickly. With the assistance of the scientists in the same period,normal distribution has greater influence.
